Her experience ( sp + meat balls)It’s good but honestly you can make it yourself,Regular spaghetti, nothing specialHim - I got the signature dish,Honestly the first few bites were good, but they do give you alot, I almost rather have half the dish and 1/3 off the price,Drinks on a Thursday are 5$, not byobMaybe we picked the wrong 2 dishes. But I liked it, it’s worth another try with another 2 dishes,

We came by for dinner this evening and Kierra was a joy from the moment we walked in. She was very friendly, gave us drink and good recommendations which we thoroughly enjoyed. The food was great. And it wasn’t too busy which we enjoyed. Will definitely come back.

Nice digs and dishes. Id say its a happy medium between Noodles N Co and a really fancy Italian restaurant. The meals are well flavored at decent prices and the restaurant itself is good for a dinner with friends or a nice date. Enjoy!

Finally one after waiting so long to go back in to a restaurant. What else can I say the food was superb 👌. If youre a fan of pasta as much a I am I would definitely recommend The Pasta Bowl.

I came here for lunch and was absolutely impressed by friendly service, delicious food, and lovely atmosphere. My server, Helen, was attentive without being overbearing and contributed to one of those most pleasant lunch experiences I have had in the area. I cannot wait to come back!

This is not Italian pasta. Super bland food. this is OK for a quick bite I guess, but if you’re wanting authentic Italian, I’d go elsewhere.

I was very happy with this spot, it gives you exactly what it promises. The Pasta Bowl looks and feels like a non-pretentious pasta eatery several steps above Noodles & Co., but not quite Mia Francesca. It’s kitschy and easy and has a great menu that offers pasta dishes right up front with various apps and paninis on page 2. A simple wine, beer and cocktail list follows. It’s exactly what I wanted on a Thursday night after work and gym, meeting a friend from the hood to sit outside and be well fed.We started with a Chianti and a Cab and were very happy with our choices. From there the cranberry and gorgonzola salad was a refreshing and crunchy entree to our main courses. We asked for the waiter’s recommendations and he was very enthusiastic and genuine without simply jumping to the most expensive or featured items. I had the Capellini Pomodoro with sausage and my friend had Penne Putanesca with chicken. The servings were huge American/family sized bowls covered in shredded parmesan and steaming with flavor. We were both very satisfied and have leftovers for days.Don’t expect fine dining - it’s simple, big, casual and tasty. It was a little pricy for what we got but not unreasonable overall considering we had three plates and three glasses of wine. This is definitely going to be one of my new go-tos in the neighborhood.

This cozy restaurant has a red old-fashioned phone in it that WORKS!! The Presidential line at your service! The menu is mainly pasta that are serves in huge portions! The very friendly staff make sure you leave with positive feelings from the restaurant. Streek parking is available across the street. If you sit by the windos you can enjoy the snowflakes that shine under the street lamps.We had fetuccini alfredo, kids meal, choclate lava cake and a house speciality that I cannot remember the name of.Nothing but good memories 😁😍

I ordered my food and picked up according to when they told me I can pick up which is in 25 mins. My food was cold and I paid extra for extra broccoli and shrimp but I received less pasta than what I got yesterday. Basically same amt of food with a bit more shrimp but paid more $. Today was disappointing 😞 and the lady who took my order was not nice!

Review №31

[COVID takeout review]Overall: Great pasta for a great price!The good: Plenty of various pasta dishes to choose from, regardless of whether youre a vegetarian or not. The portions are hearty and youre bound to have leftovers, which is never a bad thing. The pasta itself is cooked well and the sauces are always top-notch. Food stayed hot and tasted great! And, last but not least, the prices are reasonable compared to other italian spots.The not-so-good: As many other reviews have stated, the plates can be rather oily. We didnt notice it initially, but after reheating our leftovers there were pools of oil on the plate. The bread that comes with the meals isnt amazing, but hey its still free bread.

So we always order from here. Today my guy tried the lobster ravioli. It smelled like it was rotten. So I got off a 12 hour shift and decided to order dinner for 2. Everything was good except the lobster ravioli. You could legitimately smell it before the bag was open... Really disappointing. I would say anything but that on the menu is great.

I decided to visit this place today for the first time. It was just before 9:20 pm when I walked in. The place advertises it closes at 10pm. I asked if they were still seating guests and the host effectively scowled we close at 10 pm! To which I asked ok. Well Id like to sit, is that weird. No you can sit inside, you can sit wherever you want. I wanted to sit outside so I asked can I sit outside? You can sit anywhere you want, but we close at 10. OK, youre too rushed about 10 oclock. Ill come back another time.

Super duper friendly staff and amazing food. I got a chicken alfredo and spaghetti and meat ball and they both came out amazing. There was a hostess (I didnt get her name but she worked there at 3pm on 1/27) was awesome. Like I said, incredibly nice staff and delicious food.

Pasta Bowl, as a franchise, has delicious food choices. My friends and I wanted to go on Valentines, so we called ahead to see if they accepted reservations. They advised they did not take them, but recommended a time period where their rush might be over. What we werent aware of, is that even though they werent taking reservations, they had a Valentines Day deal. $75 for two, including a starter, main course, dessert and a bottle of wine that retails for $50 by itself. The wait time, because of this, was quite long and the wait staff/cooks were a bit overwhelmed, which was not their fault. We got a complimentary dessert because of it, even though we hadnt said a word. I feel if a promo like that is going to be something they implement for holidays/special occasions, perhaps reservations might be good to use in tandem.

My wife and I have been going to eat here for several years and every time we are in the area we eat their Farfalle pasta dish. Always loved it, but today was very different. Our dishes were full of oil I mean dripping with oil. We tilted our plates to get a better idea and this is what we saw. I’m saddened to say they have ruined a good dish. Not sure if we will ever eat there again. I’ve added a few photos as proof.

Despite having thousands of orders they incredibly most of the time manage to deliver their food in the exact time stipulated by the app, at peak times and needed more Staff. To be able to maintain this level of excellence, BEST PASTE IN Chicago without a doubt.

Review №55

This most recent location for the local chain is exactly what youd expect; huge portions of Italian-American comfort food done well if not amazingly.On the 3 occasions Ive been our service has been prompt and even downright bubbly! There are many features drink specials throughout the week despite the limited bar.Although I understand its a family spot, the sheer number of TVs, playing all manner of randomness, isnt my favorite while eating. Otherwise pretty good and definitely scratches an itch.

The Puttenesca was bland Flavors are aimed for the 3-7 year old pallet. Decent wine list for the parents. The least they could offer at the price point is fresh grated cheese and some decent bread. They dont.

I ordered a carry out order from the wrong location. The two ladies behind the counter were quick to make me feel comfortable about the mistake. They quickly put in the same order for me and also called the other location to cancel. What great service!! One girl was Asian and other had natural red hair. For that type of service I will definitely be stopping by again and thank you.

Review №73

Have always loved the other Pasta Bowls, but dont plan to return to this location after 2 frustrating experiences...there are too many other great options in the city.First time in, I was disappointed on how long our appetizer took to come out...but then that it was completely cold. Of course that wasnt enough to not return, but on my most recent trip our server never even brought out our appetizer and then was actually very rude when we politely asked about it. Everyone can forget, so that was not the most frustrating part. She offered no apology and took no responsibility, acting as if we completely lied about ever ordering it.

I was excited to try an Italian place in our neighborhood but it was worse than Olive garden I will say its very very very child friendly the night we came in for a kid free date night there was about 10 kids running around while the moms enjoyed some wine and conversation after what Im assuming was a sports game at Welles. So if your looking for a child friendly space with child friendly food this is a good spot....not so much for a date night.
