I was not sure what to expect as I’m used to homemade Italian food back in Montreal but I was quite impressed with what my partner and I ordered. I ordered ziti al pomodoro and he ordered chicken parmigiana. Both were quite good. However, what made the experience even better was the EXCEPTIONAL and WARM service provided by Suzanna. They were very hardworking and approachable. We got the honour of talking to them after the meal, and I can say with certainty that we will be returning when I’m back in town when Susanna is working! Thank you so much for making us feel welcomed. We also shared a cannoli and tiramisu. With this, some feedback is below: - I would make the filling for the cannoli less sweet as it is too indulgent. Also, the chocolate sirop is not needed. - For the tiramisu, I would consider adding mascarpone to the cream instead of whip cream to make it slightly more authentic and creamier Overall, a pleasant experience ! ——————————————— update: My hub and I returned to Pastafina for a late dinner tonight, on August 25th, 2024. We were kindly greeted by the hosts. Once we got to our seats, we were graciously served by Hannah. She was helpful and pleasant to be around. We first started off with an appetizer of calamari. Although the breading was delicious, it was quite chewy (either the fish was not as fresh or was over-fried). The bread was fresh, moist, steaming hot, and we enjoyed the seasoning. As entrées, I ordered a ziti pasta with "pink" sauce (alla rosé, in italian). My spouse ordered pasta with snapper and shrimp. We genuinely enjoyed the dishes, and shared them. The snapper was fresh, not too fishy, and tasty. My pasta was creamy and delicious 🔥 Always clean the sauce on your plate with bread, which is called "scarpetta" in Italian. I initially did not enjoy my side salad, so the lovely Hannah brought me a few different salad dressings which helped! Loved that initiative🫶 Some improvements to the salad could be to add some dried oregano, and freshly chopped basil🍃 Thank you, Hannah, for the lovely experience! We appreciated the kind & hand-written message⭐️

The food was good but sorry to say, the service was very bad! I am not sure what was wrong with the server, he was totally inattentive, so forgetful and unapologetic! I hate to give bad reviews but this restaurant warranted it. The receptionist was good. We had a dog so they were accommodating and gave us a place to sit outdoors. The server took his time but came w/o any silverware. Took our drink & appetizer orders. Our drinks arrived and he still didn’t give our silverware or bread for the table. Then the appetizers arrived and that server who was experienced, went to get our silverware and small plates. She even commented that he was supposed to have given us. Anyway, he took our entree orders. We had ordered Eggplant Parmigiana among other things. The food arrived along with bread which was supposed to arrive earlier. Then, he brought another tray of bread. No complaints there! Our food arrived, we had ordered a lot of food since we were planning to take some to-go. My husband thought he got the Eggplant parmigiana and we all thought it looked s bit weird and hard. He takes s bite and realized that they had served Chicken Parmesan instead. The server comes back and we tell him that it was the wrong order. He doesn’t react and says ‘Oops, hope it was ok’?!? WTH! Meanwhile, we had ordered some Chicken for the Dog which took forever and the server had to reminded several times. The server came out with our bill already! He didn’t ask us wether if we want dessert or anything else! We asked him for the dessert menu but it never came! Then a lady, who looked like the manager, comes to give us a smaller size of Chicken Alfredo in a to-go for the Dog. We tell her for the mix up of Chicken instead of Eggplant. She goes saying she will check on it comes right back outside saying there aren’t going charge it only as Eggplant and not Chicken since that expensive, again no apologies! We actually wanted order dessert inspite of the server giving us the bill already but after that interaction, we said to hell with it. Even though, we had a bad service, we tipped good just because no other customer is going to be as forgiving as us and that server will need it coz he isn’t going to last much longer if he continues the way he is!

This, by far, has been our best dining experience in Granbury. If you’re in town, the food here is lacking. But Pastafina is the exception. Our waitress, Angela, was so attentive, friendly, and kind. Our drinks were never empty and that breadbasket was always full. We absolutely loved the atmosphere. The lighting was soft and low, our booth seat was comfy, the table large enough for our shared meals, and the music was nice and at the perfect volume. The food was really great! We first had the garlic bread knots (we ordered marinara for dipping) and our party of 5 probably ate 4 baskets full. They were so tasty! I had the lasagna. If my mom’s is a 10, I give it an 7 (which is a great score! My mom’s is bomb. I’d give something like Olive Garden a 4). And even better the second day! Another in my party had the chicken Alfredo pizza and it was so tasty and perfect! She gave it a 10. My husband and kids shared a regular cheese pizza and it was very tasty! They gave it an 8. Overall, especially compared to other restaurants in town, it’s a great experience. We loved it and will certainly be back.

The atmosphere looks to be inviting, but the tables and chairs are waaaaay to close together. We were seated in the middle of the area, next to a fake, see-through, fireplace, which was ok since no one was behind us. The menu choices are pretty basic, with nothing outstanding or special. The Hostess and waitress were cordial and prompt. Then the food came. It looked ok, and just tasted ok, as though it was out-of-a-can ravioli. The sauces on all of our dishes was the same, flavor, consistency, portion, etc. No one flavor stood out from the canned tomato taste of the sauce. Nothing seemed freshly made, but conjured up a mental picture of many boiling pots with different ingredients, from which the dishes were put together. The prices were too high for the fast-food fare that's served. I couldn't believe how many families were bringing in little children, and paying these high prices for Pizza Hut tasting food. It may be conveniently located, but the food is average at best, and is an insult to true Italian cooking.

We came in after a full day of touring Revolver Brewery & Granbury Wine Walk. We got there before the dinner(6:15pm) rush so were seated quickly and after the long day that was very nice. Our waitress was very nice but pulled the one issue that bugs me but we will get to that later. I ordered the Pasta Rustica (grilled shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes in sherry wine sauce over linguine it was ample portion with great favors. My wife ordered the Pasta combo and after 3 bites professes she is done. The problem was we all over indulged on the fantastic garlic knots. But you have to ask for side of mixed dressing(parmesian, garlic in oil) it is phenomenal as dipping sauce for the knots. Now as i said early our waitress did a great job EXCEPT at the end she just brought our check and did not ask about desert. Granted I was full but it was early and we all knew we would want some tiramisu or chocolate cake later. So next time just ask..we could say YES!

This place was recommended by a local person. We were told the ribeye was excellent. At an Italian restaurant? My wife and I did go and both of us ordered the ribeye. I had the vegetable medley with mine and my wife had garlic pasta with hers. The steaks filled our plates and at first thought they may have looked a little thin. That judgement was wrong. We both thought it was the best steak we had had at a restaurant in forever. Neither of us could eat all of our steak so doggie bag we go. Warmed up the next day it was still excellent. Our waitress recommended the vegetable medley and I'm so happy she did. They to me are usually too hard or too soft. These were seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly. Our experience was excellent and we will go back when we are in the area. Also very reasonably priced which is unusual these days.
