Good, but not great Italian food.service was good. The garlic bread could have had more garlic on it.
Isabel is amazing. Made my mom's birthday extra special. Food and service were timely and delicious.
Pasta Jays is better than some of the big time Italian chains back in Denver. This is the second time my work crew and I come here for the food and service. We arrived on a Monday evening. 5 people, got sat down right away with no reservation. Our waitress was great, thank you so much Carmen. The ambiance of this place is cute and charming. Don't come here if you're gonna complain about the decor. 5 of 5. Go get you some pasta dude!!
We stopped in for a pizza after a long day of hiking. I was expecting average pizza.... Anything would have done the job, we were just hungry. Let me tell you, this wasn't average pizza. We ordered the Jays Roman Orgy, and it was perfect. Everything was so fresh. Large slices of green bell pepper, thick piece of sausage, and a crispy (but not too crispy) crust. The service was also super fast! Would definitely recommend!
Cute Italian restaurant, great family feel. Stopped in on a Wednesday night which was the lasagna special. Each night has a designated special. I had the lasagna , my husband had manicotti. Both had same marinara sauce. Very heavy, rich, deep burgundy red sauce. Lasagna was piled high. It had a good flavor and consistency, but didn't really like the way the meat was layered. But all in all, a good solid meal. I had a dinner salad as well, fresh and a lovely slice of beet! Topped it off with a nice Merlot, pleasant meal, had a warm and cozy feel. Service was great. Just under $$$, for two dinners, a salad, a wine and a beer and fantastic garlic bread!
I usually tend to avoid Italian restaurants because I am never quite satisfied with what I order. However, this restaurant is an exception to that! Sat outside on the patio, and although it was a hot day, it was comfortable. The waiter was attentive and provided excellent service. I decided to order the Baked Lorenzo, which utilizes a tomato cream sauce. The sauce was so delicious, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. The garlic bread complimented the meal perfectly, but wasn't the best garlic bread I have had. Overall, very satisfied with my meal and experience here and would definitely be curious to try out some of the other dishes.
This is a fun Italian place in the heart of Moab. It does seem to attract an older crowd, but the service is wonderful. They kept our drinks filled regularly and brought whatever we requested quickly. The food is delicious! The garlic bread is something I crave, and the pesto pizza with pepperoni and sausage is glorious! They have a huge salad as well that is served with your choice of dressing. Their Italian dressing is wonderful!
After a day of visiting Arches NP, pasta was needed for a recharge. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and was offered penne pasta with it. The chicken was really good, loved the sauce! Portion size was excellent. But I did not care for the penne, to me the pasta was undercooked. I should have asked for spaghetti noodles instead. It was a busy Saturday night, server was friendly but seemed distracted. They have patio service as well which would be great for people watching. My friends enjoyed their meals, rigatoni pasta and the big stuffed shells.
