The portions were a bit tiny. The wait staff was exceptionally nice. A beautiful evening to eat outside on the Eastside
HORRIBLE!!! Service was so bad! Slow and waiter came over 1 time only to check on us. Waited 15 minutes after appetizers before he took dinner order. Pizzas were soggy and tasteless. Ravioli terrible. Calamari was shriveled and was dry- impossible to chew. I ordered a second drink from the bar which never came until we were done with dinner and asked the waiter to cancel it. Very disappointed as it was supposed to be a pre-graduation dinner for my daughter.
I absotely loved my experience at Pasta Beach ( east side) The food was impeccable and the service the same. Sal and Elizabeth were the best! I could not have asked for a better dining experience. Kristin
Delicous food, excellent customer service
Great service and good food! Love the atmosphere!
I had dinner with friends at the Wayland Square location and needed to give some feedback. I haven't been to Pasta Beach in a few years and the waiter kept going on and on about the new chef especially the new pizza chef. I think he needs to stop selling this so hard because the pizza last night was terrible. We had the Funghi pizza and it was almost inedible. It was such a soggy mess that as soon as you tried to lift a slice all of the toppings slide off and the dough was a gooey mess. Either the water wasn't cooked out of the mushrooms enough or the dough wasn't cooked first. But it was terrible. The cheese was congealed and gross and the whole thing was a waste of $20. Luckily the pasta we ordered was quite tasty. The service was good but slow! Drinks took forever to come out and twice were missing small items. Not sure if we would come back again especially after the pizza mess.
Lasagna is just ok. I should have taken a picture. The lasagna was many layers of pasta but not much filling between the lawyers and the flavor was blah, it was dense. I wouldn’t recommend it. My homemade “prince” recipe is much better. My husband got tagliatelle with prosciutto and peas and it was very heavy with peas so if you like peas get that.

I was waiting for an order, and the owner walked up to me with one hand on his hip and said "Sir, we don't sell garlic parmesan hoagies here" in a real sassy way. Right before he said it too, he blew a big pink bubble gum bubble, and burst it loudly with his tongue.I know Pasta Beach doesn't sell garlic parmesan hoagies. I don't know of anyone who does. In fact, I don't even know what a garlic parmesan hoagie is. I come here all the time and only order the lasagna.I was left scratching my big goofy head trying to figure out what was happening, because I'm not very smart and my brain don't work too good. I get headaches when I think too hard, so I was trying to avoid deciphering this guy's language. Was he mistaking me for someone else? Was he actually a govt. employee mistaking me for a Cold War-era sleeper agent with the activation phrase "garlic parmesan hoagie"? Maybe they actually do sell garlic parmesan hoagies and the owner was just doing what that one guy from the hit 90s tv show "Friends" does where he mockingly says one thing but means the exact opposite (I think the academic term is referred to mattspeak).I never did figure out what he meant. One thing is certain: he DEFINITELY wasn't insulting me, suggesting someone with my appearance was so low-class that they'd walk into a nice restaurant and order a garlic parmesan hoagie. The guys at Pasta Beach would never do that.The lasagna, was EXCELLENT, by the way.
I spend a fair amount of time in the Wayland square area, and somehow it has taken me this long to finally have Pasta Beach. Really wish it hadn’t taken so long to give it a try.Unlike the average experience at a pasta restaurant, I left wanting more. I had the Bucatini Cacio E Pepe and besides it being so simple and perfectly cooked, it was also the perfect amount of pasta. Enough to satiate you without feeling like you need to unbutton your pants.Also ordered during this visit was the Pasta Carbonara. It was a little more smoky than I cared for, but still good. Throw in a couple of glasses of good wine, and it was a great visit.Staff was helpful without being overbearing, knowing just when to pop by
