Pastafina Weatherford — Restaurant in Weatherford

This place is what I would call ok. Not spectacular. I didn't like the atmosphere at all. The table layout is weird and doesn't feel any sense of privacy at your table at all. The lighting is too bright and the place is loud. There was boxing and sports on TV. Not romantic at all. No candle on tables. Wood floors. Layout just has an odd and uncomfortable feel. About the food and prices... I spent over $18.00 for one person. I ordered a meatless pasta, with side salad and water! No dessert! That's it. No meat, noodles, veggies on noodles, salad and water. For that price, I would have liked the place to be soothing, intimate, cozy, and overall calming and relaxing. But it was loud, too light, and just felt uncomfortable. The food was not as good as many Italian restaurants I've been to. The marinara was sour/tart over the top, to me. It wasn't the worst food, but didn't suit my taste. There were not many vegetables in the pasta at all, and they charged an extra $1.00 per vegetable to add them, but didn't hardly add much. The bread was very delicious. I liked it a lot. Over all, this place may be some other person's cup of tea, but my not overly large portion on pasta, a few vegetables, and sauce, was $14...something and the salad was small and watery iceberg lettuce with one tomato and not very big. The ranch dressing was the worst I've had. At other places the entrees start at these prices, or lower $$ with all you can eat salads and very nice environments. This was just not for me. I...

We came in for dinner about 2 hours before closing (we don't live in the area and it was our first visit). The staff was incredibly nice and patient with me. I went in first, leaving the other 5 in the car to preview the menu (I had seen it online, but prices were not listed). I was pleasantly surprised to see that the entrees were incredibly reasonable (under $15 a plate).

I asked for recommendations from our server, and decided to try the chicken Florentine. It was creamy and delicious!!! We also ordered a pepperoni pizza, veal parmigiana, and salmon piccata. Everything was scrumptious. We found ourselves passing the plates around the table so everyone could taste all of the food.

A word of caution: the portions are huge! Both the chicken and veal plates had a large helping of pasta and two cutlets each. Had I known the portions were such, I would have split something. No one was able to finish their meal, though we all enjoyed trying.

We had a cannoli for dessert, just to try it, and it was also divine.

I would recommend anyone try this place. They have something for everyone, and for what you get, the place is an incredible value.

Bonus: the staff all seemed to be from Italy (very thick accents and some things that were lost in translation; it only enhanced the authenticity of our experience, never becoming annoying or frustrating). Oh, and the male staff were easy on the...

Details of my visit on 12/11/19 - Walked in to the restaurant with another person and stood waiting to be greeted and seated. After several minutes of not being acknowledged by several staff members, I finally asked a waitress if we were to seat our self or was there someone available to seat us. I should have left! After being told she would be right with us, a gentleman came over and asked if we wanted a booth or a table. I said, "Booth, please". We are then seated at a half booth - half table. The tables are so close together that I felt as though I was sitting on top of the party next to us. The person with me moved to the middle of the booth and I arranged the chairs so I could sit in the middle; to give myself space from the other table. After several minutes of sitting, a gentleman came over to take our drink order {we had sat long enough to look over the menu and already knew what we wanted to order}. The gentleman brought our drinks then took our order. After the gentleman brought our food, no one checked back in with us on how the food was, if we needed more to drink, etc. A lady stopped by to see if we were done with our meal and asked to take our plates, then handed us our check. I had been to this location a couple of times many, many years ago and now remember why I hadn't returned. The service was bad, the staff was rude and the food was over priced,...
