“I went to this place for years and loved it. Then the inevitable happened. It was a rainy night and we decided to go for dinner. We sat by the west wall and there were 10 of us. They served us there bread as usual and my daughter took a bite. She bit into something hard. I told her to spit it out and it was a piece of glass. It was sharp but it luckily did not cut her mouth. I told the waitress and she said she would tell the owner. We all blew it off and went to the main courses. Then, my brother is eating his ravioli and pulls out a very large piece of cellophane wrapping. I was obviously not taken out before cooking. This was surprisingly a very large piece of plastic. We again told the waitress and she was so sorry. We waited for the owner to come over and he never did. We got up to leave and the 3rd thing happened. All of the girls purses were sopping wet and 1 jacket was drenched. The rain had leaked in the walls and it was a puddle under our table. The whole experience was a nightmare. The biggest problem I had with the situation was that the owner blew us off like we did not exist. We approached him ourselves and told him what happened. He said he was informed by the waitress. He was as cold as ice and said, "things like this happen". He never apologized. It is as if we did not exist. Did not even offer any compensation. This was a very bad experience and I will never go back.”

• Excellent ingredients - made with passion.
• Once pizza contained canned mushrooms, but no longer.

“Outstanding! We have visited Pasta Grill on several occasions during our two month visit in 2008 and we plan on many more during our three-month visit in 2009. Lasagna is superb! Fresh ingredients - no canned mushrooms! Love it - truly an Italian experience.”

• Great atmosphere, delicious food.
• I can't change water, even ice; could use bottled/canned soft drinks.

“This restaurant has become our favorite place to frequent when we are in PCB. The bread with the garlic/olive oil mixture and the salad with creamy Italian are wonderful; this alone is worth the 8-hour trip. The grilled grouper topped with a sauce containing cubed fresh tomatoes atop a bed of garlic-parmesan mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus is to die for. The bakery next door has wonderful pastries; the best one is the white Napoleon.”

• Interior was pleasant with nice music.
• Worst food I've ever had.

“It was the worst meal I've ever had and I could not get rid of that bad taste in my mouth all evening. I'm thinking gasoline would have helped. My son ordered Veal Picata and it had a green gray cast and he was pretty sure it was just a boiled old flip flop with some sauce thrown over it. 4 were in our party - we ordered basic stuff and no one liked it. The bread was dry and hard through and through and it was a horrible $70 meal. Our service was okay but she never asked us how our meal was. I think she already knew. We left their went to McDonalds to help get the bad taste out. Yeah, that bad!”

• Food, service, atmosphere all positive.
• A long drive from Thomas Drive. but worth it.

“The food is wonderful. The best Italian I have eaten. Great service, nice atmosphere, we will definitely be back and will bring friends. Great pastries next door as well. Gary is the best (our waiter) ask for him. He is a pretty good golfer as well. Thanks for letting me know about pasta grill.”

• Food is great.
• Bread.

“Actually it was my kids that discovered Pasta Grill. They had eaten there with friends and brought the left over home. When my son came in he said "hey mom you gotta taste this" it was the seafood ravioli, skeptic that I am, I went in for the bite and wow, my eyes closed and I thought I found a little bit of heaven. We now go at least 3 times a month. I have to say though, the last time we were there the bread was stale and the food was a little mushy but I figured everyone is entitled to a bad day. We are going tonight with the kids. Bon appetit.”

• Very impressive house wine and friendly staff (the only good things I can say).
• Tasted like pasta from a can, frozen, then reheated then kept under a heat lamp.

“It appears there are two chefs working at Pasta Grill. This would have been a wonderful Italian meal. This was not the case. The pasta was mush-it is cooked Al Dente in Italy, and this was very far from it. The sauce contained frozen, grey peas and tasted as though it has been reheated numerous times. The olive oil which comes with the bread was wonderfully aromatic with garlic and spices; this was very enjoyable. The service was cheerful and attentive. The bread was passable. For authentic Italian food, immediately go to Ferrucci's on Harrison Ave. In Downtown Panama City, you will not be disappointed! They know pasta and sauce.”

• Ambiance, presentation, atmosphere, price, quality, friendliness, fresh home grown orchids, wow.
• Nothing.

“My daughter and I were in Panama city for thunder on the beach motorcycle gathering and wanted to find a restaurant that was away from the traffic we had spent all day in on our bikes. What a delight we discovered that day! The food was presented as though it was the food network cook offs and prepared to perfection. Our waiter was wonderful; he judged each of our personalities and treated us accordingly. My daughter is laid back, I am extravagant! I have highly recommended the pasta grill to our many friends who dined closer to the action on the beach, so, get ready next year; we're going to swamp you! I should also mention that I am the family cook/kook, with a propensity toward Italian and gourmet, so accolades from me do not come easy, my daughter was amazed that I found fault with nothing! I also liked that the chef mingled with the diners and made sure all were satisfied, we had a nice chat about his fresh herb garden out back. Great job.”

• Authentic Italian food.
• Parking.

“Best Italian food anywhere. The only restaurant where you have to wait for the food to cool off before you can eat it. It is obvious that the food is prepared fresh daily. All the breads are made in their bakery next door.”

• True gourmet food at very reasonable prices.
• The building is not anything special from the outside.

“The food is just outstanding at this cozy and authentic Italian restaurant on the beach. This is a true gourmet experience at remarkably reasonable prices. We ate there three times on one week. The service is warm and attentive. The chef/owner is friendly and accommodating and willing to handle special requests. The atmosphere is casual and the building is not fancy at all. There is plenty of parking out back if the spots in front are taken. The wine list is limited compared to the quality of the food but there are a number of nice Italian choices on the list. I'm looking forward to a return visit.”

• Food and value are excellent! Best local Italian food I¿ve ever tasted.
• Service and parking needs improvement.

“The food will wow you! My wife and I have definitely added pasta grill to our most favorite local list. Varied menu, great values plus delicious tastes of Italian food. It won't take too long before this hidden treasure of a restaurant becomes the talk of the town. The only problem I foresee in the future is getting a table within a reasonable time, but that won't stop us from going.”
