    Had a surprising dining experience here recently. I'll admit that PastaMania isn't one of the restaurants that pop in my head when craving for pasta but my recent visit might change that. My wife ordered their Spicy Chicken with Broccoli Pasta while I went with the Truffle Pasta with Meatballs. We were pleasantly surprised that both dishes had really good flavours and quite generous portions. The Spicy Chicken had an extra kick without being too spicy and a mild sweet and sour flavour from the tomatoes. While the Truffle Pasta had the signature bold flavour that truffle lovers delight in, which also paired really well with the cream sauce. We weren't big fans of the drinks however, as it was more akin to the taste of children's cough medicine so I recommend getting canned/bottled drinks instead. Worth noting is that the cooking times were swift and we got our freshly cooked food within minutes of ordering. To give credit where it's due, PastaMania has really revamped their style to fit in with more modern eateries. Ordering and paying can be done through their website (scanned from a QR code) which felt fast and snappy which is leagues better than the countless restaurants that I've been to with a similar service but with laggy websites. The service staff here were also very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I'd highly recommend giving this place a visit if you're looking for good pastas.

    Was miffed when trying to adhere to the sign of “please wait to be seated”. A family with young kids at tow and a stroller just walk right past me and into their seats. I was ignored by small petite staff, and only when i assert to her i was there first, she apologises. Had a bad taste even before i started my meal. The whole experience was made way better by the approachable and observant Song who knew i was struggling with the near to empty tabasco sauce. He greeted everyone and made everyone feel good. Without him it would have been a 3 star outlet.

    We went to the Bugis outlet. The service staff was really friendly there. It was a perfect ambience Restaurant. We had mushroom soup. The cream of the soup was thick and good. Then we had mushroom pizza. The cheese was stretchy, and the pizza was well-made and soft. The crust was delicate and delicious to eat. Then we had tom yum seafood pasta. It was excellent in taste. Then strawberry soda was good, and even hot Milo was also good for drinking.

    I'm so disappointed🥲service is slow. When I said table for one, the waiter looked confused? And then proceeded to sit me at the table that was not wiped. It still had chili flakes and cheese on it. I ordered fried calamari and carbonara. Starting with the calamari, it was so freaking salty, the batter was separating from the calamari and it was so tough😶the carbonara, tasteless, no salt and the sauce was clumpy. How does that happen. I was so excited to come back after so long and utterly disappointed. Never coming back. I ate everything just cuz i didn't want to waste the food😐

    Dishes were served lukewarm. Some parts of the penne pasta were still cold. The sauce for the fried chicken was diluted and the consistency was too light that it could not coat the chicken pieces at all.

    Ordered takeaway for cheesy crumble pasta and aglio olio for dinner. Food looked the same as the name suggests but tasted extremely bland which was honesty quite disappointing for a restaurant that specialises in pasta.

    Affordable price and fast service. Taste is good. Pasta is a nice texture. I’d like to be one of their regular customers if I live in my neighborhood. I’m sure I’ll visit them again when I go to this area.

    Staff were attentive & friendly. Probably, the restaurant should look into updating the dining room design. Abit too gloomy. Food overall is good. However, prawn agolio was a bit too watery and tasted a bit bland. But the rest of the meal was really good 'cos my kids were able to finish their meal. Thumbs to the good service.

    Seems to be they are becoming more like Fast food style of joint at a higher end price. Very busy on a weekdat lunch. Food passable as long as you are not fussy.

  • 4/5 YAN F. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited on 3/7. Dine in at 11.30am. Ordered turkey bacon aglio pasta and honey garlic chicken. The food came quite fast as the restaurant was not very crowded either. The pasta was tasty and consistent as what i remember. The honey garlic chicken, i think the recipe changed from what i call, or the ingredient change a bit. Now its abit more skin/ more fried-crispy type. I kind of like it, not necessarily better or worse than the previous style, but not bad either.

    Level of fanatism: It was my Daughters Birthday. We went to pastamania at Bugis Junction. We got a cake from a bakery called Four Leaves which is just next to Pastamania Just when my daughter was about to cut the cake, the manager came and said we cant cut the cake as its not Halal. This is after I told that we were vegetarian(while ordering food). Later he said that we can cut but we cant use their spoon and plates and he got us plastic cutlery and disposable soup bowls to put the cake slice in as our cake would pollute their cutlery which otherwise serves all kind of non veg. Height of senselessness, fanatism and radicalism which i never expected in Singapore. FOOD: Frozen Pizza tastes better than what was served. Aglio Olio was completely off the original recipe. Waffle potatoes were good,. In all a pathetic experience.

    My first experience in this restaurant. The staff here very friendly especially Ms Win, when we order a pizza and choose the wrong crust.. She was so nice to explain to us and always wear a smiling face. We will visit this store again. And once again thanks to Ms Win let us have a very great experience here.

    I was served by Kai Lin from Bugis outlet. She was truly a very service oriented person from my view. I am from F&B industry for many years as well. Now this is what we called as service and satisfying customers needs. She was very accommodative to my request with a pleasant smile by greeting, taking up order clearly, repeat the order, handing out the order by bidding Thank you and come again. That's the service that impact regardless which ever restaurant is that... amazing and good job Kai Lin 👏

  • 5/5 nikita g. 7 months ago on Google
    The chef and i am guessing the owner is a delight! We had all of 20 mins to order and eat, and he got our order ready in 10. Sat us down comfortably and helped in ordering since we were a little confused about veg and non veg. Also the food was delicious!

  • 2/5 Helda H. 8 months ago on Google
    Everything that we ordered came tasteless; pasta, pizza, soup. Was utterly disappointed. Even with parmesan cheese it didn't elevate the taste. We had to dip our pizza in chilli sauce. Italians will be mad if the know about this. Won't come back. Quality drop. It feels like we are eating in a school cafeteria. Bad. Bad. Bad

  • 3/5 Andre C. 8 months ago on Google
    We came in just for nostalgia sake. Was just as average as I remember. Food was nothing to really shout out about but not terrible either. The wife however said the Tom Yum pasta wasn't too bad. Server wise. Had 1 really helpful and another showing that he didn't want to be there. Was always going back to the corner to use the phone and also when serving food felt very disgruntled. They also don't have water which is weird for a restaurant.

  • 3/5 Sean S. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is kinda slow. They really need more staff. You can see food that's prepared by their kitchen being left out for quite some time. Cos they just don't have the staff to service them. Also condiments are very difficult to request. By the time you get your salt and pepper, your food is getting cold.

  • 5/5 Diane 1 year ago on Google
    We loved the food! We ordered pasta pizza and some potato snacks. Very easy to order, just scan the QR code, choose your food, place the order and pay online. Food gets served fresh and hot since they cool upon order. Very nice staff. The atmosphere is very cozy. It os also very accessible at the foodcourt of Bugis Junction. Thumbs up guys!!! We will definitely come back and eat here again.

    Had a dinner with my wife at PastaMania Bugis Junction. We ordered one spicy chicken and one Marinara pasta. The seafood was fresh and nice and the chicken was not overcooked and still very tender. With the price level and services => it deserved 5 Stars rating ^^ Great food ! Nice Service !

    Visited on 3 Dec 2022 for lunch, and i had not had a carbonara for some time, and thats wat i ordered.. tastes great and not as dry.. comes with the garlic bread and soup set 😊

  • 1/5 Vincent T. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Cheese bake rice was … 🥲. Half cook rice with hard bits breaking into sand like texture in your mouth. Clearly the price has gone up from 10 years ago but the quality hasn’t. To be fair the carbonara wasn’t too bad. Will come back in another 10 years to see how it goes.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pastamania, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance and the tantalizing aroma of Italian cuisine set the stage for what would be a memorable meal. What truly stood out at Pastamania was their exceptional customer service. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making recommendations that were spot-on, especially Kia Lin It's evident that they take pride in their food and genuinely care about their customers' dining experience. Overall, my experience at Pastamania was a culinary delight. From the delectable food to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, Pastamania exceeded my expectations and left me eager to return for another unforgettable meal.

    Ordered 10" pizza and it was really small. We measured it and it was actually 8". The workers said the pizza shrunk in the oven. Im pretty sure pizza dont shrunk usually, dough supposed to expand in the oven. Pasta was watery. We ordered a dessert and it took so long. When we ask where's our dessert is, the waiter literally just walked off
