Pasta in Waco

“Y’all - do not walk, RUN to check out Pignetti’s. Best mushroom ravioli and bolognese we have ever had, and I am Italian! And don’t sleep on the “Up All Night” espresso martini - dangerously smooth but not too sweet. Ask for Jay - one of their newest servers but already so knowledgeable about the menu (and willing to hint at recipes) We don’t even live in Waco, but we will be back!”

“My sweet kids tooknus out for Mothers day early because we will be gone on Mother's Day. We thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer which was big meatballs in a loushous sauce . Then they brought out what we had ordered ! I ate Chicken Picatta, my husband ate Baked Lasagna . One of my sons ate Chicken Marsala and my Daughter ate penni pasta in a wonderful wine sauce ! We all had a great time! Thank Y'all very much!”

“Everything our table ordered was delectable. Spaghetti, Fettuchini, Basil Pesto, and desserts. It was wonderful, patio atmosphere was great. Service was nice. We will absolutely return next trip!”

“We had dinner here for my birthday, and it was wonderful. They had a signed card at the table and gave me a free dessert which was really nice of them. The food is always wonderful here and the drinks were very good. Thank you for having us and making tonight very special. My favorite item here is the fettuccini Alfredo. Thanks yall.”

“The atmosphere was appropriate for the cuisine. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was absolutely a hit. Fried calamari is fantastic as well.”

“Pignetti’s offers an exceptional Italian dining experience with authentic flavors, elegant presentation, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu features delicious pasta, fresh ingredients, and thoughtfully prepared dishes that showcase classic Italian cuisine. With attentive service, a charming setting, and a great selection of wines, Pignetti’s is a perfect choice for date nights, celebrations, or a memorable meal with family and friends.”

“pretty good bread ! and ravioli”

“A pleasant surprise! Great Manhattan followes the Lemon Pecorino Shrimp Pasta, delicious!”

“Solid menu with great options. Friendly service - staff were enjoying themselves. We were in before Sat night rush. Polenta, ravioli and pasta fazole were excellent.”

“I try to make it to Pignetti's as often as I can! If you like Brussel sprouts or creamy pasta, this is the place to be! The employees, like Mason, are excellent and always diligent and friendly. One of my favorite places in Waco for sure.”

“Just wandered into this place and let me tell you, WOW is the understatement here. My favorite is spaghetti and meatballs. Until today the reigning champion was a restaurant called VILLA NOVA in Columbus Ohio. This place is a grand slam, out of the park and over the parking lot fence. Service was as good as you could ever want. This is the total package. Most definitely returning.”

“We accidentally stopped in for dinner during Baylor graduation parties abd celebrations! But it wasn't even a problem. We made a reservation for 8, and ended up arriving sooner and they were able to seat us immediately. Our server was exceptionally on point! The drinks were perfect! The food, omg....the lasagna was delicious, even more the next day for lunch, lol. Not all leftovers are good, but the lasagna hit!”

“Pignetti’s in Waco has a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff that make you feel right at home. My waitress, Melanie,gave some great recommendations—the Lasagna Rolls with wagyu ribeye were rich and delicious, and the Chicken Marsala over mashed potatoes (instead of pasta) was a perfect comfort dish with plenty of flavorful sauce. I had an Act of Faith Belgian Tripel from local Brotherwell Brewing with dinner, and it paired perfectly. Great casual dining spot with quality food and local flavor. Definitely worth a visit!”

“Tried this gem for the first time for dinner last night, so glad we did! We had a lovely waitress and delicious food. For starter we had the waygu meatball which gives you 3 pieces, very good and recommended. If the marinara is or isnt home made it sure tastes like it! For entrees we had the lemon pecorino shrimp pasta and pasta alla norcina, both fantastic, try the lemon sauce with the Norcina!”

“I was driving from Dallas to San Antonio, decided to stop by at Pignetti’s and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Lobster Raviolis which are some of the best I’ve had, the rich sauce and lobster filled raviolis are amazing! Then don’t forget about dessert and order the Tiramisu you won’t be disappointed. The staff was very polite and attentive. Now it’s a must stop every time I travel that way.”

“Lobster ravioli sub the sauce for the rosey sauce. You're welcome. So good.”

“Love this environment, and the food quality is amazing! The sweet woman they have answering the phone and greeting customers makes you feel welcome and immediately comfortable. Jesus has been our waiter the last two times and his service is just exceptional. I'm 75% Italian so I've had a lot of great Italian food in my life. I've NEVER had better meatballs than theirs, and that includes my Italian grandma's!!”

“I've ate here several times and absolutely love the hot honey ricotta dip, lasagna rolls, and the bruschetta. I usually get the mushroom ravioli or chicken parm. For dinner, both are solid choices. My friend had the porkchop once, which i tried and was delicious and juicy. Overall I recommend this place.”

“We came into town on a cold night in January looking for some Italian food to warm us up. This spot was perfect! They sat us next to the fireplace and it was cozy and inviting. I had the house red wine and my fiancé had the Sauvignon blanc. The pasta alla norcina dish is the best pasta we’ve ever had. So good! And then I had the peanut butter espresso martini for dessert. Would highly recommend and we will be back!”

“We had a wonderful experience here this evening. The food and drinks were amazing and our waiter, Elan was extremely attentive. We ordered the Salmon Primavera & Lobster Ravioli with a side of Brussels. Everything was 10/10. My sister was pregnant and our waiter did a wonderful job curating a delicious “mocktail” for her with the bartender! If we ever return to Waco, we will return!”

“Stopped in here for dinner on a Saturday evening around 7pm and got a table pretty much right away. Our server Leslie was amazing and so helpful and kind. The food came out hot and delicious, we had bruschetta, scallop gorgonzola fettuccine, and the waygu lasagna. Everything was top notch and the service was far better than most high end restaurants we've been to. Small touches like using real candles at the tables elevated the experience, definitely a restaurant we'll be back to and highly recommend!”
