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

Very cool surroundings, interesting food choices, and slow service – I have recently discovered Loring Pasta Bar, I absolutly love the atmosphere but the service is slow and the staff is not very friendly. I have age there twice now and the food was not as hot as I would have liked, this might be because the place is awfully drafty. Overall I liked it, mainly due to the decor.

Great atmosphere...and that's about it – Servers didn't have a very good attitude, they give you small portions (no refills on the small bread basket), my food was bland and lukewarm and there wasn't much of it, and too expensive for that kind of low quality. Me and my boyfriend were both still hungry and walked over to Annie's Parlour...there's a place that looks run down, but the food is amazing and the servers are really nice, helpful, and funny. I'd skip the overpriced atmosphere at Loring Pasta Bar for some great food a... read more

If you're looking to meet up with someone and spend some time chatting, Loring Pasta Bar is a great spot. Definitely not "fast-food" (my table for two spent about 2 hours here). Which is actually a nice chance of pace compared with restaurants that want to get you out and turn the table around as fast as possible. Food was decent, not worth raving over. Additionally, parking is quite a chore. Not so sure I cared so much for the wait-staff's attitude either - however, it definitely gets the job done and of course, like everyo... read more

Great ambiance - poor service - lukewarm food – We visited the Loring Pasta Bar on Sunday, September 14th '08 at 6:30 pm. Seated upstairs, there was one waitress for the entire area and she was either bored, tired, hungover or a combination of all three. She put the minimum of effort into service and it took nearly 20 minutes for the glass of wine I'd ordered to arrive (after being told that they "didn't really have Zinfandel" so I changed my order to a sauvignon blanc which was good. On a positive note, the waitress didn't ... read more

Average food, student discounts – The food is average and the menu seems to change at the drop of a hat. The food is expensive for what you get, unless you're a student, then you get a pretty good student discount. It takes a long time to get your food, so don't be in a rush to get anywhere afterwards.

inconsistent service – I've been to the Pasta Bar on three separate occasions. The first was a great romantic dinner. The service was flexible and attentive, the food was good and the vibe was good. We ordered one of the coursed meals and they accommodated a substitution request and made good wine recommendations. The second time they were completely inflexible with an order saying we had to order champagne with that save coursed meal and refused to substitute the same item we had previously been able to. The food was still ... read more

Best Dancing In MN – I dont know about the food, I have never gotten around to eating there however it is my favorite place to go for dancing. Almost everyone there can dance! Its far from the likes of conga, jun bo, pantano or el rodeo. Its actually a nice place. The drinks are cheap and relatively strong.

best student prices, discount, atmosphere! – The staff is incredibly friendly, and service is prompt. I'm a student at the adjacent University of Minnesota and REALLY appreciate the AMAZING 30% off (!!!!!!) discount for students. The prices are incredibly reasonable in the first place, and their respect for the university neighbors is remarkable. The atmosphere is beautiful and obvious care is taken to ensure a romantic and dream-like experience. The upper mezzanines are otherworldly, I highly recommend wandering around and ... read more

Worst Customer Treatment I have ever experienced! – I had a reservation at the Loring Pasta Bar for next week. Made the reservation a month ago. My six friends and new husband were going to be celebrating our new nuptials. They called today to state they were "cancelling my reservation because a wedding decided to book the restaurant" In other words, a better deal came along and they don't need my money. Needless to say I voiced my concerns. I was told "you need to understand this is a special day for them!!' So in other wor... read more
