Pastamore vs. NBA City. which should we choose??

[CJ]

Family of 4, teens DD age 15 and DS 18. Doing dinners at Hard Rock and Margaritaville for sure, but can't decide on our third. Which would you choose: Pastamore or NBA City Neither teen is a real basketball fan, DD adores pasta - but I've heard that the food at NBA is great...

My son (13) and I ate both places--Pastamore and NBA. We were not that impressed with NBA, butwe only had the pizza which is standard fare. I ordered lemonade and it was not cold. Also, we had a better pizza in US park. The service was mediocre. We saw our server twice---when we were seated and when she brought the check. She never offered any refills or asked if our meal was ok. We flagged down another server for drink refills. If the food is very good and service is bad or visa versa, you can find a balance and assume this is an occasional incident. Both food and service were not impressive for the price, so I'll let you draw your own conclusion. On the other hand Pastamore was the exact opposite. We both loved this place and the service and the food was excellent and the atmosphere was a lot better than NBA restaurant. Eat at Pastamores, your kids will love it and you will too.

My family of 4, all basketball fans, were not impressed with NBA city. We really loved Margaritaville though.

Pastamorè is pretty good. I would go with them. I think they have grilled pizzas, I saw Emril make it on T.V.

Gee, I've had pretty good experiences at NBA City and give the food an edge over Pastamore.

Thanks for the heads up, Sherrilatte. I'll have to check it out next time.

Haven't tried Pastamore but will next trip. We did however eat at NBA City in June, both kids are huge BB fans. They rate it an 8 solely because of that!!! My steak sandwich was very good, dh burger good but the kids both complained that their pizzas were small. We will probably give it another try but would not highly recommend it. Margartiville on the other hand, we all loved. I even bought the cookbook.
