when my friends and i decided on a craving for some italian, we had planned a little dinner date…read morehere tonight. we hadn't known at all what to expect, but it was the perfect girl's night simple dinner. when you enter, you go up to the counter to place your order at the register. then they give you a metal number to place on your table for the waiter to bring your dishes to you. none of us waited more than 10 minutes for our food to be ready, and they made sure to bring our appetizers first as well. the calamari was so nicely cooked (the server told us they bread it themselves in house) and the mozzarella sticks had some incredible cheese pulls. you could tell the bread was going to be delicious as well just based on the color and seasoning, and they did not disappoint. i had ordered the clam sauce with linguine, creamy style; this meant they added some alfredo sauce to the sauce to make it a little thicker in consistency. when i got my dish, the sauce was still fairly thin but i think the alfredo helped a lot for what i was wanting in flavor. the clams were exquisite and, if i hadn't stuffed myself so much on the carb appetizers, i would have polished it off right there. my friends said their dishes were also incredible. the only thing was the pizza; my friend didn't seem to detect any tomato sauce on her dough, only olive oil. she ended up using our dipping sauces to add, but she said it was still delicious. despite being so incredibly full, we still made room for dessert because how could we leave without trying the gelato? the strawberry cheesecake was exactly the perfect sweetness for me to balance out what i had just eaten, though the other flavors were just as good too. overall, it was an incredible dining experience. the staff was all very friendly, happy to provide recommendations or explain what deals came with adding on anything to your order. they were very attentive in checking in with us. the ambiance of the place is also so pretty and so quaint. i definitely intend to come back for another meal!

We came here for our wedding anniversary. We wanted something casual and Italian…read more We ordered: Caprese - 5/5 - very good. The mozzarella was so fresh and creamy. The tomatoes were hearty and cut a perfect thickness. Could have used more balsamic for me, but my husband liked it fine. Chef special: Swordfish picatta with mashed potatoes, vegetables & tiny salad - 4/5 This was good. The picatta sauce was delicious and the fish cooked perfectly. I would have liked a mix of different vegetables. Lasagna - 5/5 - this was my favorite. It was cheesy, served very hot, the noodles were not mushy. Just deliciousness on a plate. The service at the bar was outstanding. Our server was attentive and offered us as much bread as we wanted. He went over the menu and offered suggestions. We only drank water and the cup was always full. He was great! Seating - there was plenty of seating, so was not sure why we were only offered a choice of 2 tables both basically on top of the party next to you. I feel they can do better in that department. There was seating outside, which was also offered, but it was way too hot and humid that day to dine al fresco. We ending up sitting at the bar. Forced tipping: They add a "kitchen appreciation" fee to your bill, which I did not care for. I feel this is tacky, but if they are doing this, it should be posted somewhere that they are, feels sneaky otherwise. The food was very good & I will likely be back to try other dishes.

Came here on lunch hour, not crowded, one server to run the floor. Older crowd. When you order food…read morethey will also serve you complimentary garlic bread. Tried the ravioli with both marinara and Alfredo sauce. Was pretty good. I tried to ask the server in the beginning most popular dishes and instead he went in a deep dive of whether I liked veggies, meat, seafood and basically read the menu to me. Had calamari to start, which was great too. Probably won't be back, as nothing gave the "wow" factor. But happy to have tried it.

Dined here last night with my nephew who was visiting from Tucson. The food was utterly amazing…read more Talk about a varied menu, the only challenging thing was deciding what to order! We started with the Coccoli Prosciutto e Stracchino (make sure to ask for a side of olive oil to dip the dough dumplings in!)...OMG! Truly Heaven sent - paired with a glass of their house cab (PW Rosso). And when you thought it couldn't get any better, my nephew and I split the full-size Genovese Ziti entree. The freshly made ziti was extra long, cooked to perfection; the simmered beef and onions, simply melted in your mouth!! As far as service, the Hostess did wonderful job finding us a table in the full house there. I had called too late to get a reservation, but she recommended to simply walk in and see what's what... we were seated within 10 minutes despite the line. She was an absolute professional pro and, while I unfortunately didn't get her name, our waiter, Israel, took over from there. He was so pleasant, excited but low-key... seemed so happy to be a part of the Team there and wonderfully attentive, timely as well as patient in answering our many questions. All in all, it was a true 5-Star dining experience in a wonderful atmosphere. We were blessed enough to get a table outside where it was much quieter. Noisy inside? Let's just say people were all having a really awesome time with many various celebrations being enjoyed. A TRULY SPECIAL PLACE for any kind of taste!!

The staff was friendly, and I do appreciate that, but unfortunately the food was really…read moredisappointing. I ordered a margherita pizza and an Italian meatball sub. The pizza did not resemble a traditional margherita at all. It was overloaded with cheese, had barely any sauce, and was covered with large tomato pieces and basil. It honestly just didn't look appetizing or balanced. I respectfully brought it up to the front at the end when no one was around because I simply wanted to provide feedback. I was told that this is "how all margherita pizzas are made," which I found a little insulting and dismissive considering a traditional margherita is actually very simple and sauce-forward. At first it sounded like they might offer a refund, but then I was told they could only offer a gift card because "if they refunded me, they'd have to do it for everyone." That response didn't make much sense to me. I wasn't looking to argue or make a scene, so I just left the pizza there and moved on. Friendly staff, but the food quality and how the feedback was handled left me disappointed enough that I won't be returning.

Good for date night, family dinner, or even a bigger group. Restrooms were clean too. We started with the Caesar salad, then shared the chicken marsala, angel hair estiva, and a side of meatballs. Everything was really good and felt like classic comfort Italian food. Linda was friendly and took good care of us the whole meal. Easy 5 stars for a solid local Italian spot.

I came to eat at pasta party a few days ago after telling myself to visit for a long time now. I…read morestill remember the old deli that was there prior to this restaurant and I've seen numerous social media ads and posts about the place so I wanted to check it out. I think I was a little hesitant because in my head I was thinking how good could possibly really be? In my head spaghetti/pasta is something I can make it home and almost thought it a waste of money to go out of my way to go out specifically to eat this dish. I ordered the Arrabiata pasta with the sausage. I'll admit I was a little thrown off by added cost of each tolling and also added cost of the Arrabiata sauce and I also did wait until a fair amount before the food was ready for takeout. But the pasta really blew me away. I'm still thinking about how good it tasted. I would definitely come back and I actually wanna bring my dad who loves spicy pasta like this. It was really that good. I can't think of another place that has this level of pasta let alone this price. The only negative I would say in regards to one of the workers. The cashier was manned by wonderful woman who did every and all tasks from taking the orders to putting food items in the oven to answering the phone I'm probably much more than that. I don't know. In contrast there was an Asian man with a black shirt who was also working. He looked lost and completely helpless. There was a moment where this woman was so busy and there was a ringing that I assume was from either a phone call or a delivery order. This man did not offer to help more nor did he help from what I saw. He was utterly helpless and unhelpful. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with the encouragement "Hey help your team out!" The woman on the other hand was doing so many things simultaneously and yet was really kind at the same time. Anyways, I'm giving my review of a five star because I wanna see this place succeed and I'll definitely come back .

The bread they served while we waited for food was extremely salty and inedible. Their steak Italian sandwich was dry. It needed sauce or something.

We ordered the Fugazzeta and a pepperoni pizza--both were delicious, especially the Fugazzeta. We also tried the gnocchi and milanesa napolitana with Russian salad, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Before leaving, we grabbed desserts: bread pudding with dulce de leche, a dulce de leche cannoli, and alfajores--all really good. Only downside: I later noticed the receipt showed two chocolate volcano desserts instead of the alfajores I actually got. Not sure if it was a mistake or mix-up, but worth double-checking your receipt. Overall, great food, great vibes, and I'd definitely come back.
