   Server was a assigned to a large section with few of them being large parties and could not attend to our table. Overall dining was delayed by at least 1/2 hr. Could have easily assign 2 more servers as our server wasn’t the only one running behind

   The menu changed and not for the better. The fried mozzarella is no longer individual pieces, it's one big 1 lb. square breaded and fried hunk of cheese that has to be awkwardly cut up at the table. All gravies (sauces) tasted like they were from a can and lacked flavor. Linguine was served without spoons to twirl the pasta. Overall quality of the food was disappointing and not worth the increased price. Too bad because the service was as great as it usually is. I was a frequent guest and have been disappointed with the changes and won't be back.

   My wife and I have gone to Pasta Cucina a number of times, and have always had a great experience. In fact, Pasta Cucina was one of our date night restaurants. Again, “was” being the operative word. This time was so bad we’ll never go back. They clearly changed the menu, and removed Cacio e Pepe, which is crazy considering the ingredients are pasta, cheese, black pepper, and pasta water. They also no longer offer angel hair pasta. But more on that later. We ordered the Fried Mozzarella as the appetizer. Normally, it comes in small triangles, with plenty of marinara, seasoned and baked to a nice golden brown. Now, with the menu change, it’s a brick of mozzarella (about 4x4, and about an inch and a half thick), covered in a quarter inch thick panko breading, completely unseasoned. And they set it on top of the sauce, causing the bottom to get soggy. We had to ask for extra marinara, which tasted like Ragu from the jar. We didn’t finish it, but we tried. Next, were the entrées. My wife ordered Chicken Parm, and I ordered Chicken Alfredo with lots of black pepper (trying to get close to Cacio e Pepe). The food came out fairly quickly, but when we started eating, that’s where things soon went down the drain. My fettuccine was soft and mushy, the chicken was completely dried out, and not only was there no extra black pepper, there was no seasoning whatsoever. My wife’s food: her spaghetti was also over cooked and mushy. And the breading on the chicken was soft and not crunchy. And the chicken itself was also mushy. Ew. We were done at that point, and asked to speak with a manager. She came over and we told her our complaints. She proceeded to tell us that they no longer use box pasta, they now use premade pasta, and if the kitchen cooks it too much, it’ll get mushy. Way to throw your staff under the bus, but I digress. So, the pasta is essentially reheated after being precooked at some point earlier. (Which is why no angel hair pasta) We’re not going back.

    Meals were so, so. We eat here often, and place not packed, so not sure what cooks were doing. Took almost 40 minutes from order to serve main dish. Clams cold in one dish. Salad mix looked a week over use by date. Overall a poor meal.
