    Pasta with meat sauce and burrata
    Amanda N.

    I came here with a friend for the Tuesday happy hour deal ($8 pastas and $5 wine). It was busy, but thankfully we made a reservation and didn't have to wait. Ambiance: great place for friends, date night, special occasion. We sat in the outdoor patio area and there were heaters around which kept us warm and cozy. Didn't love the bathroom situation; there are 2 bathrooms but they aren't really next to each other and there's not a lot of room to wait so it was a bit awkward to stand in the middle of the hallway and in front of other tables while waiting. Service: efficient, nice, friendly Food: The $8 sound enticing and gets you in the door, but be aware that it's for the bare minimum pasta (pasta + marinara/meat sauce). If you want protein, cheese, veggies, etc, there are extra charges. I ended up just getting the $16 Baked Vodka Bolognese since I thought the value was better than the buid-your-own. It was hot, cheesy deliciousness. My friend and I split the garlic bread which is this warm, crispy bread that comes with garlic sauce, and it was only $2! What a steal! We didn't order any wine so can't comment on that. Parking: Not great. Come early to account for this. Parked a few blocks away. It wasn't too bad, but it was very dark, so I had to use my phone flashlight for some of it. Overall, not the most amazing pasta I've ever had, but it's solid. $2 garlic bread is worth it.

    Really enjoyed our anniversary dinner here! Came on a Wednesday about 20 minutes earlier than our reservation time and got seated right away. We were able to find easy free street parking no problem about a block away around 6:30pm. The host and our waitress were lovely. We received complimentary garlic bread to start. The garlic and buttered side was SO good, but after that it's just plain dry bread, and we wished more of it had the garlic buttery goodness! The absolute star of the show was the lasagne, it was so flavorful, delicious, and filling! The vodka bolognese was what I was most excited about, but my preference for vodka sauce is creamier and thicker so it sticks to the noodle, where this was pretty thin and seemed to slide off for the most part. Once the sunset, it was SO dark in the restaurant. I wanted to pick around the mushrooms in the vodka bolognese, but literally had to turn on my phone flashlight because I couldn't clearly see in front of me without it. Only other note is we did select the option when making the reservation to indicate that it was our anniversary, but there was no mention of it in any way shape or form. I don't even need a free dessert or anything, but even just simply saying "happy anniversary" from anyone who worked there and saw our reservation note would've gone a long way.

    Celebrated my dating anniversary here and it was a beautiful experience. Our server Danielle was awesome and provided great service and knowledge/recs on the menu. We ordered a red bottle of wine, bruschetta appetizer, and two entrees (brisket lasagna + sausage rigatoni). Delish!!!! I was so full though - happy belly!! They even gave us a celebration dessert. I enjoyed our booth because the walls were so tall you couldn't see the people on either side which made it a more intimate experience for us! Love!!

    Chicken piccata, very good!

    I visited with a group, ordering the Chicken Piccata. My entree was very good, lots of flavor, but the sauce was a little thin for my taste. But I'm no piccata oficianado! It was full of capers and mushrooms, very enjoyable. But I have to say, the complimentary garlic bread stole the show!!! I would return for that, alone. I had a glass of Tuscan Chianti to round it off. Service was excellent. There was a romantic vibe to the place, I think it would be great for date night.

    I came for their Tuesday $8 Pasta night and I highly recommend your next happy hour/girls dinner night here! $5 house red and white wine (Pinot Grigio was their house white and it was yummmmy) For their $8 pasta selection -- I ordered the spaghetti w. meat sauce and added mushrooms. The food was really amazing! I was nervous it wasn't going to be as good because of how good the deal was itself - but I highly recommend you to come and try it out! There are also appetizers that they have on the menu for $5-7 that are also worth trying! I ordered the caprese. it seems like it's pretty packed here so make a reservation in advance or get here early!

    My friends and I came for Pizza Mondays with $2 beer, $5 wine, and $8 build your own pizzas with a couple dollars for each extra you add. It's a beautiful restaurant and has a very cute patio with heat lamps and string lights. The servers were helpful and friendly. We made two build your own pizzas and both were delicious. With an appetizer or two, the two pizzas were enough for our group of six. There are no reservations on Monday and Tuesday for pizza and pasta nights so the wait was about 45 minutes but if you plan to walk around North Park for a while or get a drink elsewhere while you wait it can work out fine. They included a 20% tip built into the bill, so check for that when calculating whatever tip you may wish to leave. Lovely experience, I'll definitely be coming back!

    Angel hair with marinara, pancetta & mushrooms
    Marissa D.

    Pretty disappointing. Came for their $8 pasta Tuesday night and ordered an ANGEL HAIR MARINARA with pancetta & mushrooms and then a RIGATONI MARINARA with chicken. Both were just lackluster sauce that tasted out of a can and the mushrooms were so huge and chewy. Also got their garlic bread to start and there was only garlic on the first slice so the rest was just bread. Glad I came for their discount pasta night and not their regular priced menu.

    I have been bringing people here for years I love this place and everything about it all the white and candles and flowers and the patio and the water feature and classic movies projected on the wall. Everyone I bring can't stop talking about the atmosphere,the food and the service. I just went with the women of my family yesterday for my birthday. We brought out own ice cream cake . They have cake cutting service per person. We got the charcuterie board. Excellent mix , beautifully presented and a bottle of prosecco to start. Delicious then we ordered I got a gorment pizza w a honey drizzle,my sister and friend got the swordfish special and my aunt got a vegetarian dish everyone loved the food. Then the cake was well presented and served. Out water was so kind and thoughtful and patient. He was tall w dark hair in a pony tail w dark eyes w glasses. Can't remember his name but probably the best waiter I have ever had especially w picky ladies. He was a delight and made my birthday dinner extra special everyone loved it.

    Finally made it to Tuesday Pasta night! We booked on opentable, we just had to plan a month out to get a decent time. There were 5 of us and we were seated inside. The table was little weird for 5, inside was also pretty dim, but still manageable. Build your own pasta started at $8 and depending on the sauce was extra along with the protein and additional toppings, still cheaper than some of the ready made dishes. They also have $5 wines! We share some garlic bread and bruschetta. Everything was delicious and the service was great. It was fun to get together at the start of the work week. We definitely are looking forward to coming back!

    We had a reservation for Saturday evening and were seating upon arrival. They had us sat with waters and fresh bread already waiting. The decor was simple but very cute! The food was delicious! I got their vegetarian option for pasta and it was great! They did have an option to add protein.

    $5 Argentinian red wine
    Grace L.

    I've been hearing a lot about Alexanders on 30th's Monday Pizza Nights, so my friends and I scheduled a girls' night. We started off with the house baked buttered garlic bread ($1.95). This was good, but definitely messy to cut ourselves. We each got a glass of $5 Argentinian red wine which was tasty. The four of us decided to share two pizzas: -The Parker is a signature pizza ($15.95): which comes with evoo, mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, pear, walnuts, arugula, and honey. This was tasty, and I loved the contrast between the sweet and salty flavors. I would highly recommend this one. -We also created our own pizza. The base for building your own pizza is $8. Then we added vodka sauce (+$2.95), buffalo mozzarella (+$2.95), pancetta (+$3.95), and maui onion (+$2.95). In total, our pizza came out to $20.80. This was tasty and hearty. While the food was delicious, the only downside is that it was a very long wait. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes before our pizzas came out. It was still worth it, and I'd definitely still go back!

    Came here at night and the ambiance was so cute. It's dimly lit and cozy, which makes it feel really romantic. Not overly pricey and the pasta was delicious. Service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and very accommodating. Great spot for a casual but nice dinner.

    This is my 3rd time coming here and this time we came the day after Valentine's Day on a Sunday at 6:30PM. Had a reservation and got here around 6:15, had a wait a bit to be seated. Got seated outside and the ambiance was very nice with a movie playing. Service was a little slow, we had our menus for about 20 minutes. Only ordered the bruschetta at first while we were looking for dairy free, non-spicy, options; wasn't very much to do with one vegan option and slight substitutions. Got one of the bruschettas with no cheese and they were delicious. Complimentary bread with balsamic and oil were very good as well. After getting the bruschetta is when we ordered Theodore's pizza and a pasta. Big portions, took most of it home. Good food overall just a little slow but understanding since it was busy because of valentines weekend.

    Not haunted, just a funky space & old neighborhood. Just call 12-6pm & ask.

    Does this establishment charge for cheese on pizza?

    A fine question. They do in fact charge for cheese on their pizzas. $3 no less. Garlic bread? Free. A side of Parmesan cheese? Free. Cheese on lasagna? No charge. But if you order a pizza, they will charge you $3 for cheese. I asked them, "what… 

    Is there a corkage fee?

    Yes, $20 per bottle

    Do they still have happy hour, if so is it in the bar area only?

    My partner and I made a reservation because we expected the restaurant to be busy. We got there…read morebefore they opened, hoping to be seated inside, but were placed outside instead. We asked if there were any tables available inside and were told no because they were being saved for other guests, even though there were empty tables for two. It was a bit chilly and windy outside, and we weren't the only ones asking to sit inside. I even watched one of the indoor tables get up and leave shortly after, which made the whole situation even more frustrating. That already left a bad impression, but we decided to stay and give the food a chance. Stinco Di Agnello: 4.5/10 The portion size was great and the dish looked delicious when it came out, but that was about the only positive. The lamb shank was overcooked, a little dry, and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect. Even the sauce couldn't save it. The pasta had a grainy texture, and the mushroom sauce was so weak that you could barely taste it. On top of that, the plate was too small, so the lamb sauce kept mixing into the mushroom sauce and completely threw off the dish. Saltimbocca Alla Romana: 3/10 This was honestly unacceptable. We specifically ordered the steak medium rare, and it came out well done. That's not a small mistake. It's one of the most basic things to get right. We didn't send it back because we didn't want to sit there waiting for another entree or waste the food, but it was tough, dry, and not enjoyable to eat at all. The sauce was bland and added nothing to the dish. The potatoes were the only thing worth eating. They also only serve wine and beer, so don't expect cocktails. The only reason this review isn't even lower is because our server was kind, attentive, and did a great job. I've given this restaurant multiple chances over the years, and every visit has been disappointing in one way or another. The ambiance wasn't great either. Between being seated outside in the cold, the noise, and the overall atmosphere, it definitely didn't feel like a place I'd choose for a date night. At this point, I can't justify coming back. There are far too many great Italian restaurants around to spend your money on food that is consistently underwhelming and poorly executed. Food: 3/10 Service: 8.5/10

It's a walk-up and pay kind of spot where you can either sit and eat it there in a casual environment, or get it to-go. We would have eaten there but had plans with a friend and bring some food over already...So we picked up a couple of things from the well-curated market as well. --About the food --- It's so hard to choose a favorite because each sandwich was worthy of getting on-repeat. But, if I had to choose I'd say the meatball was my perfect bite- the sauce was phenomenal, the basil and fresh mozzarella on their choice of bread gave it a unique edge on other meatball sandwiches around town. The bread is amazing I can't stress that enough! It's airy with chew and the perfect crunch. I really can't wait to go in and try some pizza- might try it tomorrow? I've added some close-up photos of the sandwiches so your stomach and mouth can see what I'm talking about. Go in and check them out. Great food and warm service. You will be so glad you did!
