    5 stars to our waiter Chathura! We were in for lunch and were seated near the entrance, we asked for a table upstairs and were taken to it immediately. I am not at all proud of it but I was being a real pain in the neck, changing my mind multiple times and asking questions for ages until I make my mind up 🤦‍♀️ This guy remained calm and kind. Hats off to his patience levels!

    Highly recommended restaurant, you can have a variety of Italian cuisine here. I will recommend to try their pasta and strawberry drink. Last time I went with my wife there we put order pasta, chocolate pizza, supreme Pizza and more.. After having the food, we decided to come back here to try other items, because their all foods have it's unique taste.

    They have a very tasty recipe. My favorite dish is pasta. Provides very good customer service. To me the price of their food is very reasonable with the quality of the food there. Very clean place. Also a place that is pleasing to the eye. One of my favorite places to go. I pay no matter how far I go if I want to eat a pasta out of pastamania. They have another branch in one gall face. Very good like this there too. I first ate at one gall face. Of course, we can make homemade pasta, but you'll not be able to make it according to the recipe you find here. I've eaten pizza from them but it's not the dessert I want. If I want to eat a pasta, it's pastamania. There is nowhere else for their quality. Their restaurant is always busy. specially on weekends. But no matter how busy they are, normal orders take the same amount of time to deliver. There is also a separate meal for the children. No matter how many times I eat, I never get tired of eating here. They have several different flavors of pasta. Definitely a must try for anyone who has not eaten pasta lovers.

    Don't go there for pasta I always wanna try this and sadly my expectations were too high. Just a basic pasta experience. No good cheese used no flavor at all There are great places in Colombo that have options and good Italian ingredients

    A place of a different flavor. Loved the ambience and setting. Not very large but good enough to spend some time while enjoying a dish of Pasta. Loved what was ordered and the meal was tasty. Staff seems good and helpful.. Menu looked pretty large and the prices are fair..

    Great food, friendly staff. Would be great if they have more lighting. Best seafood pasta and pizza is better than that of Pizza Hut or Domino’s. Their quenchers are more than enough of two.

    Never on earth I would suggest Pastamania to anyone! Look at how they served our dishes. Its beyond unbearable the level of Chilli they have put in to our Pastas. The guys who asked (Saajid) "How's the food sir?" Never returned to us after excusing for a minute to check with his Manager. The Manager who were in black attire with spectacles, both were hiding behind the cashier. Sad to see this franchise has gone to dogs this over the years and their quality. I mean the service? Never apologized us! We didn't complain at all until the guy asked us how's it but still ignored. Never again Pastamania!!!!!

    Okay, two thumbs up from me. 👍👍 We came here with little info and very hungry. Blown away by how great it was. Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. Food really hit the spot. We got garlic bread (SO tasty), beef stroganoff, the chicken Tuscan pizza, and a mint apple cooler carafe. All were excellent. Prices were reasonable, picture-filled menu, and a fun interior design. Would definitely come again.

    Pasta lovers..... Looking for a place to dine in pasta 😋 then Pastamania is the one. It’s in Colombo and near the main road. They have some exquisite dishes and flavors of pasta. You guys have to try it. It’s not much expensive and you don’t have to spend so much time sitting and waiting until your order comes. The staff is super fast and the customer service is great. They are super attentive and always ready for the customer. I had a wonderful experience in pastamania. If you wanna try don’t think too much visit the place and have some pasta fest 😎 to dine in. Visit there FB page or google for more info. There on Uber eats too. Eat pasta and thank me later. Here we go pasta lovers. 🤪

    Awesome customer service and food. We can select a pasta type then they will include it to our pasta meal . Normally we don't drink pumpkin soup but we tried the pumpkin soup from this restaurant and it was awesome. And we also tried their mojito collection and that was also good and i can recommend meatball pasta because it was very tasty.

    A small fast food joint down Duplication road in Kolpity, Pastamania has a wide array of delicious looking food options from Pasta to Pizza. We visited recently and the upstair area was closed down probably due to Covid. We were seated in front of the chef’s area so we had a view of how our food was being done. Parking is some what a hassle as you need to find a spot down duplication or an inside lane. We ordered Meatballs pasta and Arrabiata with chicken rasher pasta which is a spicy pasta. Both of which came out steaming hot and the spicy pasta was truly spicy so watch out there. For drinks we got a Lychee soda which was was good and the Strawberry soda was pretty sweet. Both of which were not natural so not really a winner. For deserts we got Nutty cioccolato pizza, which was the only option available and it was ok but the base was too hard which was a disappointment. The service was good and attentive. Overall a good experience and we might visit again to try out the other food options.

    First thing on the mind is where to park, this is probably an issue for most people since you have to park down the lane. Luckily parking was available at that time. The ground floor was really crowded so we were told to go upstairs which was really spacious. The environment around is really colorful with different props to make it look different. The food we ordered tasted really good. Personally I would have really liked a chocolate gelato with the desert or some other options. Since they had only coffee, blackberry and mango. Do not get the mango since it tastes artificial. But its really worth for the money. The service was really awesome. We were helped by a guy named ‘Safan’. This guy was super helpful, super nice and on point with his work, something which most restaurants do not have. So really appreciate his service. Its an awesome place to meet with friends, colleagues and even office mates. Recommended

    Recently they had a offer of 50% discount for pizzas. We ordered a chicken supreme pizza which is sufficient for two people and it is worthy for the price even without a discount. The Staff is very helpful and they were accurate about the waiting time. Overall good pizza place and would recommend it to others.

Hawaian pizza was thin crust and tasty Both pasta was really good BBQ wings sauce applied was not tasty Their smoothies were really good we had chocolate smoothie and blueberry smoothie Prices are affordable and worth Overall food was good... recommended for dinner outings with family and friends

  • 5/5 Lasith Iran J. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow 🤩 we had tasty foods in there . It is really causing us a mania of pasta. Love the place

  • 5/5 Andrey M. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are in Colombo and want to enjoy the real taste of pizza, then you should definitely visit Pastamania. A variety of thin-crust pizzas, pastas, salads, gelato - all of this is very high quality and in accordance with Western standards. At the same time, the prices are reasonable.

  • 5/5 Mohamed I. 2 years ago on Google
    Thank you for the extremely good food and service of Alfred Garden House, I highly recommend coming here to eat, the art and the place itself gives Italian vibes 👌😁

  • 4/5 Akila C. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been a fan of pastamania for years. This location is nice and has a chill vibe. The service and staff were very good, kind and patient with kids. Unfortunately many of the menu items were unavailable these days, which I can understand is not the fault of the establishment. But apparently they are going to redo a menu with only the available options soon.

  • 5/5 ddig09 2 years ago on Google
    This place is superb!! Excellent food, tasty and fresh. Friendly staff with great service. Pasta was great tasting and Pizza was terrific with really nice dipping sauce. Highly recommend this to locals and foreigners. Clean too

  • 3/5 Abisheka P. 3 years ago on Google
    Portions are too small in my opinion. Not enough for 1 person. It gets crowded so there is no privacy you can hear all the conversations. Gets loud during lunch time.

  • 5/5 Yusuf S. 1 year ago on Google
    An absolute fantastic experience. Love the dishes. A bit pricey. However, the dishes taste really good.

  • 1/5 Tharindu W. 1 year ago on Google
    Just dropped in for dinner and was refused seating upstairs. The logic was that downstairs needed to be fully occupied until upstairs is available. In this day of customers having choice, not sure if that is the smartest move by the guy who made that call. Our money goes elsewhere :)

  • 4/5 Shenelle f. 1 year ago on Google
    A chilled spot to have a go at your favourite Pasta... A vide variety of pastas are available to choose from the most mouth watering menu... If your in for some Pizza, here's the place for yet your pizza cravings too.. Lovely ambience and friendly staff.. Loved it..

  • 4/5 Sameera W. 1 year ago on Google
    Place was not crowded though we had to stay outside for a little less than an hour because they had closed the shop due to the power cut. Better if they had posted it on their social platforms as we went there since the map indicated that they had been serving. Anyhow, simply, the staff was great and food was delicious. Though the portion size was not satisfactory, the taste was great. The place felt like bit cramped though. Only issue would be the parking.

  • 4/5 Thanu l. 1 year ago on Google
    Wanted to go for long time; almost authentic with Pasta 🤤, pizza and its seasonings. Best part was the sauce provided for pizza. And the paprika chicken is not as expected. Over all a very nice Italian experience with focused variety.

  • 5/5 Sandy B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal in PastaMania🍜. I had an Alfredo , with a Passion Berry Carafe. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out 😍. The best meal I have ever had 😘 love it, and customer service also amazing 😇❤

  • 5/5 Thilina Dilanka J. 5 months ago on Google
    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of dining at 'PastaMania' and tried their 'Chicken Bolognese Pasta.' The preparation was impressively swift, yet the dish exuded an authentic Italian aroma that instantly transported me. As a connoisseur of Italian flavors, I can confidently say this was one of the best pasta experiences I've had. The blend of spices, rich Bolognese sauce, and perfectly cooked chicken created an exceptional taste. What's more, the price was reasonable, making the entire dining experience at 'PastaMania' undoubtedly worth the money. The establishment has earned its place as a top pasta spot, thanks to prompt service and an unforgettable culinary journey.

  • 5/5 Nevindie Gunasekara (. 8 months ago on Google
    Probably one of the best spots to grab a quick Italian bite. The dishes were all packed with flavour and had tons of elements to it. If you like more cheesy variety try the chicken corn crumble pasta (the crunchy cheese is a hearty add to the texture). We tried the Alfredo pasta, a Bolognese and the corn crumble. All three has different and unique flavours. Moving onto pizza, the portion sizes are quite small. Considering that the pizza is thin crust, you expect it to be more loaded when you pay 1900-2500 for a 7" inch pizza. That was a disappointment. (We got basil chicken and Margherita) Avoid the calamari on the menu. It literally tasted like rubber but with a crunchy coat. We got less than 6 peices of rubbery and flavourless calamari for the price of Rs 990. The atmosphere is kid a d family friendly, you can come here to have a fun dinner out with your family or your friends and just enjoy the pasta. And as the name, they only do pasta well. Total bill Rs. 14500 No of pasta dishes 3 Pizzas 2 Calamari 1 Drinks 5 Garlic bread 2 Xoxo

    Could do better... Took the kids for a treat n my son didn't get his pizza.. when we reminded the waiter after 45 mins had passed the waiter said "5 more minutes” waiter repeated this for another 20 minutes. Till we decided to leave. My daughter wasn't served her desert for the kids meal either.. had they been honest that they had messed up the order I would have ordered something that would have been served fast to keep my son happy till his pizza did arrived.. sadly they were too proud to admit their error till I walked away.. very disappointed.

    Great food for pasta lovers. Pizza desserts are also tasty. The best part is the Calamari. That's the best I've had ! Comparatively big portion at affordable price.

  • 5/5 Dilendra F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good food, with many choices. Excellent service with friendly staff. Interior architecture looks somewhat Italian, staying true to the brand. I felt cold with the AC draft, and a steward noticed it himself and adjusted the AC. Bravo! As we came in, the restaurant was full and we had to sit aside few minutes for a table. However, the staff was proactive and gave us the menu to go through. This saved time all around. Bravo! At the end, we were offered free Gelato ice cream for dessert, perhaps because we waited extra time for a table. Brilliant!

    After a long time, bingeworthy pasta dishes ! Cozy seating with windows overlooking Duplication Road - who knew Colombo traffic could look quaint ! The food was fresh, seasoned just right and a delight for the whole family. With the choices of spice and non spice, and types of pasta, the younger diners had alot of options to enjoy mild, easy-to-handle food. All in all, an hour of joyful dining.
