The Pasta Factory, Columbia MO

The staff members were all really friendly. The pasta dishes really didn’t have a lot going for them- the vegetables were mainly nonexistent in mine - except for the pesto, which was spot on.

Salmon with side of Alfredo was a solid 5: robust flavor, moist, and good portion. The bad: the pasta primavera was watery, lacked seasoning, and seemed like something they would serve at a cheap casino buffet. The biggest concern was the lack of information. I asked what kind of salmon it was and she said that she didn’t know, but it was good. I asked if the pasta primavera had nutmeg in it as a seasoning, I told her that I had a nutmeg allergy, and she said that she didn’t know. Now you would think that you might want to ask the cook and let the customer know. Possibly, not giving out information about the food ingredients or types of salmon served is company policy. Anyway, I’ll probably go back, but i’ll avoid the primavera.

Service was great, Pesto had slightly extra oil than needed, but everything else was great

Best Italian food I've had since my own family had our Italian restaurant. Best Italian food I've had in a decade. Will be bringing my family back and stopping every time I am in Columbia. Highly recommend! Great service.

I really hate leaving bad reviews but I have to take this one seriously. We don't live in Columbia and dined here on our way home in a Sunday night. The food my husband and I was fine at the restaurant. My son ate some of his plus a side of meatballs that had been ordered on the side. An hour into the drive he stated his stomach hurt and he continued to complain through to bedtime. He ended up sicker than I've ever seen him. He got food poisoning from the meatballs. It was the only thing all day that only he ate. Definitely not a virus because we would have gotten it to considering the extremely close contact, if you get my drift.

Additionally, my husband has celiac disease and his "gluten free" meal caused a reaction for him. Stay far, far away.

Great place to eat get people.
1st time there and we loved it.
Wait wasn't too bad for a Saturday night either.

Service was great. Very attentive. I didn't dine in but I was treated nicely and offered suggestions on what to order. They looked busy yet they treated everyone with a smile. Food was good. Big portions. The fried mozzarella was bigger than I thought and the meals are way more than I can eat. No too expensive, definitely worth the money.

Olive garden who? This is the best Italian food I've ever put in my mouth! My taste buds were doing flips over how good it was! I got an Italian seafood pasta dish and words just don't do any justice. It's priced right and the waitress we had was so attentive to our needs. We didn't feel rushed at all. The booths were spacious with coat hooks on the end! A great place for a date!

Gorgeous atmosphere, friendly and fast service, amazing food! We are convinced that we’ve found the best Italian food in Missouri.

Had Jessica for our server and she was phenomenal. Not overbearing but never had to wait either. The salmon was cooked to perfection! Best I've had in town!

Listen! This is a hiding jewel in Roswell (North Atlanta) … If you are ever in the mood for some good pasta—this is the place to go. Everything is prepared in house including the pasta. You will not regret this recommendation.

Really great pasta place. Went with a large party and the only complaint was about too much sauce on the Alfredo. Had really great bread and side salads!

I had linguini tutto mare with a white garlic sauce. It was excellent. And a glass of chianti. The bread was also good, but the olive oil seemed a little old, slight rancid odor.

Amy is our favorite! She's friendly, knows exactly what we want. Very knowledgeable about choices. Very clean restaurant. Pays close attention to refills. She makes us feel like we've been friends forever. Will definitely be back here often. P. S.our daughter had a blind date here and Amy watched closely to make sure things went right and we're on the up and up. Very considerate of her to keep an eye out for concerns.

So far this is my favorite Italian place in Como. Haven't tried a single item I've disliked in my couple of visits here, I especially like that they use authentic sea food ingredients in their dishes (ie no immigration crab or the like)

My wife and I recently visited The Pasta Factory and had a wonderful dining experience! We tell all our friends to visit The Pasta Factory in Columbia MO for the best pasta in mid Missouri!

The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. Alfredo sauce is amazing. No one in my family has found something that they do not like. If you come on Friday or Saturday get there early because it gets packed quick.

Good meal, good service, straight forward menu with dishes that they were willing to meet dietary accommodations with. Weird location but beautiful ceiling+interesting fans lol

Tasty, if not consistent seasoning, generous portions. Pick up was clunky, I wasn't greeted and there was no signage for Togo, so I wandered till I found a bag near the bar with my name on it. (Not a major negative as they were very busy! Only mention it so you don't have to wander.) Overall I was pleased with the experience.

Went this past weekend with my wife for a nice night out after all the snow, appetizer portions were large and dinner was good. Service was exceptional, took good care of us all throughout our meal making sure we had everything we needed and didn't interrupt us when we were busy talking together. We will be back!
