Best Classic Pasta:

Muse

Get a taste of a classic pasta dish dining at Muse. Every day their chef creates unique hand-rolled pasta. It varies from light and thin to thick and hearty. We recommend trying the Baked Spaghetti and Meatballs. This spaghetti dish has house-made marinara and parmesan, letting the pasta be the star.
 

Best Traditional Pasta:

Grazies Italian Grill

Grazies has a wide variety of delicious fresh from scratch pasta of all shapes, sizes, and flavors. With their extensive menu, it can be hard to choose a favorite, but we suggest the seafood cannelloni, where seafood and a delicious cream sauce pair for a perfect match. 
 

 

Best Hometown Favorite Pasta:

Michele's

For an inspiring take on a traditional supper club, try Michele's! While they are known for their classic steaks, don't overlook their delicious pasta. Michele's offers a wide variety of options, including the Seafood Basciani. This flavorful dish is packed with shrimp, scallops, crab, romas, mushrooms, and linguini. 
 

Best Mac & Cheese:

Guu's on Main

Head downtown to try out one of the many mac & cheese dishes at Guu's. We recommend their unique pulled pork mac & cheese. This savory dish offers up creamy mac & cheese topped with BBQ and fried onion strings. No doubt it will leave your mouth watering for more!
 

 

Best Pasta and Fish Combo:

Silver Coach

Check out this classic Stevens Point Area restaurant, the Silver Coach, housed in a 1903 railroad car. We suggest ordering the Piri Piri Tuna with Pasta, piled high with blackened chunks of Sashimi yellowfin tuna seared with Piri Piri. Piri Piri is a flavorful combination of jalapeno, poblano, crushed red & cracked black pepper, garlic & olive oil. To top it off, the entire dish is then tossed with pasta!
 

Best Rice Noodle:

Mama Mai's Noodles

Mama Mai's Noodles is a hidden gem offering authentic Southeast Asian foods, including Hmong egg rolls, Pad Thai, bubble tea, and more. When you visit be sure to try their Pho. It is packed full of flavor with brisket, top sirloin, tripe, flank, or beef meatballs, and of course, noodles that absorb the many flavors in the bowl.
 

 

Best Unique Pasta:

Arbuckles Eatery & Pub

Get a taste of the south in the north with Arbuckles Jambalaya Pasta. This dish has andouille sausage, onions, green peppers, chicken, and shrimp tossed with penne pasta and a spicy cream sauce. It is sure to be a flavorful and savory dinner. 

Best Unexpected Find:

Knowlton House Distillery

Being a distillery, it's typically an unexpected delight to find that Knowlton House has a deliciously crafted food menu on top of its award-winning spirits. While there, make sure to order the seasonal pan-fried gnocchi. This dish contains gnocchi that is made in-house and then pan-fried. The pasta is then tossed with a TenHead vodka & goat cheese cream sauce, crispy Nueske’s bacon, green & caramelized onions, served with a toasted crostini
