Wanted to try this popular spot out and it was pretty good. Its kind of like a better version of Olive Garden except without the free bread and soup/salad. Had the tortellini crema which was yummy and it was a large portion. Service was nice!

Nice place for lunch! I found the restaurant from map cuz the name made me feel like so friendly. The place was not too big but good enough for stay. You will see the open kitchen when you walk in the door. It’s not easy to have a open kitchen for the restaurant, they must have to take a lots of challenge. The staff was friendly and helpful. Every time when I try a new Italian restaurant, I will definitely order their calamari. And obviously this one they did a great job. The price for good quality taste and good size. By the end of the meal have to try their tiramisu! Will be back!!

Nice family friendly restaurant which a large back atmosphere yet a good selection of fresh pasta and delicious deserts. They also have wines and spirits to pair them.Portions are generous so come with good appetite.Highly recommended if you are in the mood for pasta.

Ordered delivery. Was surprised to find out the cheese tortellini comes with veggies but this wasnt specified on menu description -- this would be important for those with allergies. Everything needed a dose of black pepper but nonetheless was tasty. There is enough food left over for another meal. The gnocchi is a little undercooked/gummy, but the rosemary is a nice touch to such a rich sauce.

To be honest, I didn’t like any of the food. We had calamari, the garlic cheese bread, I had pesto linguine and my husband had fettuccine alfredo. Calamari was chewy, the bread wasn’t garlicky at all, my pesto and his alfredo were both a little bland. But we had a great time! Came on a Wednesday for the $5 wine special, and our waiter was awesome! Really had a good experience despite the food not being very good. LOL. I’ll be back to order different food..

We waited 45 minutes. And let me tell you. It was worth the wait. Todd, our server, was super nice and attentive. The tooty fruity drink was perfect. The served marinara AND alfredo sauce with the mozzarella sticks. The brushetta was outstanding! We even poured alfredo sauce over it and it even better. Then our pasta came. We got Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo WITH shrimp AND broccoli. Needless to say, Im laying in bed in a food coma. Amazing service. Restaurant and bathrooms were spotless. Food was outta this world. We will DEFINITELY be back!! Thanks Pasta Bowl

We love going here! The service is always fantastic and the food has not disappointed yet. Affordable with good portion sizes (the leftovers are good too), our favorites include the Salmone a la Creme, the Tortellini Crema, and the Strawberry Walnut & Pear Salad.

This is honestly the best pasta Ive ever had! The staff was so wonderful and happy to check in and make sure everyone was having a good time. I cant wait to go back! If you are ever in the area put this at the top of your list! It has something for everyone, my family is full of picky eaters and no one left without raving about the dish they got.

We have eaten many times, but lately you if you dine in you have to wait over an hour for your food. They put to go orders over dine in. The manager was nonchalant and didnt seem to care . We saw constant food being picked and no food to the waiting tables. POOR MANAGEMENT. The servers will lose tips. Stop getting offended and listen to your patrons. I work in management and I listen when something is not working, nothing personal. Will visit the other location

The food here was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t believe how fresh and how tasty it all was. If you go here make sure you get the bruschetta. I feel like it’s a secret recipe that they perfected.We came at 5 PM and there was an zero wait time. I also wanted to mention how friendly and happy the staff was

Average. Gave me an eta of 4:35 pickup and when I got there they hadn’t even started cooking my order yet. Finally got my food 30 mins later from the time I got there. They said they “had a rush” but there was only 6 tables in there. Interior is boring and I would definitely never go there to dine in. Pretty average pasta. Got the fried ravioli app as well and it was not fried.. eh. Wouldn’t go out of my way to go there again.

Ordered to-go from this location. Food was hot and ready in 20 min. The man working the to go area was very quick and friendly. In our 2 min encounter, he put a great impression on us and definitely made us want to return before even trying the food. Food was great though. Portion sizes are huge and delicious. Happy experience here (:

Our Waiter was awesome. He was fast, efficient and he was so kind. It was our first time there or at any bowl. The food comes in good portions for the price. It was also just as good. I guess if youre local its not a bad place to eat. Its small inside not built for large groups. Not a problem but just in case you were wondering. I have actually had better food at other places. Its not by any means bad here just wasnt worth for me to drive 30 min from where we were. If ever in the area and i want pasta id definitely return. I have only 2 issues with this place. 1# was the chicken in both pasta and salad. It was way over cooked and too too dry. With the exception it was very well seasoned and tasted good. Lastly, the croutons were a bit hard almost as if they were stale. Thats about it though. A good pick if only youre in the area.

What an amazing surprise. Very unassuming place but every dish was delicious. We went with all meatless choices except for some calamari. Each dish had a unique taste not just generic pasta in sauce over a different noodle. And $20 Tuesday bottles of wine was a perfect combination.

AMAZINNNNG food and some of the best customer service I’ve ever had. Food was good down to the bread sticks with smoked mozzarella and marinara sauce. We walked in expecting a more upscale feel but enjoyed the small town, vintage vibes. We liked how you could see the kitchen and them cooking your food. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing service and food. After a long day of working and moving furniture (new to the area) I mistakenly ordered at a different Pasta Bowl than the one I had intended that is right down the street from me. The staff was an absolute blessing for calling the other Pasta Bowl to cancel my order there and remake it at my local one. I was so grateful. The delicious food and generous portions made me feel extra welcome in my new neighborhood.

I ordered a pasta from this location to be delivered to my work place. I added no tip on the order as I wanted to give it cash. When the order came, I unfortunately was not the one to open the door and did not give the tip. I wrote a review to the location about my order and they responded right away. They informed me that they could send the driver back so I could give my tip if that was what I desired as it was greatly appreciated. When the driver came, I gave the tip and was given a dessert in return for being nice for doing that when all I wanted was to make it right. This has been one of the greatest experiences I’ve had occur about how to go above and beyond for a customer. I work in the food/restaurant industry and know what this meant to the staff and show appreciation. The food was delicious and the people are super duper friendly. I had not been to this location before, but I will definitely come back again. Thank you!

The service from the waiters is phenomenal, but that is where it stops the managing is horrible, he has a poor attitude and has poor people skills. I had to step away from my family and speak to him about his attitude and as a 14 year old I felt it was just sad that I needed to do such a thing.

The service was great, everyone was friendly and they seemed to have great teamwork. The food was good too! Not a bad thing, but a note would be that the lobster ravioli does come with a lot of sauce, so maybe ask for light sauce.

Such a good restaurant. I’m from out of town and I wasn’t sure if they had dine-in service so I ordered online to pickup. Well I show up to pickup and I noticed they did have dine-in service.

Depending on what you get, it may cost a bit more than that $10 youd spend on fast food or something, but this pasta is no lame, fast food. It is honestly soooo good! I usually get the Chicken alfredo, but they have so many other delicious pasta options all made carefully q deliciously! The portions are good for like 2 meals too (at least for me), so definitely worth every cent. Delicious.

Ordered delivery and it came before estimated time. Tortellini creme was pretty good. It was a very nice portion, and felt worth the price. Now the strawberry/pear/walnut salad with their raspberry dressing was amazing. I wanted to order it again the next day. I would definitely order from again.

I wish we would have known about The Pasta Bowl on our past trips to Chicago, we found it wandering the area and it was such a nice surprise! The service was great and recommended some great dishes. Definitely will stop again. Only negative were the hostess/togo person and a kitchen guy were up front sitting on the counter and eating while we were there. Somewhat distracting and unprofessional.. they were an hour out from closing Im sure there was something to do or clean. Didnt affect how delicious the food was, so still 5 stars 😍

First time going or ever heard of this establishment. Enjoyed & love my dish of Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo & Cheesy Garlic Bread. Our waiter was great, although had a brief wait for table.

Went for a family dinner, nice booth seating but pasta dish I had, lobster ravioli was disappointing. Too heavy on the sauce and the sun dried tomatoes added a weird taste, perhaps it would have been better with mushrooms. Waitress was friendly although she forgot my soda until I was done with my meal.Would I come again? Probably not.

The food and drinks are good, but I had this waitress towards the closing time of the restaurant. I wish I remembered her name but she is white with short hair and she was very rude to me. She literally gave me a plastic fork and a metal knife to eat my pasta with and when I complained about she gave me so much attitude. She asked me: Don’t you watch the news??? We are trying to cut down on metal utensils. And I’m like so after all that, you still gave a metal knife and a plastic fork.....I guess I’m the dumb one 🙃.

Ordered 2 pastas and 1 appetizer for pick-up. It said in the email the order would be ready in about 25 minutes, I came late and it still was not ready, so it took them about 50 minutes. I ordered Conchiglie al Fuso - zucchini and squash were cut in big chunks, and pretty much not cooked and crunchy. They have a big selections of pastas and they look great on pictures. Disappointing I didn’t like mine.
