Pasta Zola—Shakopee

I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about this place! We were on vacation and wanted to try something new. PHENOMENAL! We went last minute and had nothing but smiles, great service and amazing food. Will definitely be coming back if we are this way again. Big shoutout to Justin and Shawn for the amazing customer service! 15/10!

Really good pasta. The menu choices are somewhat limited, but if you like pasta, I am sure you can find something you will love. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but I understand they gotta make a living too.

This was close to a 5-star rating but not 100%. It is a great spot for a casual dinner or lunch near a nice fire with a friend but maybe not for a larger group. The prices are great for food that is fresh and well-made. I ordered out, so I missed the ambiance of staying there for long. I noticed gelato, which was a very nice addition. I ordered shells, alfredo sauce with basil pesto, and mushrooms and a breadstick and drink. The breadstick was hot and fresh (not very greasy at all). The drink would have been enough had I eaten there but it was far too small for takeout (and I ordered a large drink). They could do better with that. The pasta stayed really hot and was very good - nice large shells. The only downside there was that there really weren't a lot of mushrooms. They could be more generous with the cheaper toppings. In summary, I am sure I will go back because I think this is a great place to stop and grab food that is 'fast' but not 'fast food'. I will try lots more sauces because there are so many to choose from. I will go nuts with all the toppings and for sure have gelato when it is not below freezing outside! It is worth another shot for certain. Addendum: One more thing: They need a bigger or brighter OPEN sign. I almost backed out thinking they were closed until I saw someone leave.

Was delicious, and loved the fresh-prep-after-order system. Went for lunch, and was bit bummed that the lunch options (smaller portions) weren't really advertised - especially the pizzas. A companion of mine was disappointed that her zoodles were wildly undercooked (cool and crunchy), but the other three of us were delighted (except for the unknown lunch portion size thing). Great value for the buck, I will be back to try different combos!
