I was born in Italy and came over when I was 8 years old. I have been exposed to good homemade Italian food for many years. I could never find a good Italian restaurant that served good authentic Italian food until I tried Pasta Plus. On a scale of 1 to 10, it rates a 10. I eat at Pasta Plus at least 3 times a week and travel far to get there.
I live in Burtonsville and Pasta Plus is the Absolute Best Restaurant of any kind near my house. All the food is fresh and much care is taken in the preparation. I have eaten in & carried out and have never been disappointed. The market side is great for people with kids as you can get yourself a lovely adult meal & bottle of wine, swing by McDonalds for the kids & everybody is happy!! Plus the variety is excellent you can get it all here - pasta - seafood - veal - pizza - soup - salad - sandwiches - crusty fabulous bread - dessert. I Love the Canolli!!! All in all it is great food at great prices. You can't miss at Pasta Plus!!!
We have been going to Pasta Plus for almost 20 years. It is our family's favorite restaurant. The food and service is always exceptional.
The food is fabulous and the service is top notch. It's the perfect place to dine for a special night out or for a weeknight out with the kids. Every other Italian restaurant is judged against Pasta Plus, though no other restaurant comes close. Their carry out menu is excellent as well. Max Mazziotti can usually be found wandering around the dining room greeting customers. He knows the regulars by name, including my family. You know when you go there that you will have an excellent dining experience. The food will be cooked to perfection, and the waitstaff will be friendly and courteous despite being very busy. We love Pasta Plus.
Fine food, well prepared, attentive staff. I try to go there as often as possible. Perhaps the best restaurant in PG County.
Excellent & unique food prepared and seasoned to perfection, excellent and congenial service, and personal attention to every table by Max, the owner of Pasta Plus. Max visits every table throughout the dinner hours. When I want to show off the fine restaurants we have here to out-of-town guests, we head to Pasta Plus.
We love this restaurant, best food, best service and best value for the price. We go there for lunch almost every Sat or whenever we are in town. John is our favorite waiter.
Great meals complimented with great service. The owners actually come out and check on you.
Excellent food - the best and most authentic in all of Maryland. By far, better than Baltimore's Little Italy. Superb service. Courteous and kind servers. Extemely well managed. Try the veal pizziola and fried calamari!
Pasta Plus is certainly the best restaurant in Laurel and it may well be the best Italian restaurant in the USA. I moved from Maryland to Arizona for a new job and I've been searching since I got here for a restaurant to replace it - nothing has come close. I've eaten in NJ and IL Italian restaurants with the same result. Pasta Plus is the best!
I've been to over 40 countries on 5 continents, including Italy 12 times. Pasta Plus is the Italian Restaurant by which I measure all others. The sauces and pizzas are perfect, authentic, and consistent time after time. In addition to the restaurant there is a carry out market attached. Your favorite sauces, meatballs, and complete dishes may be taken home to enjoy at your leisure. The Italian submarine sandwich uses only the highest quality ingredients and deli meats, on bread made from scratch on the premises. The fontinella cheese puts it a cut above any other establishment's offering of this American classic.
we have dined at Pasta Plus for over eighteen years, at least twice a month. Their food quality has remained at the highest standards, their service is great, their wine selection is outstanding and their presentations are fantastic. In our opinion, it's the best Italian restaurant in the Washington/Batimore metropolitan area.
Everyone in our family loves Pasta Plus! Every item we have ever ordered there has been LOVELY--not just good, not just delicious; it's all superb! Of course, we don't want too many more people to find out about it, or we won't be able to get a table!
The food is better than the Italian restaurants in Little Italy. The service is thoughtful, and the prices are very reasonable.
A great business is appreciated at all times, Pasta Plus is great at customer satisfaction you notice it when you eat in and even more when you carry out. The food is DELICIOUS!
Great server - Virginia. Always pleasant, efficient and you get what you order quickly. Wonderful fresh fish, delicious bread, fresh vegetables, even the water is good (believe it or not, we had weird tasting water in another Italian restaurant recently) home made pasta and sauce. Owner is always present on Saturday evening to great you and asks for your feed back! They even make you a fresh pot of coffee when you come in later in the evening and it might have been sitting for a while - they aim to please. Our family loves Pasta Plus.
I have enjoyed Pasta Plus almost since its opening. We came often from work for luncheons, and with the exception of being out of the country for 7 years a while back, have frequented the place ever since. The food reminds me of the food I ate when I was a kid in Italy, and it is much better than any of the chain restaurants. I'll always come back to Pasta Plus because I am always made welcome by Max, Sabatino, and their wonderful staff, and that's how it should be!!!
Excellent food, friendly service, very reasonable prices, a decent wine menu, and a great deli right next door!
The friendly atmosphere and willingness to please every customer. I have been a customer and employee and I can definitely say I feel right at home
They serve the best Italian food I've tasted outside of Italy. Everything is delicious. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing.
The gourmet food at Pasta Plus should be classified in the top Five restaurants in the entire U.S.A. You will not find a more charismatic owner of a restaurant that Senor Massimo Mazziotti. It is indeed a joy to dine in his establishment and the price is RIGHT; ever so reasonable. As a special treat to Pasta Plus patrons, and again at a reasonable price, Senor Mazziotti hosts a ten day Wine and Gourmet Food tour annually to different areas of Italy. An absolute fabulous trip. Everyone in the D.C. area should visit this restaurant to experience what excellent Italian food is all about!!!!
Fresh pasta-perfect every time...great salad dressing and wonderful marinara sauce.
Pasta Plus in Laurel has great Italian food and ambiance, and the price is right! The wait staff is efficient and attentive, and the owner (Max) is charmingly Italian, and seems to always remember his clientele.
Pasta Plus tickles my kids' fancy! We drive 20 miles just to eat there. My kids love their quality and variety, and the service is always SUPERB! Let's not forget that the price is just right! Thanks, Pasta Plus. We will be back!
Food is delicious and consistent. Made from their family recipes,you can taste the love. The wait staff is never disappointing and the cucina like surroundings are very pleasing. There is a definite feeling that the owners want your experience to be satisfying and relaxing.
By far, the best Italian restaurant in its price category - the humble exterior belies the fabulous pasta dishes and friendly atmosphere - it's one of the hidden treasures of Laurel and is far superior to anything in Little Italy - service is very good - many of the wait staff have been there a long time - pasta is always cooked just right and the sauces are wonderful - if you eat here once, you'll become a regular!
Authentic Italian food and a great atmosphere. Max is the best when it comes to creating superb Italian cuisine.
The food tastes like real Italian food. The atmosphere is great. The service is good and the owner stops by to say hello.
The people are friendly, the service is excellent and the food is wonderful, with an atmosphere that is relaxing and beautiful. I would recommend Pasta Plus to anyone, anytime.
If you have never been to Pasta Plus then it is time to go. The food is authentic Italian cooking. My husband and I have been going to Pasta Plus for twenty years. I can't even begin by naming any particular dish, they are all delicious. The moment the warm homemade bread is placed on the table you are pretty much hooked. The appetizers are worth going for in itself, but you will not want to stop there. If it is pasta you are craving then look out for the best homemade pasta dishes. The seafood dishes are superb. The tomato sauces are different according to the dish ordered, which is a rarity in most Italian restaurants. The atmosphere is inviting and the people working to serve you could not be any friendlier. I could go on but it's best you go and check it out for yourself. One more thing: do not think about leaving with out one of their many homemade desserts.
