I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant, and since I am a local, I can say that we have been there several times a year since they opened, and consistency is the key. They offer gluten-free items for those of you who need that special dietary consideration. Downstairs, the pizza is pricey, but good.

Everything from the pizza to the service was excellent! We ate downstairs where there is a limited menu that is mostly pizza... but that is exactly what we wanted.... and it was happy hour too.

Not only does Lotsa Pasta have the best views of any restaurant in Cortez (Mesa Verde cliffs and Hawkins Preserve open space at sunset just stunning, from inside SE room or outside deck), for the price you can't get a better Italian meal anywhere (check out senior menu and they even meet special dietary needs). Service is wonderful, like Marcie... More

Excellent Italian food in a unique building with outstanding valley views. We went here because of the Tripadvisor reviews. Those reviews were well-justified. Food was excellent, service excellent, and price quite reasonable. Had a chance to meet one of the owners (the wife) who was most gracious and charming. We'll be back the next time we're in Cortez, that's for... More

The short and sweet: Great pizza, great deals, great service, and nice atmosphere! Our Wonderful Experience: The chef and waiter were both very friendly and accommodating! We had ordered 4 pizzas and the Chef had already started making them, but we forgot to mention we wanted whole wheat crust and they still gladly changed all 4 pizzas to whole wheat... More

We pulled into Cortez, CO after a long 12 hour drive, and happened to see the restaurant as we drove past on the way to our hotel. After considering our dinner options (and checking trip advisor reviews on Lotsa Pasta), we decided to give it a try. We were excited to find out that Tuesday nights offer a 'kids eat... More

Stopped here for dinner on our road trip becauseof the quirky name. Delicious food and better desserts! We all split several different entres and a couple desserts. The home made bread tops it off. Everythig was awesome, great service and clean facilities.obviously popular with the locals the place was packed.

We were visiting the area and were recommended this restaurant. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays, so we had to wait until later in our trip. We happened to go in on a Wednesday night, and the special of the night was All You Can Eat Spaghetti for about $5.50. Meatballs were optional and were 75 cents/each additional. It... More
