Pasta Co-Op

The Pasta Co-​Op is awesome and the food is delicious! I don’t understand the negative reviews. They make the pasta fresh from scratch, well worth the ten minute wait! Tom helped us and was so great/​informative on the company and food options. It’s nice that they have menu options and/​or build your own pasta. I ordered the Vermont Mac n Cheese with truffle oil and mushrooms — it was so delish! My husband ordered the Truffle Bolognese made with Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage — also delicious. We will definitely be back soon, especially with the awesome outdoor location! Also, good to note — you can order online!

Would love to give them more stars, because the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was very friendly (well the tall blonde guy was, however the other guy working, and the girl did not speak).
Anyway, I ordered my food at 7:29, printed on my receipt, and was told that it would be less than 10 minutes, fast forward to 7:44 when I finally received my meal… I understand the pasta is cooked fresh, but I really feel they should make the pasta for each individual customer, instead of waiting for several orders before cooking the meals — would cut down on the first person’s wait time.

Working in Crocker park, I visit pasta co-​op regularly where the food and service is always superb. Thomas and the rest of the staff each bring unique talent and provide world class service. Thom is always experimenting with the menu, creating new culinary experiences, which he and his staff deliver in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend trying one of his many pasta bowls, which come from house made pasta and fresh ingredients.

Horrible service. It takes them forever to make your meal, and when you ask the employees look at you dumbfounded, and say, «Umm… I don’t know.» Thankfully we got a refund. Hopefully they go out of business.

This is defiantly a must eat at Crocker Park. The pasta is amazing and perfectly cooked

I’ve eaten here 3 times and every single time it has been delicious. I love that the menu is small but no matter what you get you won’t be disappointed. I love the Mac and cheese and the Alfredo pasta and I added chicken peas and mushrooms to it!

Pasta was great, flavor was great for a fast food kinda spot. The guys that took my order and gave me advice on what to order were fantastic! Great customer service, very personable. This place is such a niched find, made in house gourmet pasta and sauce. You guys should definitely come to Chattanooga Tenn and start a food truck, you would kill! If you do follow this advice remember Castwell!

I’ve eaten here once and loved it. Tried to go there at least another 4 times but they always close early. I called a hour and half before they closed (which was suppose to be at 9) and asked if I come up will they be there and the girl actually told me that she closing now. :(I’m done giving this place tries but if you can get there miraculously when the girls don’t want to close up they actually have pretty decent pasta

hands down the best pasta I’ve had in the Cleveland area! my favorite bowl is the sweet corn alfredo, the sauce is so flavorful! it’s cool you can see them make the pasta and everything tastes so fresh. good portions for the price too! definitely want to try the seasonal flavors next time.

Outstanding Alfredo pasta dinner! I’m impressed!!! The Co-​op has a flavorful menu to suit just about any palate. The pasta is fresh-​made on site and the sauces are exceptional. I know this from personal experience, as well as, from my dining companions. I’ve recommended Pasta Co-​op to several acquaintances who heartedly agree. Also, the alfresco dining is as close to an Italian/​European experience you’ll find almost anywhere in NE Ohio. Did I also mention… the service is fast and friendly! You can’t ask for more. Trust me!

Visiting Crocker Park for the first time from NY and decided to try Pasta Co-​op. Pasta was cooked perfectly– firm but not rubbery. I had the Alfredo, my husband had the bolognese and my daughter opted to mix/​match her own creation. Everything was tasty and well worth the price. Dining outdoors and watching the people go by was great. Nice place to visit and I’d definitely go back if I lived in the area!

So good! Alfredo Chicken and Spicy Shrimp were both delic! Portions were good and tasty! For sure coming back! In my opinion better than Piada.

I love pasta co-​op! Food was good service was great especially the girl working cashier named Brooke! She was so helpful in helping me decide what to order

Just OK. Cajun Shrimp pasta was definitely not worth $ 10 with only four shrimp and sauce from a bottle taste. The Vermont Mac & Cheese at $ 8 was over priced as well and was not delivered with the originally pickup since they forget it was on the ticket. Had to wait additional time and was disappointed with the meal.
Staff was friendly, but for these prices the quality of the pasta needs to be better.

Have passed it many times but this is was the first time my husband and I actually tried it. We ordered the Truffle Bolognese and the Sweet Corn Pest with BBQ chicken based on Unilocal recommendations and neither did disappoint. The pasta was al dente and the sauces were delicious and just the right amount. Overall great service and great food!

I wanted pasta so my husband and I saw this place at Crocker Park. My choices were Brio or this new pasta place. We decided to eat at the co-​op. $ 25.00 for two pasta bowls and two sodas. I got Pomodoro and my husband got spicy shrimp. I love pasta but not this pasta. The turkey meatballs were good but the sauce was thick like tomato paste. It tasted like it was burned. I ate it as I was hungy and since I am not working I wasn’t about to waiste dinner. Husband didn’t like his either. I was going to say something but the girls were busy. I only gave 1 star for the service. The girls were nice.

After hearing from my coworkers about how much they love Pasta Co-​op I decided to visit.
The menu is very simple and prices are around $ 7-​$ 9 for pasta that comes in a decent portion. You can choose from their signature dishes or create your own. Also you can add extras such as shrimp or truffle oil if wanted for an upcharge.
I tried the pasta pomodoro which was pasta with a chunky red sauce, basil, and fresh parmesan cheese. I found the noodles to be cooked perfectly al dente which is the main body of this dish. The sauce was sweet yet tangy but also slightly greasy which is ok. There was basil in this dish which I could not pick up the taste. That said I did love the parmesan cheese which gave this dish the body it needs.
One important note, this is a cart so you pick up at the window and take your food to go. They have nice plastic (recycled?) bowls with lids so that you will have no troubles taking your pasta with you. Also, its cooked when you order so it takes 5 – 7 minutes but worth the wait IMO.
All in all I say Pasta Co-​Op is pretty good place for pasta lovers.

Pasta! If I was a religious man I’d be Pastafarian.
Yum, I love pasta. I also love pasta that is NOT al dente, all the time. I’ve ordered this overpriced bowl of undercooked noodles two too many times. There won’t be a third even when they reopen this spring. I can get better and less expensive pasta at Brio to-​go.
I’m happy to see a local business in Crocker Park considering they kicked out the other local business that did such great corned beef sandwiches forcing them to transform into a Nathan’s Hot Dog stand. Lower the uppity Westlake prices and cook your noodles for longer or at a higher temperature and I may return.

This unassuming outdoor stand has become one of my favorite spots in Crocker Park and an extremely welcome relief from its neighboring stands (Auntie Annie’s, the horribly overpriced Nathan’s, and Subway). The menu is limited to a handful of options, but my personal favorite is the Sweet Corn Pesto with BBQ Chicken. The sweet BBQ sauce really drives the flavor of the pasta bowl, and the glazed carrots offer nice highlights. The corn pesto seems to add more texture than flavor (though possibly it’s simply overpowered by the BBQ sauce). My second favorite is the Vermont Mac & Cheese – a simple preparation featuring a decadently rich cheese sauce.
Of course, the fresh pasta is a highlight. It is also, though, a bit of a limitation as the only noodle available is a somewhat thick, tubular corkscrew (I think cavatappi). In a perfect world, some fresh fettuccine or tagliatelle would pair well with the Spicy Shrimp Alfredo or the Truffle Bolognese. Regardless, Pasta Co-​Op fills a nice niche of good food that can be served relatively quickly for the Crocker Park crowd.

I’ve been here about 4 times now and really enjoy their pasta choices. The portions are very large and the prices are great for how much you get. I usually make my own pasta but will definitely try others on my next visit. My only knock is I wish they had a whole wheat or multigrain pasta option. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving some pasta.
