The Pasta Shoppe sells over 250 shapes of pasta. No fooling! Fun shapes like basketballs and cat paws and Christmas trees. Got a kid in college? They sell a dizzying selection of collegiate logo shaped pasta too. So whether you're a fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Michigan State Spartans, or the Wisconsin Badgers, they have you covered. Throw in some specialty pasta lines (Petite Angel Hair Pasta Nests anyone?) plus sauces, healthy grains, and gift boxes, and you get the picture. Everything is sold mail-order via their website and through group sales endeavors, which is how I came across them. I picked up two packages of their chili and one of their mac and cheese. They cost $8 a piece. The chili package included a bag of their store-made pasta and a big packet of spices you can add depending on how much firepower you want. The basic recipe does call for you to add a lot - 3 cans of beans, a can of diced tomatoes, chopped onion and garlic and pepper, some ketchup, and ground meat. But once you're done with the chopping and browning of the meat, everything comes together pretty fast. And how was the Classic Chili (more like a chili mac)? Well, let me tell ya, buddy it was pretty darned great. The sauce came out perfectly, and I loved the flavor and zip level of the spice. I dumped in the whole package because I like spicy, but you can go with a lighter hand if that's what your taste buds tell you. It was a lot of fun putting this together, and as I said - it came out great.

My hot take is that spaghetti and meatballs should come with at least 3 meatballs. Of the three things I ordered the tiramisu was definitely the best. Maybe it is more of a pizza place?? Outside covered patio had a nice atmosphere. However, the inside was less aesthetic and extremely hot.

The only downside that I see is that it's a takeout or outdoor dining only, but the food is really good and it was ready in about 10 minutes. You can build your own Bowl or they serve Sandwiches, Mac & Cheese, Sandwiches, Salads, Sides and Desserts. They also offer Vegan Meatballs & Vegetarian options. You can take a box of their Bronze cut Pasta or a bottle of their Marinara home with you or order it online and have it delivered to you. I got A house favorite-- The Chicken Parmesan. It was a good portion size and I could tell it was freshly made. It was delicious. It has a Buttermilk fried Chicken breast atop their Spaghetti topped with house Marinara, Fresh Mozzarella and Fresh Basil. My wife got the Meatball sub with fresh handcut fries. The sandwich has hand rolled Beef Meatballs topped with house Marinara, Provolone, Mozzarella, Basil and Parmesan served in a fresh baked French Roll. This is a full size sub. It was about 8 or 10 inches. She gave it a 7 out of 10. She said she would get it again. It's worth stopping in and eating or getting some pasta and sauce to take home and make yourself.

I got the chicken parmesan, and the chicken was perfectly cooked with a delicious cheesy topping. Alongside the chicken was fettuccine noodles with a red sauce. Most places typically serve chicken parmesan with spaghetti noodles, but I definitely preferred the fettuccine. The prices are great for the amount of food you receive. Definitely want to come back and try more items off their menu!

Gnocchi Crema Di Gorgonzola- Pecorino & Roasted with Pistacchios on top. Both were delicious, the Gnocchi was light, exactly how it should be and the Gorgonzola-Pecorino creme sauce was was smooth and perfectly made. We couldn't resist a good finish, so we split a Tiramisu - Mascarpone cream & Coffee lady finger cookies topped with cocoa powder. I had an espresso & my wife opted for a cappuccino (even though it was after 11am... shh, don't tell anyone). The server was attentive & helpful and we enjoyed the food. We were actually between the normal lunch & dinner shift, so the restaurant was not too busy. We opted to sit outside which was a little noisy from the road traffic at that hour, I did take a look inside and at the kitchen area. On our next trip here, we will be sitting inside and try some of their wine, and other offerings. Both the Gnocchi and the Pizza were very good, and we look forward to our next visit.

The areas for improvement: 1) for new customers to the restaurant it would be helpful if the waitress even asked the patron if they had any questions, were able to navigate the full menu in the app. Our waitress merely said use your phone to see the menu & order. 2) they provide each table with a "call" button but it is useless. We pressed it many times & twice I had to leave the table to go find a waitress to ask a quick or get assistance. 3) we were provided a bottle of water when we first sat down but had to track down our waitress to request a refill 4) it would be grand if all of the plates for the same table are served relatively close together 5) consistency between plates could use improvement. 2 plates were ordered the same at our table but one had significantly more pesto than the other. 5) if you want a waitress to actually do their job, well maybe dine at a different establishment. Where they had an absolute FAIL: I expressed my severe food allergy to the waitress. Her nonchalant response was "they should change gloves between dishes". I had to ask her to double check with the kitchen because I wasn't looking to die today. A food allergy can be life threatening & should be taken seriously! Overall I don't think we would return. The menu was a bit difficult to find everything the restaurants had to offer. The waitress was terrible. If I was her employer I would be looking for a replacement hire.

I love a perfectly executed bagel in the same way that Dale Cooper loves a damn fine cup of coffee. As such, I had kind of given up hope to find an actual bagel in town. Other spots came close, but I always just felt like I was settling. However, Mr. Aaron's Goods does it soooo right. We finally have a bagel in Nashville with the right crust and texture! Would love to see a vegan bagel sandwich on the menu in the future!

Bagels are my birthright…read more I am a New Jerseyan / New Yorker that left the godless north for Nashville 10+ years ago. I was so afraid I would never have another good bagel again that I literally took bagel-baking classes at the Culinary Institute of America. I was right to be scared. For years, Nashville bagels were just bread donuts. Soft circles of steamed sadness committing breakfast fraud. The kind of thing someone hands you and says, "It's basically the same," right before you question every decision that led you south. Then this place showed up. It started as a pop-up inside TKO, R.I.P., and now it has taken over the whole space. This place gets it right. The bagels are boiled, rolled, baked, chewy, crusty, and spiritually accurate. Not "good for Nashville." Not "pretty close." Just really freaking good bagels. No apologies needed. The place looks the way a bagel shop is supposed to look. Concrete floors. Friendly chaos. People working hard behind the counter. And the people? That's the real thing. Mr. Aaron, his wife, and the whole crew are amazing. They know your name. They bust your chops. You bust theirs. That is community. That is customer service with a pulse. They even have a Mets fan, which proves their commitment to authenticity and long-term emotional damage. It's the kind of place you want to go every day, if your wallet, doctor, and basic sense of shame weren't constantly trying to ruin your life. Nashville finally has a real bagel place. I do not say that lightly. I say that as a man who has opinions about crust, chew, schmear, water, and most things. But this place rules. Go. Eat. Complain about the Mets. Order another bagel. Repeat.
