Great vegan options - Edit
December 26, 2024: The Hey Jude pasta was great with a lot of complex flavors. The tie-dye cheesecake was great as well with the fruit that the wait staff recommended. Portions were a little on the small side, though.

Great Menu, Food and Staff - Edit
I thoroughly enjoyed a late lunch, with the bartender,owner, server, Judy and my girlfriend. The menu has plenty to choose from for vegans and omnivores, which is rare. My vegan chili, topped with vegan cheese was excellent and my girlfriend loved her tempeh sandwich with cilantro pesto sauce. Plus I had a glass of Mead for the first time in my live and I liked it alot. Judy was very busy as you can imagine, with her many roles, but she was pleasant and fun to talk to when she had a chance.

Cons: When busy the smoke from the kitchen wafts out

Salty - Edit
The food was incredibly salty, almost inedible. The dishes were small portions and had too few ingredients for their price points, especially having paid extra for vegan versions. We both ran out of water due to the sodium, however the server was working all the tables and bar by themselves, so we were just not well attended to. We had to keep swatting flies away, as mentioned by another review.
Read morePros: vegan options
Cons: salty food, price points, bugs flying around

I am very salt sensitive and have had the vegan chili and the tempeh sandwich with fries. The fries were salted but pleasantly so. The other stuff was tasty but not salty. I wonder what you had?

Flavorless - Edit
Im not sure what these other reviewers were served but when we went the food had no flavor. I got the mac and cheese that was raved about but it was really bad. Not cheesy at all. Also the place had lots of flies flying around and we had to constantly swat them away from our food. We will not ever go back here.

Try the mac and cheese! - Edit
Mac and cheese is made with house made cashew cheese sauce. Tempeh sandwich was great! Other items can be made vegan. Clearly labeled menu.

Pleased with the vegan variety! - Edit
Stopped here for lunch after an 11 am tour at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary nearby (which I also highly recommend!) More vegan options than anticipated and everything was great. The family size order of chili fries is huuuge

Very friendly and delicious food! - Edit
Came with my husband and grandparents for lunch and had a wonderful time! The vegan black bean burgers were delicious and the vegan cheesecake was awesome! My crochety grandfather enjoyed the Hey Jude pasta with shrimp and my adventurous grandmother enjoyed her portabella mushroom sandwich.

Definitely recommend!

New location and menu - Edit
The Rock 'n Roll theme continues, but few pasta or vegan options in Saugerties, 30 miles north of New Paltz. Accommodating and friendly staff. Interesting, but very limited menu with seitan option instead of chicken. The food was good, 3 kinds of mushrooms in wine sauce appetizer was tasty. Hope they add more choices to the menu. Locally sourced craft beers, wine bottled or on tap (!) and basic bar drinks. Friendly bar atmosphere.

Memorable meal - Edit
I was skeptical of going to a place that wasn't Italian and served mostly pasta. How exciting could it really be? I was proven wrong! I ordered the Pesto Palooza with tofu and was surprised that not only was the portion so large, but it also came with vegan garlic bread and a nice side salad with house dressing. I ordered a glass of Riesling and also was pleased with the generous portion.
Read moreEven though I was full and couldn't finish all of the pasta, I regret not taking the leftovers with me. I keep thinking about how amazing it was and the tofu especially was cooked to perfection! It was well cooked, thin slices of firm and chewy tofu marinated just right. The combination of the avocado slices on top of the pasta with balsamic reduction and artichoke hearts was a creative and interesting combination I never would have though of, but somehow worked well.
I had the vegan cheesecake for dessert and was blown away! It was so delicious, moist, and very pretty (tie-dyed!). Not sure how they made it, but it was impressive and I wanted to return the next day just for a slice, but they didn't open until 2pm.
This is a spot I'll definitely return to when I'm in the area again.
Pros: large portions, creative menu, vegan cheesecake
Cons: small restaurant, warm inside, wish they opened earlier for lunch

Great place... Wish I could give it 5 stars. Most items on the menu can be made vegan. The owners are very kind and welcoming. All the pasta is home made and the sauces will blow your mind. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

slow service - Edit
We stopped in for dinner around 8pm and were there nearly two hours due to the slow service. Additionally, it was during a heat wave and it was very hot inside as there was only a small wall a/c unit. The food was good though. We ordered the magic mushroom appetizer which was excellent. For entrées, I originally wanted the tortellini which was noted as vegan option available on the menu; however, when ordering, I was told they don't have vegan tortellini, but the vegan sauce can be used on another type of pasta, so I went with that option. It's a tropical sauce which is unique, but I don't think I'd order it again. Dirk got the Hey Jude pasta with mushroom sauce which was fabulous. By the time our food arrived, we said we'd like the bill and a vegan cheesecake slice to go. We were completely done with dinner and still no bill which we had to ask for again. The décor is funky and fun, but I'd recommend ordering ahead for take-out instead.

5-Cow Worthy; I look forward to returning here. - Edit
It really bothers me that I can't rate a restaurant 5 Cows just because they serve meat dishes - especially when the restaurant is as vegan friendly as this one.
Read moreRock Da Pasta has a menu that is not only fun to read, but is also intriguingly diverse. Coconut curry cream sauces, pineapple and mango, cilantro pesto; this isn't just spaghetti with marinara sauce, folks. (Though they do have that, as well!) And while a good portion of the menu is already vegetarian, most of the dishes can be made so simply by choosing tofu instead of chicken, and the cream-based sauces can be made with soy milk upon request.
To start off our meal, we sampled a few soups and appetizers: The Cream of Mushroom Soup with Fresh Rosemary was super rich and velvety, chunky with mushrooms, and loaded with flavor. Sticky Fingers Pot-Stickers, little edamame-filled dumplings with a gingery tamarind sauce, were surprisingly tasty and flavorful, despite their humble appearance. The Magic Mushrooms appetizer was like a chunky mushroom pate; diced cremini and shiitake mushrooms were sautéed and flavored with wine, rosemary, and truffle oil, and served with little strips of garlic bread. This was some seriously tasty stuff.
For my entrée, I had the Overnight Sensation - bowtie pasta tossed with artichoke hearts, fennel, broccoli, roasted red peppers, thinly sliced sundried tomatoes, and the optional diced, baked tofu, in a creamy cilantro pesto sauce. (They normally top this dish with bacon, but I simply asked them to omit this.) The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce! Oh man. I cannot describe how good this dish was. I also sampled the Joplins Penne Rose - penne tossed with black olives, roasted red peppers, and diced, baked tofu, in a spicy, tomatoey alfredo sauce fortified with a shot of Southern Comfort. Wow. Just... wow. The third dish I tasted was The Cheese Tortellini Incident. Cheese tortellini and penne were tossed together with pignolis and chunks of fresh pineapple, mango, and bananas, in a light coconut alfredo sauce. Honestly, I'm still not sure what to think about this one. It was odd, to say the least. Bananas and cheese tortellini... perhaps not such a good combination. But it was unique for sure.
For the record, our omnivorous friends immensely enjoyed their meals, as well; this is a great place for mixed crowds. Throw in a decent little selection of interesting beers and a casual, music-oriented atmosphere, and you have a great overall dining experience.
Pros: Intriguing menu selections, Extremely veg friendly, Seriously tasty food

Great food/Funky Decor - Edit
I went to Rock da Pasta with my mom and sister. My mom and I are vegetarian and my sister is gluten free vegan. The restaurant was cool with record albums framed on the walls and the bar chairs had guitars for the seat backs. I got the grateful red angel hair pasta w/garlic bread - delicious! Both my mom and sister enjoyed their meals as well. My mom got a mushroom soup (can't remember the name) but she said it was unbelievably good. She also got a salad which looked delicious. Gluten free pasta is vegan which is nice and it is also served with gluten free garlic bread. They are willing to do substitutions, additions, etc which is always appreciated. I will definitely stop by this restaurant again when I am in the area! FYI they had many bottled microbrew beers for $4 which isn't bad at all for a restaurant.
Read morePros: Willing to substitute, Nice location/decor, Good food for all diets
Cons: None
