I've been trying all the Italian restaurants in the area and this is a new favorite. Great place for high quality traditional Italian American dishes at very reasonable prices. I recommend the linguini scampi. The six large shrimp were cooked appropriately and the pasta was nicely al dente. The sauce was subtle and all the flavors well balanced. Not too much garlic, oil, or lemon – just right. And OMG, finally a restaurant that knows to remove the tail and shell from shrimp when it goes into a sauce! Because who wants to get their fingers all messy from holding saucy shrimp by the tail? No one, that’s who. The gnocchi sorrento was appropriately rich. The gnocchi themselves were quite good; the tomato sauce was simple and not bad. The mozzarella cheese might have been just a bit excessive for me, though I expect most people would love this. I added some parmesan cheese from the table for extra saltiness and flavor. 16 hours later I think I can still feel this dish sitting in my stomach; I should probably fast today. The namesake pasta fazool soup was just pretty good. The pasta in the soup was nicely al dente, which most restaurants can’t seem to achieve. The bread served to each table is fresh and warm. It’s not Italian bread, and not great, but reasonably flavorful. We did not order dessert, but from peeking at other diners’ tables, it looked good. Dining room can be drafty when the weather is cold. I kept my coat on the whole time. Service was professional, friendly, prompt. We appreciated the complementary chocolatecello shots at the end of our meal. The prices here are very reasonable for the quality and volume of food you get, though be aware that the specials do come with a price bump. Stick with on-menu items for value, and specials to splurge.

the added chicken was like 5-6.99 buttt it actually was a decent amount, and the pasta was great. only thing i recommend is adding your own garlic salt to zhuzh it up then it's 5 stars and 1 serving is enough for like 2-3 nights of dinner or enough to split with someone else if you aren't feeling super hungry

An absolute unassuming hidden gem- you would think you are on Arthur Ave in The Bronx, North Boston or South Philly- but you are in the suburbs in a shopping center. Amazing service- great prices.

Let me start by saying Pasta Fazool is a Hidden Italian Gem restaurant located in Hatboro PA. Melissa and I started with fresh Nonna bread dip with (Olive Oil w/olive fresh pieces and Parmesan cheese). The side salad was refreshing. I ordered the Filet Tips which was rich and flavorful with portabella mushrooms. Melissa had their Eggplant parm. Our meals were huge portions. The owner Sergio is an AMAZING chef who cooks with love . Top this wonderful experience we had such excellent service from Savannah who was a sincere and kind server. She loves her role and is passionate continuing to be apart of this amazing family and brand. Lastly, we had the homemade ice creams Chocolate & Tiramisu. Alll must try’s!!!!

This cozy little place, but it still fit 10 of us comfortably! Excellent meal! I had the long hots as an app and the branzino over linguine for my dinner. Positively freaking yummy and giant portions.... and this was the consensus of everyone at the table! Our server was excellent also! Other dinners at the table included broccoli rabe and sausage, raviolis, tortellini with shrimp and veggies, chicken Parmesan. Everything was a 5. Delicious! Thank you! It made our little celebration of my niece joining the Air Force National Guard a perfect one

Really incredible surprise! Fairly basic parking lot with this hidden gem of a restaurant. We had 5 different dinners within our group, all were great. Great flavor, huge portions, reasonable prices AND great wait staff. Thanks!

When you look on Google maps, you probably wouldn’t jump for joy to eat here. Located in a dumpy little strip mall next to a quick mart, the outside does not match the experience inside. This is a quaint small Italian restaurant that was packed on a Saturday night. It had a very homey feel. We had a reservation for a party of 6 and had no issues being seated right away. The service was great. The food was high quality. We shared a few salads as an appetizer. The Caesar, a classic, was very good and stood out. It is BYOB so was nice to have our own wine and drinks. The service was very good and they helped us open our bottles. I had the chicken parm for my entree over angel food and it was excellent. The chicken was crispy while still having a hefty amount of sauce and cheese, which is a hard balance to achieve. I would highly recommend! At the end of the night they offered our group complimentary chocolate vodka shots, which were a nice touch! I will definitely dine here again. Again, do not judge this restaurant by the location!
