Was drawn here due to the positive reviews, but now we are realizing they're likely positive because it's in Bartow and there isn't a lot of options.Server was friendly, but was very confused about the menu and drink offerings. Told us there was a full bar but wasn't (beer and wine only), had a hard time keeping track of who ordered what (5 person table), and was flustered.My pasta wasn't very flavorful, but others really enjoyed their dishes - the chicken piccata looked really good. They forgot my meatballs I added to the pasta, but corrected it.Strong sewer smell in the restaurant, though it could be coming from the street. We almost left because it just wasn't a pleasant atmosphere.

This place is upscale with reservations needed. We happen to show up the minute they opened the doors and they had a table available. If we have come later, we wouldn't of gotten a table. The food was delicious. Well prepared. Fresh pasta. The service was wonderful the drinks were great, place was clean. Can't wait to go again.

The food did not taste handmade. I was there at Christmas time and gosh I raved about the fettuccine & lasagna so I took my husband for our anniversary tonight. What happened in there? The server was polite, sweet & very attentive. The food was nasty! The lasagna taste like tomato soup...so bizarre how beautiful it looked in presentation but tasted almost like metal. The fettuccine was meh, the chicken doesn't look real. I scraped the chicken off and ate the pasta. The Cesar salad tasted like Mayo with parm cheese pile up high. The bruschetta was good, but had lots of onions. The cost of eating out these days, and we are leaving hungry.

Anyone that's anywhere near Bartow, run, don't walk and get yourself to Tua Pasta. I had dinner at this lovely gem of a restaurant this past Thursday night. While not fussy, the atmosphere is simple but welcoming. Colorful Italian landscape paintings adorn the walls making you feel like you're in Florence or the streets of Rome. There are fresh flowers in yellow and purple on the tables. The front wall of the restaurant has windows with views out to Main Street. The staff are charming and eager to share all about the daily specials and story of the recently reopened space. Chef Blake has outdone himself. The warm focaccia brought to the table first paired perfectly with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Light and flavorful. We started with a flatbread appetizer, large enough to easily feed our party of three. It was an amazing combination of salty, sweet, and rich. It included bacon, honey, fruit, cheese (wish I could recall what kind), and the bread itself with the slightest char. I ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese. Pappardelle is a wide, flat noodle that the rich, meaty bolognese sauce clung to. The past is made in house and was cooked perfectly. Al dente with just a slight bite and not overcooked. The bolognese sauce was good, a little on the sweet side but that went well as an offset to the rich meat. My companions ordered the Linguine Fini Carbonara and the Funghi E Tartufo (mushroom ravioli) respectively. The Carbonara was rich and flavorful from the Guanciale and the Parmigiana Reggiano. Like the Pappadelle the linguini was cooked Al dente. I didn't get a chance to try the Funghi ravioli but it looked delicious with its brown butter and summer truffle sauce. We were all too full for dessert, but plan to indulge in some deconstructed tiramisu, ricotta cheesecake, or Affogoto next time. There will definitely be a next time! Doing my part to spread the word about this great local spot.

Well I wanted my first review posted here to be a good one. it's not the case. The place is super quaint, the server was so nice & keep apologizing for things coming out late. The place isn't very big. There's only 10 table.When you order your food you get free wine, bread with olive oil. That's super cool. When we arrive & seated it was around 5:40 pm. I order an appetizer & an entree around 5:50. We already knew what we wanted. The free bread came to our table around 6:15. If you don't like Parmesan infuse olive oil that all you get, no butter. I liked it but another didn't and wanted butter & was told they couldn't get any. At 6:40 my two little pieces of bruschetta finally came out. I love bruschetta and have had several style but this style of bruschetta well for me wasn't great. And by 7:00 pm my super thinly slice & very flattened lemon chicken & my husband lasagna finally arrived. As soon as my food arrived I ask for a box & the check. I had over herd one of the server say that the owner had run two other restaurants before. I don't know what is going on. If you have time to waste & want to give it a try then by all mean go to Tua Pasta on Main Street in Bartow.

Delicious meal! Great service! My husband got their lasagna and it was better than mine(which I think is hard to do). I got pasta and meatballs and expected a couple of meatballs and there were 5 meatballs. There was more food than we could finish! We will be back!

The food and service was extraordinary. The owner waited on us and he was spectacular. The Pomodoro sauce was delicious. 10/10 would recommend for a date night!
