Reviews for Pasta Bella in Mason City, IA
I live in Minnesota. My daughter first found this restaurant back in 2020. Went back for my birthday last month. We drove 2+... hours. If that tells you anything! It is worth the drive. Love the variety of the menu. The homemade bread is the best I'veever had. Their Ribeye is so great. The staff is so friendly. They have a full bar. It is a family/kid friendly place. You willnot regret dining there. Read more
Did not expect the food to be this good. I am not from the area and we decided to get a late lunch with the family before the 3... hour drive home on a Sunday. We all ordered different items from the menu. Everyone was happy. Service was excellent. Thankyou. Read more
Food was great. But service was less than acceptable. Was rushed out. Hadn't even finished 1/2 of my food and was taken a bite... when the server asked if I wanted a box to take home. And hardly saw the server. Read more
My teens are pretty finicky eaters but all three of them loved the appetizers and entrees here! Food and service were amazing.... Decor and ambiance were tasteful as well. This is an easy 5 star review. Absolutely no negatives, everything was even betterthan we expected! Read more
My husband and I tried this place out for the first time and was very disappointed with both the food and service. We both... ordered an entree with soup/salad. When taking the first bite of my salad, there was a hard, sharp piece of glass that almostbroke my tooth. When addressing the waitress, she said sorry and didn?t offer/do anything about it. When asking the manager ifwe could get a discount, he said he would buy us a dessert. Disappointed we had to ask to get a discount when a piece of glasswas in my food. Most restaurants would offer /put customer service first. Also, food was very bland and no flavor. Won?t begoing back to this place. Read more
Good food with great lunch prices. Waiter did not ask if I wanted dessert but I would have loved to try the lemoncello cake. ... Next time. Read more
Delightfully indulgent to say the least. I'm in love with the Lobster Ravioli and soaking up the sauce with the homemade bread.... My husband Steve loves the bruchetta and would be happy just eating that. My best friend Stella loves the Salmon Newburg, whichalso has my love. The salmon is cooked perfectly and melts in your mouth. The tiramisu is absolutely the lightest, most airyI've had with a perfect balance of coffee and cacao. I'd rather buy you your own than share bites of my tiramisu. My first timehere our waitress was overbearing and always asked questions just when you took a bite, was difficult to understand and wasn'table to communicate effectively with us. However, every time I've come back I've had awesome attentive service with servers thatlook for the social cue that they're needed yet still maintain the occasional table check. I actually enjoy the booths on thebar side vs the main dining side so much more. Read more
Absolutely love this restaurant! Food is always perfect. Wait staff are very good, but usually the place is so busy that they... are busy enough that refills and such are a little later than what would be the best time. My biggest complaint is that thedinning room is large and has very little sound dampening. So conversation with a group of 8 or more people is very difficult,and impossible if anyone has any hearing impairment. I come back here as often as possible for a date night when the food isimportant but conversation is lower on the list. Read more
