Pasta Zola - Eden Prairie

Honestly, I had a bad experience ordering from them before. They forgot my sauce on my mac and cheese but I was like whatever, it happens, honest mistake: I'll try ordering from them again. Well, I did yesterday. And now, I have food poisoning (and it wasn't my breakfast or lunch because those were homemade. Never ordering from here again. Very disappointed. Food was never that great to begin with and I've had nothing but problems.

Ordered via Foodsby at work. Order was on time hot and filling. I was not too pleased though, I ordered the tortellini with bolo meat sauce and while I got what I asked for the sauce was not as flavorful as I expected it to be; it mostly tasted like fennel and tomato. The tortellini was also rather bland, bringing to mind those big bags of dried pasta you can get at Costco. The salad looked like it was pre packaged for resale made mostly of the lettuce hearts.

5 stars based on just one visit with my daughter. Being it was in a food court, my expectations were not through the roof. She had a Mac n chesse pairing, while I had the rigatoni with meatballs in smooth red sauce. Both tasted fresh, were piping hot and the regular size was more than enough for 2 meals. Add on a very friendly wait person made our dining experience most enjoyable.

It's an okay place. Good service. Plenty of make your own options. But just so bland. I tried 3 different type of pasta combinations over the course of the year and each time was as bland as the last, even adding salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. But it's a good choice if you need gluten free or healthier options in the mall. I think I'm done with them.

The pasta tasted good and the staff were friendly. We went to the Eden Prairie location yesterday and ordered pasta with chicken. The pasta however did not have chicken in it. On going back to the counter and telling them about it, they added chicken to the pasta. They also offered free soda or bread sticks (which we declined). We went there for the second time and they missed adding one of the topping on our pasta again. Not sure if they do this purposefully!!
