Pasta & Co.

4.5 stars (Bellevue Location)
My biggest complaint is the price; while the cost for some of the items is understandable, some of them — like the roast chicken — seem high.
I love their quality, and have to disagree with Brittany who says they are a glorified QFC. They don’t use anything artificial and aside from obviously manufactured off-​site items, (like pickles, chutneys), it is made in house. Their kale & black-​eyed pea salad is just delicious! It’s tossed in a light vinigarette, with a nice balance of Beechers to give it creamy-​ness. I’ve purchased their grilled veggies to augment an antipasto plate when I didn’t have time to do it myself and they were a little expensive, although the veggies tasted good.
This is also the only place I have ever found that has handmade pasta, and I love it! I usually buy the lasagna sheets, but have tried several stuffed pastas and they are all good. I have a pasta maker at home but it doesn’t work well with my countertops and then I lost the clamp. Bah! So I can still make lasagna with FRESH noodles, (which I prefer), thanks to Pasta & Co.
That being said, I haven’t tried one thing here I didn’t like the taste of — from their turkey meatballs to their pasta sauces and salads, I have enjoyed every one. They are fresh and full of flavour, and the employees will give you tastes if you ask.
I give them almost a perfect score because as far as I am concerned they fill a nice niche, their food is amazing and service is helpful… I just wish the price on some of their items was a little more reasonable. The aforementioned French roasted chicken with fresh herbs is around $ 10 for half of a small bird. They used to have a third location, near Redmond Town Centre, but that unfortunately closed; I wish there were more of them, because parking at their current location, (they share a lot with Starbucks, Mephisto and See’s Candy’s), can be hit or miss.

This is a great place to pick up some healthy food made from local ingredients and no artificial flavoring. It’s on the pricier side, but the food is good. They have a range of proteins and sides to choose from in the fridge, and they’re happy to cut anything to however many pounds you want or split anything in separate containers. We usually come here when we want to get some food for a picnic, so this place is really nice for already-​made, healthy food. You can also eat inside where the server will serve you after ordering at the counter. They do have cold and hot sandwiches and soups of the day, which is made on site, so not in the fridge. Also, there are some specialty items that you can purchase such as squid ink pasta and Beecher’s cheese. Parking is usually easy to find, and it’s never too crowded inside.

I LOVE to drop in here, and take home wonderful takeout. There are usually some great samples too, that end up being exactly what I need to buy too.

My favorite place in Bellevue! Best grill cheese ever!!! Best chicken & orzo salad… I love taking new friends here because they always leave so happy! Also, the frozen bread you take home is amazing…

Two stars based solely on experience with ordering a sandwich. I paid $ 11 for essentially a roll with lettuce and one slice of meat. I couldn’t believe when I separated the bread, there was literally one slice of prosciutto.
As others have mentioned the store is nice and has a lot of high end groceries. However this is more of a small grocery store, than it is a deli. As others stated there are too many options and their lunch menu is to crowded/​confusing.
High price for very small portion.

Just went in and accidentally bought something with green onions in it, which I’m allergic to. The ingredient wasn’t listed on the description, but I noticed them in there before I started eating. Luckily, the guy working was SUPER nice and let me return the dish, and he even offered me a free cookie. Not necessary, but very impressed with his customer service. You have a great employee, and I will happily be a loyal customer because of him! Thank you :)

I just find their food so mediocre (not to mention overpriced). It all tastes exactly the same. It all his this distinctive «pasta & co» flavor. Pepper and vague plastic. Everything I’ve ever had here. At least they sell Beecher’s flagship reserve and frozen macaroni.

PROS:
Excellent food
Gourmet ingredients
Easy to order
Friendly staff
Free samples
CONS:
A little on the pricey side, but well worth it! So not really a con… ;)
Summary:
I stopped here for lunch on a whim and I was delightfully surprised. It’s hard to find a little gourmet shop such as Pasta & Co. I ordered the Tomato Cheddar Soup and the House Pasta Salad. Both were equally delicous. The pasta was a little heavy, but that’s becuase of the type of pasta used. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would highly recommend this place lunch, or pickup for dinner at home.

I like that a shop like this exists! It makes picking up comfort food so easy :) I enjoy the selections of items they have, and customer service is top notch.
why only 3 stars? just a bit on the pricey side, and not the best pasta i’ve had. Lasagna comes out pretty runny after heating it up. But its good. I can’t wait to come back and try their desserts, which looks amazing (pretty, sophisticated, and generous slices.)
Also. its a very cute place. Would like to sit down and eat it in sometime. Try a sandwich and piece of cake is on my to do list.

I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and it was amazing! Everything smelled so good and all the samples were delicious. My mom and I split the turkey panini and it was perfect, the bread was grilled and the chipotle mayo added a yummy spicy taste. It was my first time here and I will definitely be back to try more of the pastas and salads.

Our family loves Pasta & Company. We have been shopping here for over 10 years. All the pasta is super fresh. Soups are great for lunch. We also enjoy there ceased salad dressing and homemade croutons. There romaine lettuce is always fresh too! All there side salads are wonderful. The lentil and the sautéed vegetables are fabulous. Desserts are great here as well. Everything is fresh NO preservatives! Great place to grab lunch they have some awesome sandwiches! Lot’s of room to sit inside and out!

This food is so yummy. The cheeses are so delish and they have samples throughout for you to try while you are waiting for your food. (I would recommend the tomatillo salsa, it was to die for) yummy soups and pasta salads as well. My only complaint is that it was a little pricy for the portion sizes.

Stumbled here by accident and was looking for a quick lunch to grab and go. Sensory overload with all the delicious salads on the display!
Great that you are also able to sample them first! I decided on a Celery Root and Shrimp salad (it looks like pasta but way healthier) and a Tomato Cheddar soup. Filling and full of flavour, for both! I would love to come back and try out more of their menu items.

I work in the same center and do my best to avoid this over priced deli. Some food is good but most is not. What is prompting me to write this is I ordered a roast beef sandwich today… it was $ 12 and the small amount of beef was mostly gristle. What a waste. If you purchase any prepared food, taste before hand.

I thought Pasta & Co. was a very solid and excellent establishment, offering a variety of foods, local goods, and take-​home options. It’s a semi-​deli, serving prepared foods ranging from vegetarian options to classic meatloaf. All of the ingredients, from what I understand, are organic, which I thought was really cool. You can also determine how much you want of everything because it’s sold by the lb and is portioned out as you go.
I had the Summer Quinoa Salad, which was quinoa with red peppers, green onions, basil, olive oil, and a little lime. It was great. I also had the grilled prawns, which were fantastic. They were large and really really flavorful. Usually grilled prawns or shrimp are a hit or miss, and these were definitely right on the money. I finished my meal off with Apple Crisp, which was awesome.
The staff was extremely friendly and personable, and offered us samples of anything they had to offer.
The only slight drawback was that it was a little expensive for the serving size. I got 6 prawns and they were roughly $ 8 alone… but I also am aware there is a global shrimp shortage right now, so it’s not exactly surprising. Overall, if I get a chance, I’m definitely going to go back because there were a lot of other items that I would definitely want to try.

Came by for lunch today and the place was pretty crowded. I thought they would have a bigger selection of ready to eat pasta but they only had 4 options today. I had the Mexican chicken orzo and it was okay. It was a bit dry and I think I had better orzo. I got a small and it was already $ 7.xx. not worth it IMO.

I usually come here to eat their a la carte food selections in the display with my friends or to eat their panini sandwiches (love their unique sandwich names too).
Not everything I tried here were great, and you are definitely getting reheated dishes if you want them warm. But the food is generally above the average, and I find this place to be a good place to have conversation with friends.
There was one time they forgot about the food they were supposed to reheat and give it to us on the table. To make up for their mistake, they kindly offered us to choose from any dessert for free, and a red velvet cake we chose was so good that I still can’t forget about.

Establishment was nicely furnished clean tables and bright atmosphere. Only a handful of tables because its a grab and go kind of place. The cashiers are well mannered and are sensitive to making recommendations.
If you’re willing to pay a little more for good quality food this is the right place. They are very thoughtful about being environmentally conscious and recycling is a priority. Metal forks paper napkins.

This is a quaint pasta and sandwich shop next to the Bellevue Square mall. Considering that the mall itself has very little food options (no food court!), this is definitely one of the better eatery options around here.
The food is NOT cheap though. A small sandwich will run you upwards of $ 10+. There are a lot of sides that you can pick but their prices per pound seem kind of outrageous.
I had the proscuitto sandwich and it was pretty good. The bread was chewy. They even threw in a small size of macaroni pasta salad. It was good. However, I don’t eat that much in general so the portion size, while small, filled me up, but I think this would not be enough food for most folks.
The service is good and there is a lot of seating available. It’s just a bit expensive, especially for lunch!

I stopped in to pick up some lunch because I was short on time and since I passed pasta & co all the time but never had an opportunity to check it out, I figured now was the better than ever.
First of all, the selection of pasta will overwhelm you. In a good way. I ordered half a pound of the house pasta with the smoked cheese and spinach. It was delicious. There was more cheese than there was pasta (good or bad, you decide). I also grabbed one of the chocolate truffle cookies… so good and so rich. I wish it had been chewy and not crispy though (I love a chewy cookie more than anything).
All in all, I had a great first experience here!
