Tua Pasta Bartow

"This was a good and bad experience. The atmosphere was nice and cozy but too chilly for me. The appetizers, Arancini and Empanadas, were delicious! My friends had the Pappardelle Bolognese, Cajun Chicken Soup, and the Pasta Tua salad, and were happy. My problem is the Caesar Salad was tasteless! I asked for salt and pepper, and it didn't help! Then I asked for more dressing and that didn't help. How could they mess that up? Manuel took the salad away apologized. My guests had wine and I stuck with water, but I had to ask for Manuel to fill my glass and after that I just took it from my guests. No one wanted dessert but I was happy to find out they had decaf Espresso; however, it was terribly bitter. He took that away as well. When he brought the bill, he said he had deducted the salad and espresso. I thanked him and paid the check. Upon closer review this morning I found out he had only deducted the Espresso. Carefully review your check before you leave!"

"Went in for lunch. Immediate greeted and taken to a table by the window looking out to Main Street. They had a brunch and lunch menu available which while limited had something for most people. Food came out at a good pace, service was on point, and everything tasted great. We left full and happy."

"This was our first visit and it had highs and lows. We ordered an appetizer that was fantastic it was eggplant fries with red sauce for dipping. We also enjoyed their bread with herb butter. For entrees we ordered eggplant Parmesan and a ribeye steak. The eggplant came with their homemade pasta which was delicious, the eggplant felt under seasoned and I was a little disappointed. The steak, asparagus, and potatoes were seasoned well and it was good. We tried desert and they were both good. Overall, our experience was good but a little underwhelming, the atmosphere is a little lackluster and the flavors just don’t exactly hit the mark. I would recommend it because it’s good."

"Tua in Bartow is sooooooo good. Quiet and upscale vibe, but not stuffy. Nice sized menu with good prices. Amazing pasta! Everything we tasted had phenomenal flavor. Service was great too. This was our first visit and I'm mad we waited so long! Even the leftovers were great the next day."

"Had a great date night with the Mrs. at this beautiful little hidden gem of a restaurant. Tua Pasta is a fine dining establishment tucked away in a nook of downtown Bartow. All pasta and ingredients are made fresh in house. I was blown away by the Vegetable Primavera with Pomodoro Sauce and the Chicken Alfredo was of quality I haven't seen in years ANYWHERE! Spreading the word to keep this place open is a must. P. S. The service was amazing as well.... friendly, engaged, and plenty of suggestions upon request. We will definitely be back."
