The Pasta House Co.

"Staff is usually sitting in the front talking to other airport employees while the restaurant has dirty tables and people are waiting for service. Had to actually go fetch someone to take my order only to be told no fried foods because "the man was cleaning the grease thing" Third time I've heard this excuse. Ironically enough when I did get service my complaint was that the oil that was used to fry the ravioli needed replacement ASAP. Not trying again at this point."

"I should have heeded the warnings in the Yelp reviews, but I was hungry and wanted to take advantage of Priority Pass (Note: They are only taking PP from Chase, not Amex). My boyfriend and I came here to eat while waiting for our flight and we ordered the toasted ravioli, house salad, and meatball sub. The "restaurant" was filthy, with spilled liquids on the ground and dirty tables. Our server was nice, although very frazzled -- it looked like she was serving everyone on her own. My view was direct into the kitchen where I watched a guy repeatedly microwave dishes of food to be ready to serve. Toasted ravioli -- Not sure how old these were..they were definitely frozen and I watched the "cook" microwave these. The marinara sauce that came with it was very sweet and runny. House salad -- Very mediocre and wilted. Didn't taste good and wasn't sure how clean it was. Meatball sub -- This was a laughable attempt at a meatball sub. The bread was rock hard and dry. The meatball was suspiciously squishy and was mostly made up of filling. Thank god I wasn't actually paying for this food, and only had to cover tip."

"Delicious! I used the priority pass from Chase reserve here. The Pasta House is the only place in Lambert but I am glad that they accept it! The food was delicious, I got the Alfredo and a Stella. Since this is a smaller airport the service was super fast and the staff/manager was very friendly. I appreciate the warm mid west vibes! Well worth the stop :)"

"I just ate here on a long layover and I can see why the reviews are all over the place. It was very disorganized from the moment I walked up to be sat. There were several open tables and yet the few people in front of me, and I, had to wait several minutes to get a table. I ended up waiting about ten minutes. Not that long compared to what one might wait normally, but frustrating when it is only due to inefficiencies and incompetence. After I was sat, the wait staff was attentive and right on the money. They didn’t miss a cue once and that’s why this restaurant received three stars. I guessed that the kitchen was as big of a mess as the dining room so stuck with something simple - spaghetti with meat sauce. Unfortunately, it was terrible. The pasta was overdone and the sauce tasted like it came from a can. I was very disappointed, especially since this place calls itself the pasta house. Next time I’ll stick with a fast food option."

"Service was extremely quick and friendly. Food was above average. I was hoping for more uniqueness in the Italian Quesadilla. It was just a standard quesadilla with meatball crumbles. Still came with pico, sour cream, and grilled peppers/onions. Drink (I had one Schlafly Cider) was just as expensive as the food and not even a 16 oz pour. I guess its a good option in an airport."
