Having read the many good reviews for Pastabilities we headed there this evening. First off, let me say our server was wonderful -- she was attentive and her service was spot on. Unfortunately, my food wasn't spot on. We were the first seating of the evening and the much anticipated stretch bread arrived ice cold (on the upside, the spicy... more

We went to Pastabilities because of the favorable reviews and word of mouth. Unfortunately, our experience did not come close to either. Two out of three pasta dishes ordered arrived undercooked.

Cool, trendy atmosphere, populated mostly by 20-30-somethings on the Saturday evening I visited. Despite this, we brought our 6-year old along and did not feel out of place, especially since they have a kids' menu. Fresh, good pasta and fun drinks were available to all. more

My son's girlfriend took him here for his birthday. It was Saturday night, and it was early. Although there were better tables, they were put in the dark back corner of the restaurant. Within 10 minutes of ordering, their food was thrown on the table....and they barely put their forks down before the plates were grabbed from them and a... more
