Pasta Faire

Shaun, Catering Manager, took awesome care of us!
Our friends and neighbors, come here every single Friday!
They just cannot say enough good things about this place!!
Now I see why.

Of course we were invited down to the Ocala/Bellview area for Thanksgiving. And they wanted to do a special meal at Pasta Faire, they made reservations (I would recommend reservations anytime you eat there as it is usually pretty busy) We sat down they brought us out the bread, with the oil its amazing, old school Italian right there... We all opted for their Thanksgiving day menu items versus Italian, we have eaten here in the past, it has been a long time, but it is very good. Our meal was good, and the service was excellent, even the owner was running around during the time we were there. Unique spot to eat we will be going back so i will add some other photos down the road

Realized i posted to my other google account that i dont do reviews on so now doing it here tooo on the correct account.

Pasta Faire is 🙌hands-down the best Italian restaurant in Belleview. The 5 garlic knot appetizer is the best garlic bread anywhere, the side salads are sized just right but should be presented on a slightly larger plate. I prefer Italian dressing especially when in an Italian restaurant. Pasta Faire’s Italian dressing does not disappoint. It is flavorful without being too tangy. The grouper picatta was absolutely wonderful down to the last bite, capers lemon sauce and all. The desserts are old world flavored, textured and presented with panache. Ditto for the perfectly crusted cheesecake. The desserts can be seen in the front display case once you pass thru the front entrance, behind the hostess podium. One more detail: the average price hovers at $35 pp before wine. Our order for 2 came to $80 including t&t.

We went here for the first time on December 10,2023 to celebrate my parents 30th wedding anniversary. Since then it has become our go to place even though it take an hour or more to get there. We have some picky eaters and they even love this place. The homemade bread, food and service is fabulous. We tell everyone we can about it! Highly recommend!!! :)

Where can I start! This restaurant is absolutely awesome. The nice young gentleman with a smile greeted me at the door. I couldn't follow him to be seated because of the showcase of cakes. They look amazing! I was told one the cooks ( Shaun Ray) makes them. There menu is very affordable. They have daily specials . Monday is AUCA Rotisserie Chicken for $9.99. I ordered the special. It was delicious the chicken was cooked to perfection. The green beans and broccoli was good too. My waitress was very attentive and polite. If you want a cocktail with your meal it won't break the bank either. I saw several selections for $7.00. The atmosphere was pleasant very inviting. If you ever in the Bellview area please stop by you won't be disappointed. I'm hooked on first visit.

So we stopped in on a whim. What a great experience. The help was amazing, the food was fantastic and the prices were incredible. The pizza was the best I've had since we moved from Boston six years ago. The pasta is out of this world and the dessert , oh the dessert....chocolate cake, Italian wedding cake canollis oh my. Just tried the garlic knots, and they are scrumptious. Fresh baked rosemary bread just brings it all together. Will be coming back here frequently and not just for the daily specials.

First time ever eating here and I’ve got to say holymoly the chicken was off the hook good 10/10 for sure and thank you Kirsten for being my server. Excellent service and recommendations of the menu. I’ll definitely be back again soon!!!!! Keep up that good quality food!

Best pasta dinner EVER!!!! Def eat here!! Thank you Valerie for the best service!!!! Super fine dining at a reasonable price!! The dessert is made in house and soooo delicious!! 10/10 recommend, we will come back often

Pizza and chicken Parm were delicious! Their homemade bread was fabulous! Will definitely return.

Delicious food, good drinks, friendly & fast service, large portions and great prices along with nice ambiance, what more could you ask for! Only disappointment was we were too full for dessert, we should have taken it to go, as they all looked amazing too! Next time!

Food was amazing. We did the two can dine for 27.00. We will be back

Came here for lunch today with some coworkers. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was very clean and well-lighted. Our server was prompt and courteous. I ordered a Caesar Salad with rotisserie chicken. The taste was great. The dressing on the salad and perfectly tangy. The chicken was delicious and melted in my mouth. Very satisfied with our lunch, and I plan to return!

Coming from an Italian background I'm telling you the food was spot on. Seasoned well good portions and good service although busy. The menu had a lot and next time we are going to try the pizza which looked great. Wonderful atmosphere very Italian

Visited Pasta Faire this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. To start off, we had the pick your own sampler appetizer, with this you choose 3 items. We picked the hot honey garlic hot wings, tomato bruschetta and mozzarella sticks which was amazing. The bruschetta was crispy and piled up with fresh tomatoes, it was delicious. The table also got a free loaf of rosemary bread and oil. My wife decided on the blackened shrimp alfredo, it came with a side of soup, she had chosen chicken artichoke tortellini soup. The blackened shrimp alfredo was linguine noodles, 10 shrimp and diced tomatoes in a Cajun Alfredo sauce. I did the all you can eat rotisserie chicken deal they have on Mondays. You get 2 peices of rotisserie chicken and 2 sides. The white meat chicken and spaghetti was amazing. I didn't care for the dark meat or roasted potatoes. For the potatos to be roasted, it didn't have a roasted flavor and tasted bland but the chicken and spaghetti was seasoned well. Next time, I will choose a different side, maybe the rice or mashed potatoes to see if it pairs better. Between the amazing service and the how good the food is, I can see why this place has such high reviews and tons of regulars. The server was very attentive and very kind. Will definitely come back.

Fabulous. Absolutely will go back. Brandon, I think is his name the GM seated me. When I walked in and said "feed me!" He said "my kind of girl!" Friday night at 8:00 and restaurant still looked great and smells better I ordered linguine in white clam sauce for an app. Perfectly cooked pasta. Main course was a daily special pork loin stuffed with awesome, garlic mashed and perfectly cooked broccoli. I ordered 2 entrees to taste a few things and for leftovers. Chocolate cake for dessert and next day snacks was good but not melt in your mouth OMG awesome. Highly recommend this great restaurant.

Consistently great restaurant with affordable prices and great weekday specials. Everything I have had is good, both pizza and pasta, and always extraordinary service. I especially like their eggplant rollatini but special shout out to our server today for recommending the Pesce Fresco with a bit of added heat—it was amazing. If you’re looking for a family restaurant in Belleview, absolutely stop here!

Great food , great atmosphere. They were verrrrrry busy early around 5:15. Service was average but the food and ambiance make up for it.
