We were seated in the basement. It’s a nice atmosphere. There was music playing and the video was showing. It was spacious and the aesthetic were nice. I got the southwest brisket pasta, it was delicious 10/10. Definitely recommend!!! It’s was flavorful and there wasn’t too much meat. Definitely plan on going again!!!!

We celebrated our anniversary last night at Graffiti Pasta. It was our first but definitely not our last dining experience there. From the moment we walked in the door to a very packed restaurant to the moment we left we were acknowledged & taken care of. Faith was our waitress & let me tell you, I have NEVER had a more amazing server. She knew so many things about the menu, was able to offer suggestions without being pushy, friendly, & just overall such a cool person. I would honestly come back just to see her. The meatball appetizer was our favorite part of the meal followed by the salad.

Finally made it to Graffiti Pasta after trying to go several times—and it was totally worth the wait! The vibe was fun and relaxed, and the food didn’t disappoint. My friend and I split the Rasta Pasta with the chicken it comes with and added meatballs, and everything was super tasty. The meatballs were especially delicious—tender and full of flavor. While the Cajun seasoning in the pasta could’ve used a bit more depth, it was still enjoyable overall. We also started with the broccolini appetizer, which was surprisingly flavorful and perfectly cooked. We’ll definitely be back to try more!

I've wanted to try this place for a long time now and finally my husband and I got to. I was conflicted with the rasta pasta and the southwest brisket pasta, I ended up picking the rasta pasta and it did not disappoint! The flavors were delicious and the heat was perfect! My husband tried the Mac n cheese and added brisket to it. The flavors were amazing! I also tried the Sangria Loren and it was refreshing on this hot day! The ladies working were very friendly and welcoming, we can't wait to go back and try some more items!

While not entirely traditional Italian pasta dishes, what we found were fresh takes on them that were well executed. We started with Brisket Bruschetta and Stuffed Mushrooms. Wife had the Tortellini La Flor with chicken. She really enjoyed that the chicken was shredded so that it picked up the sauce easily. The lemon came through in the flavor and the sauce was light and creamy. I wanted the Mean Green lasagna, but they were already sold out (at 6:30 on a Saturday if that tells you anything!). I had the Pasta Al Denton instead and had them add cherry tomatoes. The pesto (which we had just tasted on the mushrooms) was still wonderful over a spinach spaghetti with the tomatoes adding a wonderful touch of sweet and acid. We’re definitely heading back there as part of our rotation! Give it a try!

Went to Grafitti Pasta for the first time last night and had a good experience. Their food is well priced, the service was good and the theme is fun. We ordered a cocktail, the Italian Elote, Rasta Pasta and Green Ziti and cheesecake. The Italian Elote was 10/10. Really good twist on a classic with a lot of flavor. My husband liked his Rasta Pasts that was cajun-y but not too spicy. The peppers and seasoned chicken were great. My Green Ziti was good overall but a little bland for me so I added some lemon juice and it was great! Definitely a good spot right in downtown.

This place is pretty cool. Love the graffiti vibes and the downstairs area is a vibe too. They were pretty busy so the service was a little slow but there's so much to look at and great music that is didn't even matter. The food was decent...the meatballs with the pink sauce 🤌💋. Worth checking out.

Arrived shortly after opening on a weekday and had prompt seating and service. Server was informative and gave great recommendations. We tried the mac and cheese, pesto pasta, jerk pasta, and pesto caprese salad. The art every where was really cool also.

What a charming place to eat. There were seven of us with seven different dishes. Every single dish was just delicious. Service was a little slow but I think our waitress was doing her best. If I lived in Denton, this would be one of my go to places to eat.

I've been here twice and both times I've loved everything I've tried. It hasn't been too busy either time. The staff is always really friendly and the food does come out quickly. My personal favorites are the green baked ziti and the green baked ziti and the tortellini de la flor. Both times I went everyone was satisfied with their dish . The only thing would recommend skipping out on is the brisket bruschetta. It's good, but in my opinion it's not worth the price for amount of food you good. Besides that I don't think you can go wrong with any of the food options. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a casual place to eat with friends or a date night.

Good food the salad was amazing. Pasta was pretty good. Garlic knots are always. Good. Pizza is amazing. Ranch is amazing. Prices are a little high but you go into the graffiti pasta knowing that service is always good. Ambience is there. just an FYI I my stomach wasn't too happy after.

I came in on a Thursday night by myself and really enjoyed my experience here. Pasta sounded so good on a cold night and it didn't disappoint! The bartender was very helpful and kind, she recommended me some vegetarian dishes. I'm really glad I went with the baked ziti, it was flavorful and had shredded impossible meatballs in there.

Really nice people. Cool casual vibe. Good pasta. Cream sauce was a bit heavy for me, but probably perfect for most. flavor was good. I'd certainly go back.

The food is not bad. I always have high hopes because the descriptions sound amazing but it always just ends up tasting meh. Not bad, just not as good as I hoped. Better than a lot of places and have to love the late night availability. It is definitely a loud place. I love the vibe and the colorful, street aesthetic. The Tuesday Open Mic is fun in the basement. Service is hit or miss, watch out for double charges on large parties. It is a good place for affordable food and group get togethers.

This is another spot where the reviewers have let me down. We came with friends to grab some dinner and it was an interesting experience. We had Italian elote and meatballs as an appetizers. The Italian elote was really good and the meatballs were mid. There was some flavor missing. For pasta I ordered a tricolor tortellini. It was ok. I honestly preferred the little bread they gave me over the actual pasta itself. My husband had the Rasta pasta which was good but it felt heavily overseasoned (jerk chicken seasoning maybe?) The pasta did taste fresh the flavor just wasn't there. It's for sure better than Olive Garden. This place isn't bad, it's just not what I expected.

Cute trendy pasta restaurant in the middle of the historic downtown Denton. Service was a bit slow, but the food was amazing! My husband tried their "Rasta Pasta", which was a twist to the traditional Alfredo fettuccine. The pasta was tossed with jerk seasoned alfredo sauce, bell peppers, topped with jerk seasoned pulled chicken and fresh cut italian parsley. It was really amazing! I didn't get a photo of the pasta unfortunately! I ordered the personal pepperoni pizza, which was also very delicious! If you're hungry, I'd recommend you ordering more than 1 pizza! The pizza was pretty tiny!

Service was great. We tried the meatball sub and the pizza. I'll start with the pizza, now we know if it's college town bar and open late the pizza is not likely good. But we tried it anyway. The crust was a thin premade, the edges super crunchy and the middle soggy. The sauce was right from the jar. Take my advice and pick something else. There is plenty to choose from. The meatball sub was good. We were trying to decide if the meatballs are homemade but I'm thinking they are not. But they were good and the homemade ricotta and fresh herbs were very good.but the sauce was right out of the jar that was the same sauce as the pizza. Just an ok lunch for us. Nice atmosphere. Would have loved it in college.

Service was great. Pasta was definitely al dente, they do not lie it's even posted on their menu. The breakfast pasta was an interesting mixture of flavors and creamyness. My service was awesome

I went here with a friend for dinner when they had their green lasagna- not sure if it's a seasonal item but didn't see it on their online menu recently ): I did see an alternative. We got the mushrooms to share and they were yum! The green lasagna with extra sauce was my favorite and hope they bring it back soon!

I am a FAN. The interior definitely has great charm between the lighting/ambiance and unique decor. The menu items were also very unique and customizable if you chose to go that route. Pricing was between $10 and $20 per entree. Entrees overall were delicious and heavenly and hefty! I did not expect to love that pasta dish so friggin' much! Definitely recommend coming during an obscure time or before dinner (6pm) since it got wildly busy and there wasn't enough seating in the establishment. Parking was a bit difficult (street) but if you drive a block or two away, there is a public parking lot you can use - it's just about a 5 minute walk away.

This place is on the square, so expect to walk a ways. Inside feels like a different world. It has a basement bar type vibe. I settled on brisket pasta but definitely going back to try the chicken spaghetti. The bow tie pasta and sauce were delicious. The pico garnish had a nice kick. The only negative was the brisket, as it must have been left over from Mother's Day. Fortunately, there was not enough to affect the dish. The bartender was on point and friendly. Definitely, a return trip is warranted.

Went last night for the first time and already can't wait to go back. It has a very cool, casual vibe inside, the service was fantastic (shout out to Gina! Great job!) and the food....THE FOOD! Just great! We had bruschetta, Calabrese Caprese salad, Banksy's Baked Ziti and Pasquini Linguini. Everything was absolutely delicious. Try Grafitti Pasta and trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Yum!! What a cool and unique place in the heart of the square with an equally cool menu. I ordered the brisket bruschetta and it was amazing! Delicious small bites with the perfect amount of spice-- I could have easily eaten two trays! I loved the graffiti and eclectic decor, and appreciated the kind and professional staff. If we lived closer, this would definitely be my go to spot!

Food was delicious. I ordered the build your own and added the shredded meatballs. I recommend that you not order the shredded meatballs. They charge extra $4 for that. Not worth the price . You are better off ordering the meatballs which is $2.50 but I believe that at least you will get your money's worth on the food. The decor is eye catching and is very casual environment. The establishment appeared to be clean. They don't require dress code. So come as you are. The waiter was attentive and sweet. I gave this place a 4 because I was disappointed on the serving of the shredded meatballs. Doesn't appear like enough protein on the plate.

I came here for the first time with a large-ish group of 7 people and we were seated immediately. The artichoke hummus was super delicious, I may have hogged it from the group. My favorite pasta I tried was the Rasta Pasta, it was very rich and creamy. The main dishes were pretty affordable but the drink menu was a little pricey, with most cocktails going for about $13-15 dollars. The price didn't stop me from ordering the Alderaan Sunset drink, which I really enjoyed. Overall, I had a good time here, plus it's right next to my favorite gelato spot so I will definitely be back!

I'm honestly mad no one told me sooner about this place. We are all sad that J&J's (which used to be in this spot) closed, but who knew it would be replaced by such a delicious pasta and pizza spot! It balances family friendly and bar-on-square vibes, so take any crowd and they'll be glad you did! Definitely some of the best pasta I've ever had. The baked ziti with meatballs is a precious favorite! The mac and cheese has a nice baked top with oogy gooey cheesy deliciousness. I'll tell you this - our 14 year old who of course isn't ever impressed by anything said this Mac and cheese is "literally the best ever." Every pasta dish comes with a free yummy garlic roll, too! Excellent vegetarian and vegan options, too! And they make some strong and deliciously unique cocktails. Sometimes the service is slow but is always super friendly and honestly everyone is doing their best. I wish they had draft beer - though their canned selection is good!

Had a meeting yesterday in Denton and wanted to reunite with my little brother JB, so I headed from Dallas early to meet him for an early lunch. He suggested this place. I like pasta and graffiti, so I went for it! I arrived about 10 minutes early and had a seat...Kayleigh our server was on it and got me a nice cold glass of water. i really dug the vibe of the place with the wild paint, great music selection and TV's with MTV videos and movie clips! JB got there and we ordered, since he was a regular...he got his fave mac and cheese, and I found out it the place specialized in vegan food. I did not want to feel too full, so I ordered what I thought were 2 smaller appetizers...not the case when they came out...the meat-less meatballs and pasta salad were BIG! Enjoyed the meal and company and promised JB we would be back!

Great location on the square. The decor is fun and eclectic, very fitting for the name. The fans were on despite it being a cooler night (around 70 degrees outside. It felt warmer outside than inside). My mom ordered a cosmo and I had a jack and coke. Hard to mess up my drink, but hers tasted like it had some sort of spice added to it. The color is very off what I normally see a cosmo as. Food was average to below average. We both got a build your own bowl. My creamy pesto was fantastic, but the shrimp was overly seasoned. I like my food on the saltier side, but even this felt like too much. My mom tried and said it was inedible with how salty the shrimp was. She stated her Alfredo wasn't anything special, but liked that the chicken was shredded. We both liked the garlic knots. Our service wasn't great. The woman who served us asked if we needed anything as soon as our food was dropped off, before we were able to start eating, but didn't come back until we had to flag her down for another drink and napkins. It wasn't busy. She never asked how our food was either, which I've found to be a customary question from servers. Overall it was just okay. I'd come back for the creamy pesto sauce, but a different protein. Wouldn't be my first choice for dinner.

I got a To-Go order of baked ziti, I usually like this place when I come in for a sit down experience. This time was different. I got not one but two burnt rolls and the pasta was weirdly soggy and not cooked all the way at the same time. Disappointed to say the least.

Very pricey for small portions but great flavor! Light dinner eats. Service was very slow in the basement. Ambiance in basement was not super enjoyable as the lights were very bright and table was not set with enough utensils.

Wow, what a surprise this restaurant was. We were just out running errands and decided we wanted Italian for dinner. Our search led us to the small restaurant on the Denton Square. What a great experience. Totally funky inside. Perfect service. Really creative drinks. Excellent food. We can't wait to have friends join us on our find. We are pretty sure it will be new to them because 100% of the clientele on the evening we were there was college aged or in their early 20s and we are far far from being that. Still, good food and service is good food and service. We started with drinks. I had an About Last Thyme. I admit that I had never had anything with Cucumber Jalapeno Tequila and Thyme Liqueur before. A few other ingredients and this martini style drink was great. I resisted drinking it down in one giant gulp. My wife had the Sangria Loren, a bit of a switch from a typical sangria that is made with red wine and hibiscus liqueur, plus fruit and prosecco. Another great drink. On to the food. Lots to select from, so we will be back. We started with an excellent house salad which was mostly arugula - no complaints there - and a flavorful dressing. We then shared the Tomato Bruschetta which was one of the better Bruschettas we have had anywhere. For the mains, my wife had a Personal Pesto Margherita Pie. Perfectly prepared, well-seasoned, crisp and flavorful. It really was a one-person pizza and there was nothing left over. I had the Rasta Pasta which was a fettuccini pasta tossed with jerk seasoned alfredo sauce and topped with jerk seasoned pulled chicken. This had just the right amount of spicy kick for me. Only complaint was it was over sauced with it swimming at the bottom. If you want a hole in the wall with excellent food and service, come here.

Not sure how they got the awesome reviews. Stopped her last night for a later dinner. Ordered a couple drinks, didn't finish them they were not good. Service was meh. Food, macaroni dish was delicious, but not outstanding. Build your own pasta was good as well but again not outstanding. Didn't go in expecting traditional food, it was different but good. Service was way below average. Dont expect much. A plain jack and coke tasted like coke.

My husband, 9-month-old son, and I dined here last night. When we joking asked for a table for 2.5 aka a table with a high chair, the hostess told us they don't have any high chairs in the restaurant but if we still wanted to dine he could sit in a regular chair, the bench, or we could hold him. I went back to the car for his stroller so he would have an appropriate place to sit. Families may want to look elsewhere on the Square, like Cartwright's or LSA, where we've always felt welcomed when dining out with our little one. If you're dining without a little in tow, your experience might be better. Service was disappointing as well--my husband's order was wrong, and my Green Baked Ziti was cold in the middle. When I mentioned this, I was offered to have it "warmed up," and the response made it seem like an inconvenience. I sent a message via the website last night before posting this review. This morning I received a reply from who I assume to be the owner confirming my original suspicions. After outlining our experience, he stated: "We aim to provide a dining experience that caters primarily to date nights, business lunches, and evenings out with friends. While we do our best to accommodate families, we are not specifically designed as a kid-focused restaurant." While I appreciate the clarification of their target audience, high chairs are standard in the restaurant industry and don't make a restaurant "kid-focused".

This place is great!! We came around 6pm on a Friday night and luckily were able to be seated quickly at the bar. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the broccolini to start and a house salad with salmon and a shrimp pasta dish. They were both amazing! The restaurant was very lovely and we loved the homage to Sopranos. This is a great spot!

The broccolini appetizer was delicious. Dip your bread in it! You don't get bread as a free appetizer, it just comes on your pasta if you order pasta. It's delicious. The lemon alfredo is INTENSE. I love lemon, but hot damn it was strong. The meatballs are delicious as well. The baked ziti was a little spicy, but good. The only downside was the slow service.

Quick review here. The pasta is surprisingly delicious. We thought it was "a pasta restaurant? Really??" But they have excellent flavor combinations you wouldn't really think of. Jerk seasoning flavored pasta? Brisket pasta? Both fantastic. The drinks are great too. Pricing: not the cheapest food, two drinks and two plates will run $70 tax tip included. But if you're just grabbing a pasta plate and a glass of water, it's fairly reasonable considering modern times. Overall, quite enjoyed our evening here!

Yelp
We were thrilled to have a new restaurant open on the square, but unfortunately Graffiti Pasta has been okay at best. We tried it twice to give it a fair shake but we won't be back. The table bread and meatball appetizer are our favorites, but the pasta dishes missed the mark for us. We've tried the Rasta, the breakfast pasta, tortellini la flor, and the zoodles-and they were either over seasoned or under seasoned. That being said, Graffiti Pasta has an open mic comedy night once a week- so grab a drink, try their late menu and see if you like it enough to catch a meal next time.

This was my first ever negative experience, but I don't know if I'll return after this. Over all the atmosphere was extremely chaotic and no body seemed to really have a handle on it. In addition to this, I found a chicken bone in my food. When I brought this up to my server the only response was "well, you don't have to eat that part". I was fine to finish the dish, but I would've appreciated some sort of apology or even comping the chicken add on... especially because I could have choked if I wasn't paying well enough attention. Overall, just wasn't a great experience and I would only recommend coming here on off peak hours.

Got pasta to go- outrageously pricey, super greasy and not tasty at all. I was super disappointed. Part of me wants to give the place another try and get something different but for that price and that small quantity I'm not sure!

I have never been so cold while eating. The staff in the kitchen had on short sleeves. Meanwhile everyone in the restaurant ate with their coats on. It's cold outside but our car was warmer than the inside of the restaurant. Meatball sub was yummy. Service was just okay.

I'm a visiting foodie, and NEVER eat at the same place twice - except HERE! Been here twice and coming back tomorrow for dinner. This pescatarian was pleasantly surprised with every dish. The shrimp add-on to the spinach noodles with lemon Alfredo was perfect! As others have said, order at least one extra bread knot! MK at the bar is super nice. The locals clearly love this place as much as I do. There's some real creative talent in the kitchen!

Me and my husband randomly stumbled into this place the vibe was exactly what we were looking for! The service was great our server (forgot her name) was very attentive and gave us suggestions for the food we went with the suggested meatballs for appetizers and they were amazing!! We then got the Rasta pasta which was also suggested my husband LOVED it (had a spicy jerk seasoning kick) and I went with the sideways Mac attack and we loved it all! Price was $60 for 2 people who order alcohol 2 entrees and an appetizer so I'm not sure why people complain of price!

These folks know exactly how to create the perfect eatery in a small amount of space. The food is excellent with good portions, served hot and very flavorful. I've gotten pasta both times with the great meatballs and mushrooms. Their main attraction is the service and the ambience. A magnificent bar with video screens that are synced with the music and everything from modern soft rock to Jackie Wilson singing Lonely Teardrops. I'm from 210 miles away to have only been there twice but it's one of my favorite restaurants ever. The artwork on the walls just adds to making this place the wonderful experience it is. The owner is hands-on, very friendly and his staff reflects his work ethic and demeanor.

Great place with very friendly staff. This place hit the spot in all the right places. The bruschetta was fresh, savory, and not too hard. Rasta pasta had quite a kick, was perfectly seasoned & cooked. Dipping the garlic knots into the sauce was a no brainer. Pasta al Denton was great. The large grilled chicken chunks was a great addition to the dish as well as the mushrooms. Overall portions were just right and I couldn't find a single complaint even if I tried. Graffiti Pasta has a casual atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. Thanks for y'all's hospitality!

Intrigued by the great reviews we chose this restaurant on a short visit to Denton. The restaurant was empty at almost 4pm and only had one server/bar tender. Ordered two sodas, that came completely flat, server was always nice and very apologetic and brought us replacements "from another gun" that were also flat, like zero carbonation. When she came back after a good wait she said that their sodas are always "funny"...what? OK, drinks were exchanged for something trying to resemble iced tea, but we quickly gave up on the drinks completely and against our basic instincts (should have paid and left) we proceeded to order. Started with the garlic knots, which were warm and slightly flavorful, not a show stopper, but a step up after the drink situation. Then we ordered a margarita pizza (?) that was the flattest pizza dough ever, maybe flat bread would be a better description, flavors were ok, but definitely missed big on the dough. Next came 2 baked zitis, that looked ok, and were probably the best entree that was ordered, nothing to call home for, just ziti, marinara sauce a couple of cheeses and a hot oven, the sort of thing you will get at a church potluck and be satisfied, I guess. Lastly, I wanted the green chicken lasagna that was sold out, so our really nice server recommended a ziti that would have "the same ingredients ", great. The pasta came and first impression was, where is the green sauce that gives this dish its name? It had a browned sauce, tasty yes but extremely greasy, and with some pieces of chicken that were really tough, like when you leave shredded chicken in the fridge without any cover and it dries out and forms a crust...sigh To sum it up, we were not impressed with anything, and the highlight of our meal was the iced water and the garlic knots. I don't get the 4+ star rating , but if you're the kind of person that enjoys your non-Italian grandma's version of Italian, this is your place.

Second time in, and I absolutely am a sucker for a good bar AND homemade pasta with sauces! They have an excellent selection of both. The first time we went, I had the tortellini dish with fresh, edible flower bits on top. Very, very good. My hubby had the shrimp dish. My friend had the zoodles with a homemade meatball. We split a house salad, nice house dressing with good quality Feta on top. Last night, we were seated towards the back of the restaurant and kept getting whiffs of the bathroom area. Not sure if they can do anything about that but it was off putting. We got the Caprese salad to share with our table of 4 and it was enough. My friend ordered a dirty martini and it took quite a while to hit the table.. the restaurant was full BUT it's not a lot of square footage and the staff could do more to support one another to get things flying to the right tables. My hubby ordered the homemade fettucine w mushrooms, I had the zoodles with lemon alfredo, my friends ordered the tortellini dish mentioned above and the rasta pasta. For some reason, my hubby and my orders came out a full 10 minutes prior to our friends. When all the dishes hit the table, we dug in! Each dish had one of their garlic nots... I found that to be quite dense so did not eat mush of that. The zoodles w alfredo were fantastic though! I normally do not care for the heaviness of alfredo sauce but the zoodles are light enough to absorb it. My hubby's mushrooms looked pan roasted perfection! My friend's dishes were devoured! All in all, a good experience. Next time, I think I'll wait for the front table! Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food!

Overall this place was passable if you're hungry enough, but nothing special. The menu situation was so confusing it almost ruined the experience. When you first arrive there is a single QR code on the table. Neither of us could get that to work and honestly just despise having to use a phone to view a menu anyways. Then we asked for paper menu, which they could only provide one of. The paper menu didn't have their cocktails listed so we then had to go to their website to see the drink menu. Honestly how embarrassing that they couldn't be bothered to go to staples or office supplies place and make a few extra copies with all the menu items. I digress. The food itself was decent. We got this mushroom toast appetizer that was pretty good, although cold. I just couldn't get into the idea of pasta that day so I got the meatball sub which was listed as an appetizer. Again with the menu, how is a giant meatball sub that you can't even fit in your mouth without first cutting up an appetizer? The meatball sub was very good, but impossible to eat like an actual sandwich. I also tried my wife's baked ziti which was good. The cocktails were probably the best part, honestly. I got the Vermont summer and my wife got the sangria. Both were very delicious! I think Graffiti Pasta has great potential, but needs to focus on getting the basics right. Let people have menus, more than one napkin and actual plate. I'll be giving it another try.

Lovely find. Delicious fresh pasta! Spinach fettuccine Alfredo. Mmmmmmm! Waiter was sweet and tentative. Ambiance was a little weird... chopsticks with pasta? Different but otherwise delicious!

Hubby and I saw this on Yelp and thought we would stop in. We felt a little out of place being in our 40's and fairly boring but the place is super fun looking on the inside and the food was delicious. We came mid-day and the place was empty. Waitress was sweet and attentive. I feel like this place would be a really cool hang out for people younger and cooler than us LOL. Seriously tho we enjoyed it and will definitely eat there again.
