Been going to the Pasta Shoppe for years. The antipasto salad is fantastic and very large. The garlic bread is very good but I would agree with some of the other posts that it could be more garlicy.
Entree's are great and the pizza is one of the best. The "special" is a great combination with just enough onions but not overpowering. The sausage used for the pizza is maybe the best I've had. -

The antipasto salad is excellent, (but it is HUGE). The pizza is great and my personal favorite is the cheese tortallini (also huge). If you love butter, the garlic bread is the best. The atmosphere is lovely, with paper tablecloths that you can decorate with crayons - great for kids and adults alike.

The best thing about this place is the antipasto salad. The seasonings make it taste like pizza and the pepperonis are plentiful. Get this with a glass of wine and you're good.
If you get a full sized pasta plate, expect about a box worth of noodles on your plate. The marinara sauce tastes more like a meat sauce and most likely not vegetarian. I'm on an anti-alfredo kick right now so I probably won't ever try it.
Garlic bread = all butter, no garlic.
This place is nice, it's average, it's homey. But the pasta really isn't that special at all. -

We had a pretty nice server who was polite and funny. Awesome!
They have a wide variety of wine and a full bar. Awesome!
The place is really clean, so that's cool too.
So far so good. Then, the food comes out. Each entree comes with a side of garlic bread, which should be called butter bread. It is dripping in butter and not very garlic-y. I went with the cheese tortellini for my entree and the noodles were overcooked. Gross. The sauce they use is nothing to write home about. All in all I was not very impressed and kept thinking, I could have made this at home, and better. -

My husband and I are on the hunt for Wisconsin's best mozzarella sticks, and to date The Pasta Shoppe is our winner! The breading is crispy, the cheese is always melted and not to greasy. The sauce is really what makes it though!
We also usually share an Antipasto Salad which is perfect for two, and then finish with the cheese ravioli. It comes with verrry buttery garlic bread perfect for dipping in the great sauce.
The prices are average for an italian place, but the food is worth it. It's owned by a local family and their pride in the place really shines through. I also have their facebook fan page added and they always run great specials! -

I had high expectations for this place because it came so highly recommended from a long time resident of Port Washington. Our visit was, without a doubt, one of the worst (if not THE worst) dining experiences I have ever had, and I eat out at least 500 meals per year all over the US. The service was terrible. We were treated like second rate citizens from the moment we walked in.
An example was when we ordered the bruschetta appetizer, we never received it. When the server brought out our entrees, I mentioned it, and she said that they had run out of it (how an italian place runs out of that, I'll never know. Okay fine... until a few minutes later, we overheard the table next to us order it and (surprise) they brought it right out. This was just one of about 5 separate things that occurred during the meal.
The food was average, and could not make up for the terrible experience. Overall, the food was average to below average for italian. The most egregious error was overcooked pasta...in an italian restaurant. What a sin! -

My bloody mary was good. I ordered the baked fish and it was literally in a pool of butter. It would have tasted so much better if they would have used fresh herbs instead of the dry, shake-on herbs. The server was nice.

Homey Italian atmosphere, excellent food and an adorably inexperienced waiter made my first trip to the Pasta Shoppe memorable. We were seated in the quiet upstairs dining room with a nice view of the town street.
The mozzarella sticks and house salad were good, but the special meatball sandwich on garlic bread was delicious. To finish it off, the raspberry gelato ball dipped in chocolate was quite tasty. The food came quickly, not giving us much time to draw on the paper tablecloth with the crayons provided at each table.
The only thing worth passing on was the Midnight Martini, which was navy blue and tasted like Nyquil. Stick with traditional cocktails here.
If passing through Port Washington, don't miss this place. -

This restaurant was one of our favorites when we lived in Port. The food is great. The pizza is always good, but the Spedini is to die for. We love the atmosphere. You can draw on the paper table clothes This was key when our daughter was very very young.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Ozaukee County! The cheese and sauce are perfect. I usually have the cheese manicotti, which is delicious. Their pizza is great too. My only warning is to stay away from the mushrooms. It's obvious they come out of a can because they always taste tinny.
