ReviewsUnenjoyable dining experience On February 19, 2002 my husband and I had dinner at Pasta Faire. We have dined there on an average of 3 times a month, for the past 4 years. My husband often orders a dish called Shrimp Portofino, it is normally a luncheon dish but he orders the diner portion. The dish served to him that evening was not at all up to par and was over done. We told our server who very graciously went to the manager. Jennifer I believe her name was. She said she would come to speak to us. After waiting about 20 minutes our server came to us and said she (the manager) could do nothing about it. So I went to her and told her I did not appreciate her not coming to speak to us. She said she had to change the paper in the printer. Also our meal took a great deal of time in coming to us. Pasta Faire has been one of our favorite dining places and we always take any visitors we have there for a meal. Needless to say we will not be going back. We feel we were not treating with proper respect or in a caring manner. Respectfully yours, On February 19, 2002 my husband and I had dinner at Pasta Faire.

After that restaurant closed, I was overjoyed to find one about 15 miles away in Belleview. Since then, my mother, father and I have always enjoyed their dishes. For my birthday, my family (including my parents, grandmother, uncle and aunt, and two close friends of our family) take me there and are always more than satisfied with the dishes, service, ambiance, and cleanliness. The only complaint they had this year was the new chairs that are not as comfortable as past years. I recommend to all my friends from both the Ocala/Belleview area and people that travel or have family in the area that they go there for a wonderful family evening. MUCH better than Olive Garden or other similar restaurants. Pasta Faire has been a favorite restaurant of mine since it was in Ocala on College Road years ago.

The bread and oil they serve for starters is absolutely wonderful. We have never been disappointed by a dish they serve, even their mixed vegetables side is seasoned and delicious. The ambiance is wonderful for special occasions like a birthday party, and also private enough for a romantic dinner. It's creative Italian Faire. Old favorites reinvented, and incredible rotisserie chicken in any dish! We have slow service on occasion, but it's always courteous. We consider it well worth the wait.

The roasted chicken and fresh breads are fantastic. The best dish I've encountered so far is the Pebble Beach, it's Broccoli, shrimp, and chicken in a alfredo sauce over angel hair pasta! It's phenomenal! Pasta Faire is hands down my favorite place to eat pasta, I live in Gainesville and am more than willing to travel the distance for their inventive, fresh and wonderful meals!

They are very nasty and need to have a few dollars invested in them to bring them up to par. I know the people working there have to use those restrooms and I have placed one warning about the way they are kept. Great place to eat good people! I like everything except for the restrooms.

Although, I will share some details; you cannot fully appreciate the annoyance of it all unless You had actually been there. When we first sat down our server seemed polite enough letting us know what the Hold up was on our drinks as she flew by several times. We ordered Sweet Tea, Which she continuously repeated thru out the evening. When we finally ordered I Felt as if we needed to hold on to a piece of her clothing or she would run away Before we finished ordering. If we asked a question or spoke out of turn she would Run us right over with her words, as if we were not to interrupt her. It was flat out Rude. When she delivered the bread I asked for butter. We did not get the salads for at Least 15 or so minutes. Due to the late hour that was puzzling. When she did Drop of he salads it was with such speed that I could not get the words out fast Enough that I asked for ranch dressing. I had to wait at least 5 minutes while She flew back and forth (I am not exaggerating.) Finally, my fiancée stopped her And I managed to quickly remind her again about the butter for the bread I asked For some time ago. Within 2 minutes of starting on my salad she informs me my dinner is ready Would we like it? My fiancée complains to me, wondering why we were not given Time to eat our salad’s before our meal is ready and setting under a warmer. I mean this is a decent restaurant, correct? Just Common Sense. During all of the above… Before salads arrive, my fiancée needed a refill on The Ice Tea. We were hoping perhaps “this time” we could get Sweet Tea like we Ordered. She continued to fly up and down the aisle, she acknowledged his empty Glass and kept chanting sweet tea right ?? many different times as she went by. He got a refill within 10 minutes. She brought a pitcher and once again asked Sweet Tea. It was not sweet. Towards the end of our meal he sat with no drink At all. There was no return visit for a refill or plate clearing When I requested my ranch dressing she looked at me and insisted I asked For Italian. By this time I had it with her. When the meal came, I had ordered The steak medium. Which to me means I will see at least a tinge of pink. It was Thoroughly cooked thru. To me, making it tough and hard to chew. I just Didn’t even care anymore. I left the steak on my plate and finished my salad And watched my fiancée hope he’d get a refill of “Sweet Tea.” We sat for at least 10 minutes with our silverware on our plates hoping for (no not a refill) but our bill and boxes. I eventually went to hunt down another Server to get us boxes. I was hoping to find someone up front to complain about our service but there was no one. Our server makes an appearance wondering what we wanted, at this time I was All but shaking my head to myself thinking “Oh My God!” We asked her for Boxes and off she ran. I told my fiancée I had to go outside or I was going to Lose any good manners I had and become quite rude. He comes outside shaking his head, saying it was a good thing I left when I did. She had sat down in my vacated seat boxing up our food asking him what was Wrong. He asked her to box our bread and butter also which she did not. As he is walking out he is puzzling over the bill. When he ordered his Spaghetti He only wanted a side salad. But, she (speed talking) suggested at least 3 other Types of salads in lieu of the one he had chosen. So he chose another. She had Given the impression they were all the same price as what he had ordered. We Look at the bill, and there is a $5 salad on there. He merely wanted a side salad. We were at the Outback a few weeks ago and ordered a side salad and she Mentioned they also had a new salad etc. We tried it per her suggestion and it Was the same price. Of course “that waitress” spoke calmly and politely and Gave us a chance to answer etc. I notice on the ticket there is no charge of the infamous “Sweet Tea.” If this was Her idea of any type of consolation for the irritating service, it did not work. Also, After the waiting, and eventually getting someone else to fetch her to our table With boxes, I was told she then stood at another table holding the boxes, as if we Hadn’t waited enough. My fiancée and myself were very disappointed. He was treating us after a late Night at work, at first we tried to laugh it off that she was not all there or on some Type of drugs. But when I have to go outside because my self-respect can’t take Any more for fear of causing a scene, well that is quite ridiculous. I don’t even Get this bad of service at a burger drive thru filled with high schools. Carmen S. Justice Food Rating [4/10] Service Rating [2/10] Ambiance Rating [8/10]
