This restaurant is a treasure! What more could you want. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was warm, sincere, and attentive. The chef came out to check on how we liked our food as did the owner. The dining experience could not be better. My wife had Penne Alla Norma. It was exquisite. I tried it and loved the blending of flavors. The cheese was dreamy. I ordered Spaghetti E Poletti O Salsiccia. I asked and was allowed to get both meatball & Italian sausage and both were exceptional. Their sausage was lean, with lovely seasonings, just the way I like it. The house salad and garlic knots were fresh and very tasty. The ambiance is warm, cozy with Andrea Bocelli singing in the background. Reservations are a must unless you don't mind a wait. I believe they have plans to move into a larger location in the near future. That will be great. bravo! We in Palm Coast are lucky to have a restaurant of this quality.
Lefty.

On Oct 29 we took our best friends from Atlanta for dinner. They have a favorite called Zola's, plus she "is" of Italian origin. They loved Pasta Pasta. Said it was better than Zola's in Atlanta. Caesar salad was outstanding (commented could taste the "real" Romano cheese). We loved the whole meal, having all different items. We are so glad to have such a "wonderful" Italian restaurant. Oh, by the way, the service was "OUTSTANDING". Andy always comes out to visit. He is so wonderful.

The service is very good and the owner really seems to care. The food was solid as was the wine. Overall, one of the better restaurants in the area. No real negatives, we'll be back for more!

On Friday evening (10/24/08) my wife and I took some friends to this restaurant for dinner. Our friends were visiting from South Florida. The husband is Italian and a critic of restaurants and the wife is an extremely excellent cook. Well, they loved this restaurant and only had praise for the dinner meal. The owners were like they always are as they visited the table a few times to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The service was outstanding as usual. I do suggest that all who plan to eat at this eatery MAKE RESERVATIONS!

We went again yesterday for the sixth or seventh time. We have eaten something different every time, except the Tony salad, which is amazing. I would be hard to pick a favorite, but if pressed I would say the Cardinale. It is now a "must go" for any guests we have. Food quality, service, prices all as good as you could ask for.
Thanks to them for coming to Palm Coast.

We went today for our 6+ trip for a late lunch. We try something different for the entree each time, but stick to the "Tony's Salad" split for a starter. Today we added the Veal Portobello, and the Chicken Marsala for the Entrees. Great, Great, Great. And if you like red wine with your entree, try the CR Fortissimo...... Great. We recommended this restaurant to everyone we know. They are great.

Thank you, Pasta Pasta for bringing such a quality Italian restaurant to Palm Coast! This little "jewel box" of a restaurant delivers grandly with fabulous food and very attentive service. We had our first experience there with friends recently based on the glowing reviews here, and now we can't wait to go back. Our meals were all delicious and priced reasonably. Go the first chance you get!

Had high expectations before I finally had dinner there and I have to say, it met and exceeded my expectations if both the food quality and the price. I would highly recommend Pasta Pasta for anyone wanting an authentic Italian meal!

Wow, what a nice addition in Palm Coast. My husband and I ate at this restaurant last evening. We selected it because of the rave reviews it has been receiving on this website. We were very pleased with the service, the environment and the quality of the food. The house dressing for the salad was worth the trip alone. The garlic rolls were freshly baked and served hot. My husband had Chicken Marsala and I had the spaghetti and meatballs. Both dishes were excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food in a cozy atmosphere. My only complaint is that although the only server was good, she was too stretched to give everyone the attention required. I had to ask for drink refills and had to get up to get a clean fork. There was an elder gentleman helping with running but he basically dropped the food and left and never asked if he needed anything else. One more server would make a tremendous difference to Pasta Pasta and give its customers the same quality of service as the quality of its food.

The food here is excellent!! The chef came out and spoke to us, which was very nice. There was only one person waiting tables and she was very busy, so we did not feel we got enough attention in this area, but the food more than made up for this.
The space is small, so if you plan on going on a Friday or Saturday night, I HIGHLY suggest you get a reservation. The location is not so great, but they are a married couple starting a business.
They are child friendly, although there is no children's menu. But, what kid doesn't like to eat pasta from Mom and Dad's plates? You get MORE than enough to share!
The desserts are simply to DIE FOR - be sure to save room!
If you are in the mood for some pasta, Pasta Pasta is a MUST!

Although I never worked in the culinary field, I did train as a chef in Europe where I learned just enough to appreciate really good food and recognize quality ingredients, so, rarely do I find a restaurant in this area that inspires me and stimulates my taste buds. We do, however, have a handful of good restaurants here and adding to that list is our newest gem, Pasta Pasta.
Pasta Pasta is located next to the old movie theater at St. Joe's Plaza, and although I'm not particularly keen on strip mall locations for restaurants, its small dining room is surprisingly pleasant and cozy. My wife and I arrived on a Sunday without a reservation but were accommodated quite quickly. Our server was friendly and professional and offered good advice on the menu's dishes. As an antipasti we ordered Calamari Fritti. The calamari was very tender and nicely dusted, but being a bit of a heat freak I'd personally would of liked a little more kick to its zesty marinara sauce, but it's flavor was still excellent and I would definitely order it again.
As entrees I ordered the Involtini Di Pollo and my wife selected the Penne Alla Norma. The Involtini Di Pollo is chicken rolled with provolone and prosciutto then cooked with mushrooms in a pink marsala cream sauce. The chicken was succulent and perfectly cooked and the sauce was wonderfully flavored and not too heavy. It's accompanying penne was nicely al dente and served with more of the pink cream sauce. My wife also thoroughly enjoyed her entree, the Penne Alla Norma, a dish made with eggplant, onions and roma tomatoes cooked with Romano, mozzarella and ricotta cheeses. It only took one bite to taste the freshness of its ingredients backed by just enough garlic and fresh basil. For desert, we split the incredible house tiramisu which was remenisant of the style of tiramisu served in many parts of Europe where the savoiardi are placed upright in the dish with the zabaglione in the center.
Pasta Pasta is a credit to the area and a much welcomed, and needed, addition to our selection of local restaurants. It's location is the only downside, but that is easily overlooked by its pleasant atmosphere, friendly and efficient service, good prices, and superb food. Eccellente!

This was my first visit to Pasta Pasta and I can honestly say it is a "must try". There musn't be a can opener in the kitchen because everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is really friendly. From bread (garlic knots) to desert (tiramisu), every mouthful was a delight. If you are going to go for dinner, make sure you call for reservations. There are only a few tables and it is difficult to get in if you don't have reservations.

My husband and I went for lunch this week. This is our second trip, because the first was Great. The meal and service was outstanding. We had Calamari (Great), their house salad/dressing is so fresh and tasty. My husband love spaghetti/meatballs, and he knew the meatballs were done with the "finely" ground meat-Great!. I had the Penne Sicilian. Wow.. the Portobello and eggplant were perfectly baked in the sauce.
You must try.

Stopped by for a mid-week for lunch and was very impressed. The restaurant inside is very small, but it's comfortable with an intimate atmosphere. We were the only customers in there so service was prompt and attentive. The menu consists of variants of most popular Italian dishes plus a selection of house specialties and chef favorites. Both of our meals were superb. The meat was incredibly tender and the flavor was excellent. Pasta was cooked perfectly and everything was seasoned just right with a good balance of sauce. You can definitely taste the difference between Pasta Pasta and other local Italian restaurants. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had dinner here on 8/6/08 with friends. This is the first visit to this establishment and the decor was found to be very quaint and beautiful. The service was excellent and then the food came. The food was outstanding, the best Italian that we have eaten. The beer and wine served was outstanding. The salad was the freshest possible. The saltiboca dish that all four of us ordered was prepared to perfection. The side order of pasta and sauce was excellent. Then we had coffee and tiramisu which was excellent, excellent, excellent. The chef/owner visited our table to be sure everything was perfect. Everyone associated with the restaurant was very cordial and made you feel at home. We even met another couple afterward who did not have enough praise for this restaurant. I rather say a dinning experience. Try it, you will not be disappointed at all.

My husband and I tried Pasta Pasta for lunch today. WOW! What a great experience. We split the Clam appetizer, a small house salad and the chicken/pesto paninni. All was so great. And the service... OUTSTANDING... We will definitely be going back. Best Italian meal in a "long" time. Chef even came out and talked to all the patrons.... just a great experience.
