Outstanding!!! Every dish was amazing. I can honestly say if I only had the appetizer and garlic knots that would be enough to go back again and again. The fact that the food is outstanding and definitely made with love really does make this place somewhere to frequent. The service was attentive and professional, the atmosphere was perfect, especially with the random Frank Sinatra song coming on. Great place for a date, to bring the family, or to drop in and yourself. This is a must try for anyone looking for some very delicious food.

Food was exceptional but the service was delightful. Hadn’t been here in such a long time but reminded me on how delicious it really was.. they relocated to Nolana from Trenton Road. The environment was very peaceful and relaxing for a one person lunch. Enjoyed coming back after years of not being here.

Holy cow this place is awesome!!! I ordered a caprese salad, calamari, and shrimp scampi. I didn’t get a chance to take a pic of the pasta because it was gone before I realized I had forgotten I also tried the clam chowder. Best flavors and textures I’ve ever tried Food was so fresh Service was a little slow but the best things in life are worth waiting for So worth it. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try

The food was amazing, Blackened Redsnaper with capers,sundried tomatoes, and wine sauce. Chicken Marsala in a creamy wine sauce with portobello mushrooms and pizza with salad. So good.

Excellent service and food. I’m pretty much going to marry the pepperoni rolls in my next life! The pasta I ordered had an unexpected ingredient, so they switched it up with a basic pesto. Everything is made fresh to order. Huge pizzas if you have an event. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back.

This was a great meal, I will definitely be coming back :) I had never been to Malfitany Pasta Company, but my friend invited me for my birthday so we went. It was a Friday at about 6 pm, not too busy but not crowded either. It’s divided into like a bar and sit down area. Bar was not too loud at all at this time. For the appetizer we got the spinach artichoke dip. It was delicious, came out hot and timely. Very tasty. I also added the tomato soup to my meal which was delicious. Also warm and timely served. I like the small portion because I get full fast so portion was great. Our food arrived fast and hot. The serving might look small but it is very filling. I could not finish all of mine. The chicken was really good, breaded correctly, not too salty. The sauce was flavorful and the pasta was yummy. Cooked correctly. Hate when pasta is overcooked, not the case here. I wish I had room for dessert but I was so full. Prices are great and a really good vibe for a restaurant. Shoutout Des, great sever. I’m a person that asks a lot of questions and she was more than welcome to answer. Huge recommend for a good sit down meal.

A True Gem for Italian Food Lovers! The Pasta Co. exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed—the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. It’s perfect for large families or group gatherings, with plenty of space and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about the guest experience, which made our evening even more enjoyable. Now let’s talk food—absolutely delicious! Every pasta dish was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The appetizers were just as impressive, offering a great start to the meal and showcasing authentic Italian flavors done right. We had a reservation, and the seating was prompt and well-organized, which we really appreciated. It’s clear The Pasta Co. knows how to handle both small and large parties efficiently without sacrificing service or quality. If you're looking for a memorable Italian dining experience, whether it’s a date night or a big family dinner, The Pasta Co. is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Greetings and salutations..let me start by saying I am truly blown away by this place. Today I decided to try something new and OH boy I'm so glad I did. From the minute you walk in this place to the time you leave and are all done eating you are transported to another place and time. The music and the atmosphere, perfect. I love listening to Frank Sinatra while eating real Italian food. My family and I were immediately greeted by Christy and Ashley and made to feel at home with smiles and friendly faces. Thank you for that and as for the food Holy Moly....wow. We went during lunchtime and the food was superb but really well priced. We ordered a bunch of dishes and all were equally good. Mine was lasagna and I cleaned my bowl kids loved the pizza and my wife her shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and spinach artichoke dip. The garlic bread knots, pizza, and salads were top notch as well. Let me also say the ingredients were so fresh and that marinara sauce scrumptious thank you all for an amazing time and we will most definitely be back again. This is now my number 1 spot .. God bless everyone and ty again.
