The menu features pasta, salads, sandwiches and soups. The veggie appetizer plate with art... read more

Be warned! It's too bad Loring Pasta Bar doesn't know I love writing reviews. When I leave a place sad and upset, you know the service is lacking. I had never been to Loring Pasta Bar my entire time as a student at the U of M, so this place was new to me. First of all, today was my graduation day, so I went to this place with my mom and two sisters after the ceremony. I have been feeling sad about this place since I left--sad because my mom spent so much money on me, her, and my sisters ($100), which no person should pay for... read more

Way better places in the cities than this one... – Their quality of food was trash... and paying 14 dollars for 5 small raviolis was ridiculous. Also, someone brought the birthday cake, and they charged a 2 dollar cake plate fee… It’s dinkytown…. Not downtown. Ohh then if we wanted to stay there after 10, we had to pay a 10 dollar cover… even though with the amount of people we had our tab had to have hit over a grand…. NEVER again

Wont go again unless I get a gift certificate – Wow where do I start, love the atmosphere but the service and food were terrible, we ordered our drinks and appetizer first, three minutes later literally the appetizer came to our table luke warm, drinks came five minutes after that and ordered our entree, 6 minutes later the entree came out, so in 20 minutes we were served our entire meal. The food was really salty and our table wobbled so bad it was hard to eat off the plates without worrying about spilling our drinks. The l... read more

2nd Trip-Ambiance great-but food sub-par – The seafood pasta is salt, salt ,salt. There are miniscule amounts of pasta. Please, you have a great spot, now tone down the salt and up the subtlies of flavor and, yes, some pasta in the pasta dish would be a bonus. We loved how the unbeieveable Brazilian music, almost seamlessly transformed into a salsa fiesta.

Ambience great, but food needs tweaking – One of ordered the orza and another ordered the pasta. The Orza had a nice prestentation, but was what some restaurants would call a "small" plate. Not a good value. The seafood pasta lacked....well it lacked PASTA, at least enough of it to call it a pasta dish. The seafood was hard to find, and the sauce could have used a more distinctive flavor. The server was GREAT! Everyone was very friendly and I would recommend this restaurant with the caveats mentioned. If you love Salsa danci... read more

In response to the johnbilski fan of Loring Pasta Bar – After waiting for 20 minutes for them to bus a table on a "Monday" night, and then another 20 minutes before we were even noticed or actually, before we got up ourselves and went back to the host stand...you call that service? This was our second attempt to enjoy this place after hearing so much about it. Both times...we never even got a meal. And yes, the staff does have a problem, but you must be a regular or you might even work there in order to write such a great re... read more

Sunday Brunch – I came for Sunday hoping for some nice lunch only to find them serving brunch. It was like eating at Old Country Buffet and they charged $15 per person!

Extremely Disappointed – A group of us (9) went to Loring for NYE with high expectations. The music was great, the setting was gorgeous, and the staff seemed cool and friendly. Our waitress was really nice, although slightly slow on service. It was NYE, after all, so some leniency was to be made. We order and waited. Then waited. And waited some more. Between ordering and the actual arrival of the food, it was probably and hour and a half. Good thing we had the complimentary bread, otherwise we would have starved. Two out of... read more

You Get Out Of Something What You Put Into It – Let's face it...the staff don't have a problem; you probably do. You come in from the 'burbs in your Hummer and expect some type of Oceanaire experience. The Pasta Bar isn't that place. I've never had a bad experience there. Of course, I tip well. Do you? The Loring is what it is. The bar is comfortable, the people watching great, the bread spectacular, and the staff is wise. These reviews seem to not tell the whole story - I would guess the "food send-backs" were largely quest... read more
