Lotsa Pasta & That'za Pizza — Restaurant in Cortez

My husband and I visit almost monthly and every time we came into town. We wanted to try this spot but the forces of nature (kids, closed, or on a time crunch) we had not. Until this trip. Parking is tight they have alot of customers and not enough parking. Love the feel of the inside and not what I expected based on the outside. Loved the theme. Rustic. Music was Johnny cash on pandora which we loved. Nkt to loud either. Wait time to be seated was about 2-3 minutes. It took about 5-10 minutes before our server made it to us and another 10-15 or so minutes to get our waters. The menu has a wide mix of options from pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salad bar, and other varieties of deliciousness. I had a hard time deciding on 4 things if I excluded the pizza. Our waitress was friendly. I told her that I narrowed it down to 2 option which were both on the kids meal. She said heck ya so I ordered the kids 5 cheese mac n cheese and the alfredo with a salad. Hubby got the calzone I think Vince and a beer on tap ska something. She said she would grab some bread, beer, and put in the order. The place started to clear out 820pm ish. It took another 15- 20 to get salad plate and beer. She was busy with assisting her friends and or family who were eating there. Hubby love the beer ordered 2 or 3. The salad bar options.... Wow and great quality. All fresh. I topped mine with hard boiled egg (perfectly, diced ham, broccoli, cheese, bacon, croutons and ranch).The cart was difficult to reach across to get the further items. Wish I could have pulled it out a little to reach. But so good. Our main meal came about 20 minutes after. Hubby said best calzone. Plenty of fresh ingredients. Great mix of flavor. Red sauce was delicious. The Alfredo. Just wow Olive garden has nothing on it. The sauce had a lil tang with set it apart from all the other I have tasted. They make it with just the right amount of it too. Can't wait to order a normal portion. My 5 cheese mac was pretty good. Added some salt and pepper made a difference. Nice and creamy. I had a hard time finishing it. I was so full. Left around 930ish?.. The price was affordable. Not to low and not over priced. Overall it was worth the long waiting times. We will have to come back. Do hope it...

My husband and I went there this evening and 63.00 later had one of the worst meal of my life. PLEASE DO DONT ORDER THE KRAB FIILED MUSHROOMS FLOATING IN A GREY WATERY WINE SAUCE. The Thai Noodles were over cooked and pasty and smothered In sesame and olive oil it was unateable. Thank God I ordered some shrimp on top as that is all I ate along with some overly dried out bread. I expressed my concerns to our lovely waitress who by the way was the best part of this experience attentive and on point and by the way got the star rated stats solely. She then alerted the NEW owner who graciously came over to the table. As I am a food critic I suggested some ways to improve her recipes and presentation she seemed receptive but she did not ask if there was anything else she could bring me or compensate me for the Thai dish I couldn't eat. Sorry but bad management and if your going to reopen with a soft menu everything should be on point and delicious to bring people back too your establishment or get ready for those...

Went here after kids baseball game on Saturday 5/18/2019. Apparently recently opened in this new location accross from City Market.... VERY DISAPPOINTING! Their name is Lots a pasta and PIZZA;... no pizza, not ready to serve Pizza’s yet...what beers do you have ? Waitress :” I’ don’t know, why don’t you go to the bar and look” , sorry no Steaks either... O K we’ll all ( 8 of us) order Pasta..20 Minutes later, Waitress: Sorry we ran out of shrimp for the shrimp scampi pasta( 3 of our 8 orders)....ordered the Lasagna...45 MORE Minutes later, still no food !! ; that’s an HOUR and 5 minutes and still no food. This owner clearly opened before the place was ready, not a wise decision, IMO. NOT a great way to start a resturant in a new location... Many people were complaining about the LONG WAIT for the food, not good...We paid for our drinks, cancelled our 8 orders & tipped the waitress and left. REALLY a terrible experience. We will try them again, but not soon...the owners really need’s to really get their...
