Pasta La Fata

Wow. Outstanding pasta and desserts. I had heard good things about this Italian bakery and pasta house. I was not disappointed. This restaurant won "Best New Restaurant" in Columbia in 2023. The flavor of the pasta dishes, delicious! This is not a spaghetti and garlic bread type of place. Check out the limited menu - a half dozen wonderful pasta choices, but that's it. Salads are good too. This is more of a takeout place as everything comes in those boxes you would see at a Chinese restaurant. Side note, the fare is excellent but not large portions so if you are really hungry and a big eater, you'll need to order a little more. The butter pecan cheesecake was to die for!!! Desserts everywhere!

Really cool atmosphere, friendly and cool staff, placed a pick up and it was ready at the pickup time, quality food that you can tell is homemade. It is expensive, but for good reason as you can taste the freshness and effort put into your meal. I live just down the street and can’t believe I waited this long to try it. Also love the togo option and the tupperware used still allows a beautiful presentation of the dish. Will definitely be back!!

i paid 31.31 for an order of mozzarella sticks and a garlic cream pasta and added chicken for 3.50. this is hands down the worst pasta i’ve had it’s actually very comparable to the chicken alfreado you can get from dominos for 14$

Ordered 2 XL meatball lasagnas. Last minute on a holiday. They happened to be making them fresh and accommodated. Yummy and made it easy for me! Super fun little place. Extremely lovely staff. I picked up a good bottle of wine and a dessert while there. I can’t wait to try more.

I ordered to go a slice of cake, and it’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! I can tell it had almond paste in it (my favorite) but it wasn’t overwhelming at all, and the cake after many hours is still soft and perfect. I’ve also bought the meatballs, and frozen pasta, and loved it! It’s a super cute place, and a great stop in como

Love this place so much! Visited here on a Wednesday when they had their Crab Ravioli and the Missouri’s state dish - Toasted Cheesy Ravioli! I thoroughly enjoyed both. I so wish they stayed open until a little later in the evenings I’ve been wanting to bring my friends after work.

Portions are incredibly small compared to what you pay. The “hungry” salad is the size of a regular and the pasta meals are the size of maybe an appetizer. The Cesar salad dressing was so thick with the consistency of hummus it was very hard to coat evenly and just clumped. Even then the taste was not very good. The lasagna (not pictured) had no cheese and very little sauce. Very dry and disappointing. The noodle dishes, mozzarella sticks and strawberry cake were good, but as a family of 4 we were left wondering how we got $80 worth of food when we’re still hungry afterwards.

My wife has raved about this place for a while and finally got to go check it out. Overall, the food was very tasty, service was friendly and fairly quick, and I didn’t leave hungry! Another reviewer complained about portion size, and while it isn’t the biggest plate/box of pasta, the light size filled me up (and I can usually eat a lot). Desserts were tasty. Also, recommend checking out the classes. My wife did one with her work and loved getting to do this with Shelley. Definitely should try this little spot out!
