Very good food. I enjoyed the Linguini Frutti Di Mare and my wife had the Penne Alla Vodka. They make their own bread and its delicious-it comes with every meal.
Couldn't eat outside on the covered porch due to the summer heat but we will try it next visit.

Great food, good price. The atmosphere was good but the service was not that great. We sat without a drink refill for 15 mins. The food was well worth it though.

Didn't live up to my expectations

Average Rating

Based on all the reviews I read, I expected an upscale Italian restaurant with great food. Instead, I was greeted in the parking lot by a woman dressed in a fat lady ballerina suit. The indoor decor was much like a cafeteria with a bar. Service was attentive, but my meal and conversation were interrupted numerous times by that same...

Everytime we have gone here the food has been excellent. We tried this restaurant before the name and ownership change (LA CASA DELLA PASTA) - the food back them was horrible and the service even worse. I can say without a doubt that the Pasta Bowl will now become a family regular! We love the food, the kids love the...

We made our second visit to the PB yesterday for supper. Excellent again. The vegetable of the day - fried spinach - needs to be a regular menu item. My husband ordered the Baked Mostacholi - he said it was delicious and the portion size was so generous that for the first time ever, he had to ask for a box to bring home the half he couldn't finish.

Ok best lasagna ever had! We just went again tonight and we where there 2 days ago,try the cake really good also!

I think The Pasta Bowl has been open about 5 months, and is unfortunately in a Pembroke location that has a bit of a checkered past. Not a bad neighborhood --- just a number of poor to average restaurants that have preceeded it at this spot. Having said that, we found the new place to be nicely rejuvinated inside, with...

This place was recommended to us by a friend who also loves Italian food. Location is not bad, great parking; just hard to find unless you really are looking for it. Note: if coming from Virginia Beach Blvd to Independence to S. Indepennce it is in the strip mall just beyond the Jiffy Lube (at the far end from Jiffy...

You don't go here for the ambiance, you go for the food and to be treated like family. The Eggplant Parmesan was addicting. I didn't intend to eat the entire generous platter, but couldn't stop myself. Crispy and delicious. My husband's Osso Bucco was very flavorful served on farfalle pasta. The owner/chef makes the rounds to make sure everything is...

Good atmosphere and outstanding food by a chef who is onsite preparing the food as ordered. I had the lobster ravioli in cream sauce and it was great!. Also roasted brussel sprouts I ate with a spoon to get all the wonderful sauce. Even if you're not a brussel sprouts lover, you will like this. All the staff were friendly...

The first time we went to The Pasta Bowl it was because we had a cupon and had seen thar the former Silvermans/many other restaurants was under new managment. What we found was a joy. While the ambiance is a little thin and the menu spartan, the service was fast and friendly but the kicker was the food!! James, the...

My husband and I went for lunch a few days ago. It was our first time there. They had a good lunch menu: $7 for your main dish (4 options), Parmesan topped bread, and choice of soup or salad. You could also order from the menu they had out for that day. Keep in mind, the lunch portion is small...

Really Disappointed

When we moved here, I was excited when I saw the restaurant. We ended up eating there 4 times. Of the 4, the first visit was the best, which means that it had the fewest things go wrong. We have received completely incorrect entrees, entrees that are prepared differently at different times, food that is burned, overcooked, or undercooked. All in all, I don't see a case where I would return to...

Great Home Cooked Italian

I have eaten here a few times and found the experience to be pleasing each time. It is a small, family owned operation which is evident by the decor, but luckily carries over to the wonderfully prepared meals and desserts. A little more expensive than I would like, but worth the extra $ for less wait time that the typical chains.

When up in Va Bch visiting friends we normally come here at least once. They make and serve good pizza. My favorite appetizer is their calamari - now they know how to fix it right! Service is good and normally the owner is there to greet customers.

This place is hot or cold. I love the food because it is authentic Italian, but the service is soooo slow and sometimes rude. It seems like to staff turnover is high, which might be the service problem.

My wife and I went here to try a new restaurant. We were unhappy with almost everything here. The food was served cold and the service was poor. They had two waitresses serving about 10 tables yet, the waitresses would always disappear in the back for minutes at a time. We waited forever to get our bill and we were shocked at the price of everything. The quality of the food did not match the...

Somewhat overpriced, poor atmosphere. Food is nothing extravagant. Some unique desserts. Does in a pinch - but you would do better driving a little further in any direction. hard to get in and out from any one direction. Ala Carte. Not very authentic. Food appears frozen rather than fresh and made for the day/menu. Saw a delivery truck unloading. Many differnet frozen "entrees" idenitified.They...

We have dined at La Casa Della Pasta on several occasions. The quality of the food is very good, but the service can be slow. The owners do a good job of making the customer feel welcome and also accomodate wheel chair patrons. I recommend the restaurant.

Good but not great

While we enjoyed our dinner, we found the food good, but the prices were a little high for the value of the food. It has a nice atmosphere and a real neighborhood feel to it. Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen and another visit is in order. There was a nice selection of items in the bakery counter and dessert was very good. The friendly staff made up for the food's shortcomings.

The food was bad, the service even worse. We recently moved to VA Beach and were looking forward to having some homemade pasta. When we arrived here on a Friday night at 7 pm there were only three tables occupied. We soon found out why. The Caesar salad was torn romaine lettuce with canned parmesan (no dressing). The pasta was NOT homemade and the sauce tasted like it came from a can. Drinks...

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. A definite and unexpected surprise- the food was absolutely delicious and authentic! The service was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable about each of their entrees. As another reviewer mentioned, the bread was great; crusty on the outside, soft on the inside. We even drizzled some olive oil over it for a wonderful taste. The Calamari was...

For a family owned restraunt I would expect better. The food was equal to Olive Garden in taste and in price. I have ate at this restraunt twice now and both times the service was horrible. The first time I thought I would give them a second chance after the horrible service, but the second time was even worse. I do not understand how this is because I saw at least 3 employees working the floor...

Can't wait to go again! An inconspicuous restaurant with much to deliver to its customers. I was very pleased. The service was easy-going and relaxed, a great way to spend a late afternoon (outside on the patio).
