Delicious italian food, served really hot (much appreciated) Staff was fine, a bit in a hurry, it's a very big and busy restaurant, noisy as well.. Do not order wine though! Overpriced and even the local red wine is VERY expensive for such a bad quality..

Went to Jay's based upon the Best Western recommendation. Food was good. I had the lasagna special and my wife had the ravioli. Not the best Italian I have ever had but good for the area. Service was adequate.

One of my favorite restaurants in Moab. Great food and a great covered outdoor eating area right in the heart of town. Even when they look really busy, don't let that chase you away. They are amazingly quick and efficient at getting food and drinks to you and the staff is pleasant. It cost us about $70 before tip for... More

Ate there 2 different times. Once for pasta and the second for pizza. Both times the food was very good and the servers took very good care of you.

We got seated right away which was nice and service was not lacking. My caesar salad was missing parmesan cheese and the dinner salad was overpriced for what it was (iceburg lettuce and 2 olive slices and 1 jalapeno pepper. We had the Hagan special: pick any 3 pastas in their "famous" marinara sauce. We tried the eggplant parmesan (you... More

Food was very good. Restaurant small and extremely busy on a Friday night. Price seemed a little high for spaghetti but probably average for Moab. Chose first seating available because it was nearly 8 p.m. Seated at a high table near the little bar and in the path of the servers. Not ideal. The restaurant was very warm but that... More

My experience could've been a fluke but our waitress never showed up. I can understand if she/he was busy but I can't understand how the other staff that saw us sitting there never even said as much as "we'll be right with you".

We went looking for a place to eat lunch in Moab, and had to stop at Pasta Jay's, mainly because of the amazing aroma coming from the restaurant. We were not disappointed! It tastes just as good as it smells. My husband had the Diablo Mac and Cheese, and it was amazing. So was their marinara sauce. Great italian food!... More

I would have given this a 4 rating but I ordered a side salad ($5.50) and it was boring iceberg lettuce with a few chic peas and one slice of beet. Way overpriced but more importantly, uninspiring. The entrees tho were fabulous. I had the chicken/eggplant with a tomato basil sauce. It was fantastic. The portion was huge. My husband... More

Marinara meat sauce was pretty good. I do think the waitress misjudged the size of the Caesar Salad. I wanted a large, but she talked me out of it saying it served two, but the salad for one was not large enough for a meal. Salad was good with fresh tasting greens.
