Just had the tastiest breaded chicken rapini sandwich for lunch at Pasta Fresca! Absolutely delicious! Chicken was so tender and juicy and rapini fresh. Got to check this place out…. You will thank me!

I regularly buy meatballs once a week . Always good . And I usually pick up some fresh bread to go with them . Today bread was stale and I opened it right away , went out as bird feed . Also I found the girl that served me kinda rude . She intentionally took customer before me when I was waiting there with items first . Even the girl being served looked confused .

I normally don't leave a review unless I eat there. But this needs to be said. Regardless of the food (which I haven't had yet) these people and there generosity doesn't go unnoticed. I saw a Facebook post and couldn't be more happier to have this establishment part of our community. See you see pasta Fresca.

I ordered 2 subs through SkiptheDishes and only received 1. When I called the establishment to let them know and try to get a solution the lady I talked to was rude and defensive. She did not even apologize and kept insisting that they only got an order for 1 sub, not 2 even though on my end it showed I paid for 2. She told us to come get the missing one for free so we had to drive across town to get it. Of course she was no where to be found in there, probably hiding in the back because she knew we were coming. The man was very nice there and was willing to show me their Skip order when I asked to see if they only received an order for 1 sub and there it was, clear as day, 2 subs. The man apologized and reassured us it was her fault. I wouldn’t of been upset if she was truthful and apologetic, I understand stuff happens. But the fact that she was nasty on the phone and repeatedly lied is so unprofessional and rude. Plus they still got the sub order wrong after we told them exactly what was supposed to be on it. Boycotting this place for sureeeee

Thank you Anthony and team at Pasta Fresca. Ordered 12 trays of pizza for a fundraising event. Pizza was delivered hot and fresh and on time. The guests loved the quality ingredients and fresh home made taste. Great local food at affordable prices!

$4.80 for a paper thin, no structure single slice of cup and char. Price isn't listed anywhere just the regular $3 a slice for pepperoni, quite surprised when I went up to the cash. Slice wasn't even warm. Disappointed to say the least. Gave the food another try and so did my friend, both of us been sick since.. would not recommend this establishment.

I have visited a few times and the atmosphere is very stale, the food presented looks decent. I ordered cheese shells and expected great quality compared to my family home made ones. The shells I got I paid 4$ a piece and they were broken, unseasoned and lacking salt. I won t be going back, especially for the price. I ve made these shells myself many times and I wouldn t even serve my family broken shells

Good fresh pasta dishes, everything is very well made and tasty. Some of the items are priced quite high. Im not an expert on handmade italian pasta and such, whether there is a lot of manual labor put into the making of it. It seemed like restaurant prices on items that are designed for reheating or cooking at home. However, everything that is sold here is very genuine and tasty. I recommend this and a handful of other bakeries when friends ask me for reccomendations. Vegetarian options: Lots of meat-free pastas and salads for vegetarians. Parking: About 8 parking spots in front of the store front as well as plenty of space in the surrounding plaza. Wheelchair accessibility: The sidewalk for the store front has cut corners for wheelchair accessibility. The entire store is flat at ground level.

Have been going here for years, ownership and establishment changed recently and everything has just gone down hill. Veal, pasta, etc all portions decreasing in size by the week, will not give you cutlery or napkins for pasta etc unless specified (why does that need to be said?). Okay food that is overpriced. 100% would recommend La Farina or Roman Cheese.

Went in to the store around 12:45pm on my lunch break today to grab lunch. Waited 3/4 mins in line because the cashier(older female, short, greyish hair) was casually chatting with a customer after he was already done While waiting for the employee to be done taking, I looked around to grab something for dinner. I found a small tray of cheese raviolis, I asked her how much it was and her reply was $22 so I grabbed that & a half piece of garlic bread that she said was $4 something, I also grabbed a pre made/ pre wrapped sandwich. my total came to $34.45 . Walked back to work & felt like I was over charged, so I went on their website to check prices and realized she over charged me. Small tray of cheese ravioli is $16.99 on their website & the half garlic bread is $4.00. When I pulled the garlic bread from the bag it was in rough shape, it was ripped in half, had stuff all over the back of it. So I got my co worker to go back to return it because I was upset that I got ripped off & the garlic bread looked awful. My co worker went to return it & it wasn t the lady that originally cashed me out and she was quite rude & said they couldn t help that things are expensive - when they are the ones that over charged me by $5 on 1 item. They only gave me my co worker $20 back, which doesn t even add up at all when I paid $22 for raviolis plus $4 something for the garlic bread so I ended up giving them free money (about $8/$9) but something isn t adding up with the original lady that cashed me out. Super upset, myself and all my co workers (about 20 of us) go there quite often for lunches and now none of us want to go there after what happened today.

Went to grab some lunch , great lasagna. Bought a tray to take home and some meatballs. A server Jenny served me , she was pleasant and helpful . Great place. . Still great but prices have gone up so much. I paid 18 dollars for a piece of lasagna and 2 very small meatballs and the lasagna was so small I was still hungry, I m a senior. Found a new place with bigger serving for 14 dollars. Hate to change but price too high

December 22, 2022

Can you believe a italian eatery that has the worst eggplant parm (more like eggplant mess) that I have ever had? Its true and to put it over the top very expensive.

December 22, 2022

Been going here at least once a week despite mediocre food and relatively slow service. Better than fast food is all I can say about the food. My recent visit was head scratching. I walked in and a guy in front of me order 2 pieces of pizza and sat down to eat it. I was the only other one in the place. I ordered 2 pieces of pizza and 2 sausage rolls and a veal parm on a bun. Was told that they had no panini buns and accepted a sub bun alternative. I paid the girl and stood there for over 10 minutes. I saw 4 different staff members and no signs of anyone making my sandwich. The veal was sitting in the display case already cooked. The sandwich should have taken 2 minutes to prepare. Several more minutes had passed and still no sandwich. I literally had to leave and asked the girl how it could take 15 minutes to make a sandwich? I grabbed my pizza and rolls and walked out without my sandwich. No wonder this place doesnt do well. How can you possibly get any business from the high school, when you cant slap a piece of pre made veal on a bun in under 15 minutes when there was no one else in the place? Will never go back!

December 22, 2022

Male is the kitchen (not sure if it was kitchen staff or owner) was extremely unprofessional.. swearing and banging stuff in the kitchen because of our order. And clearly wanted us to hear. Prices are outrageous and portions are small. Clearly they don t want to work nor want the business. Last visit here.

Stayed in Niagar for 9 nights and stumbled on this little gem. Great hot table. We went close to closing time and they had no gnocchi in the hot table. I asked the gentleman serving us if he had anymore. He was kind enough to go to the back and prepare a serving just for me. Food was delicious. Will be back when visiting Niagara again.

I went to Pasta Fresca today, first time after the Pandemic. I ordered a veal parm sandwich and the lady who was making the sandwich was doing cash and without washing her hands started making the sandwich. During that time she was on her cell phone couple of times. After watching how unsanitary this place was I requested to cancel my order. I was definitely not going eat some thing from this place. The owner was annoyed that I was canceling the order. I told him that she didn t wash her hands and was using her cell phone. Instead of apologizing he immediately said when was the last time you came here. Well haven t been there over a year. He said to me that I don t want your business and you have done this before. Like I said I haven t been there over a year and I never canceled or complained about anything before. I don t usually don t bother to write reviews either. I am appalled by his rude behaviour and instead of getting my money back, I told him to keep the money and walked away. If you care about how they handle your food DO NOT GO HERE. Obviously they don t care about food handling and safety .

December 22, 2020

I went there and ordered a panini and it was absolutely horrible. Not toasted, stale bread, and tasteless. Not sure how many other people have had that happened but I won t be going back there. Seems like an honest place, family owned. But bad customer service and a general feeling of carelessness and not very welcoming. I realize it was just one time but I think first impressions mean a lot in a place like that especially dealing with food.

Pasta Fresca serves and sells home made Italian food. One word sums it up. Delicious! The staff and owners are friendly. The restaurant is modern and clean. The cost of the food varies. Items such as their veal parmesan is a bit costly. But honestly; veal isnt cheap, and its sold as a prepared meal. The pizza, pasta, sausage, and baked treats I feel are competively priced.

December 22, 2019

The food was garbage and very expensive will not eat there ever again

December 22, 2019

I was in the area last Friday and ventured into this place - service was almost not existing and it was difficult to get info about menu/dishes. I did order Fettuccine Alfredo (most expensive in pasta dishes). I got a big pile of fettuccine swimming in watered down sauce and a tiny bit of parmesan (appeared to be) sprinkled on top of it. The sauce was tasteless, pasta too (definitely not boiled in salted water) and there was not even a trace of meet or veggies of any kind !! It was horrible !! They could not find salt for me (got it finally from the kitchen in a small container). I quit eating after a few bites (I was hungry !). When I said they should ashamed to treat customers this way and asked if thats the way chef and staff usually eats pasta, the waitress did not say anything... And she did not say even simple sorry for serving such a piece of garbage disguised as a dish... and charging for it. That might be a good place to buy some products, but DO NOT EAT THERE !!! Definitely would not recommend this place and I would award just a fraction of a star if that was possible.

Joe at Pasta Fresca was very helpful. He catered our wedding reception and the food was outstanding. We are from windsor ontario and being 4 hrs away everything was done over the phone and Joe took all the worry away from having to deal with the catering. Not one single complaint about the food. It showed up on time was delivered to the chafing dishes hot and there was more food then we expected. Every guest said the chicken parm was the best they have ever had. Everything from the hot food to the cold salads including dinner rolls were as fresh and tasty as if it came right out of the oven to our plates.i will and would recommend any body looking for a caterer for a small group or large party definitely give Joe at Pasta Fresca a try you will not be disappointed. Thank you Joe and the entire Pasta Fresca Family for making our wedding reception dinner delicious and stress free...... Summed up in one word OUTSTANDING!!!!
