PastaMania - Italian Casual Dining @ JEM is a Italian restaurant located in Floor 4 · Jem. Services: Serves dine-in, Offers takeaway, Has no-contact delivery
Used to love visiting PastaMania during my secondary school or Poly days due to the affordability and decent taste of the food
However the price nowadays here is pretty insane. While this could be attributed to inflation, I don't really think that the price increase is reasonable. Furthermore, the portion of the pasta is not only small but also the taste is not as flavourful as the past (lacking olive oil and garlic taste). The pasta was also overcooked
Honestly, I think the price surge and reduced portion is too much for me (a poor man) to handle

Had a very bad experience. Brought my staff for a team lunch here and the staff was very rude
The lady in the picture when I asked for chilli sauce gave us one small little plate and a small amount. When I ask for more, she responded to us rudely regarding the matter and when I got up myself to take more sauce.
She also charge $3 just for a small amount of cheese. Initially she told us 1.50 for the cheese sauce rudely and just becuase I put on 2 plates She charged us $3.00. There was no proper sauce plate given as well. It was not the money but more of the service, rudeness and tone of the staff especially the lady in the picture.
I took my staff out to reward them for their hard work but her service and attitude was not acceptable. We will never come back to this outlet again.
Pastamania please train your staff well to be nice and respectful and service oriented to customers. Overall a bad experience

Had a really bad experience at Pastamania. I had one pasta on hold, and after informing the staff to serve it, I was told later that my pasta had been mistakenly given to another customer. I raised the issue three separate times, but nothing was done promptly. It took over 30 minutes before I finally received my meal.
The workflow and coordination among the team clearly need serious improvement. It’s frustrating to wait that long for something that should’ve been handled with basic communication. Definitely not the kind of service I’d expect from a well-known chain.

Decent pasta and pizza at a reasonable price. The aglio olio pasta was very spicy. The pizza was just okay, while the cheese sticks tasted the best among the others. Ordering and payment were done through the QR code. There was minimal contact with staff, except for them bringing our food over. There were no greetings at the door whatsoever. Overall, you can’t complain about the services vs the price comparing to other options within the mall.

They have revamped the place and it is now much more vibrant and brighter. Service is good and food always up to their standard. They are having 1 for 1 on pasta this week. So great deal!!! Go for it!

Pastamania, a casual Italian restaurant that doesn't break the bank. You can sign up for their TriplePlus for some deals if you dine often.
They reopened with a more vibrant and colourful ambience. Unfortunately, the prices has steadily increased over the years.
My favourite set (in photo) now costs $17. Hot Basil Chicken and some other pizzas has been renamed by Pizzamania, a pizza specialty arm that actually created more flavours like Chicken Bacon Couch Potato, Peppered Chicken Royale, Lychee Smoked Duck (not pictured here, but on food delivery platforms).
When I was here for their reopening 1 for 1 special, a staff by the name of Mdm Tay was very sincere and helpful to guide us. I bumped into her again a few months later during my off-peak dine in and got reminded of her energy.
But you say now that Casa Vostra has opened, will they lose customers like me? Unlikely! Because you feel valued as a customer when someone like Mdm Tay is here.

A great spot to satisfy your pasta cravings. The menu features a good variety of pasta dishes, all prepared with rich and flavourful sauces. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. The ambience is cosy, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, PastaMania is a great choice!

The food was alright — nothing special but decent overall. The flavors were pretty standard and the portions were fair for the price.

Really like the new store at Pastamania at Jem. It is bright with lots of seating! The staff are all very helpful, especially Rina who was very bubbly and friendly! My go-to pasta is always Spicy Chicken Linguine.

I like the relaxing vibe of the restaurant and the on-going Ramadan Iftar double delight is value-packed, 2 mains + 2 beverages + 2 snacks for $29.90 (tax included). There is a few vegetarian-friendly options which is awesome. We tried Truffle Trio spaghetti and mushroom baked rice, they are nice but a bit plain to me, you might need to spice up a bit by adding salt/pepper/parmesan cheese powder. A good dining experience overall.

My favourite paste is the cheesy crumble pasta. The creamy based is my all time favourite for many years. Newly renovated with new seating and clean ambience. Service is fast and efficient.

I had the Penne Arrabiatta from the JEM Pasta Mania store and it was delicious. The perfect amount of spice and heat with a tomato sauce that hit the right spot.

I had such a wonderful dining experience at PastaMania, thanks to the excellent service from the waitress manager. Fiana and team. She was warm, attentive, and very professional throughout. She made sure everything ran smoothly, checked in kindly without being intrusive, and gave great recommendations. Her friendly attitude and genuine care really made the meal enjoyable. Truly outstanding service – will definitely be back again!”
