    I've been on the quest for some really good Italian food in the Lakewood/East Dallas area for a long time! We have plenty of fancy options, but none that are really casual with high-quality homemade Italian pasta. We had just arrived back from a summer trip in Italy and my mother was in town visiting. She was super eager to try some ravioli and I had no idea where to take her. She's not a fancy dining type. We ended up finding the spot on yelp and it could not have worked out better. She was very complementary of the food and we had a great time. It is not a five star restaurant, but it is great. You order your food at the counter and they will walk you through the process. Once your food is ready, you grab your silverware and you get to your table. I ended up getting some meatballs for myself and I got my daughter something from the kids menu. My mom got the raviolis. She wanted as well. Everything turned out delicious and tasty. The portion sizes are spot on and not too big or too small. We will definitely be back!

    Excellent pasta without braking the bank! I got the short rib ragu with casarecce pasta. I will be back and keep trying new combinations.

    Wine, beer, and  Negroni.

    A really neat concept restaurant with build your own pasta. You pick your pasta type, the sauce, and can add a number of other things including protein. Everything is made from scratch, and it was quite tasty. The chef was super friendly and answered all of our questions. They have wine, beer, Negroni, and Apperal spritz. Technically not a full bar.

    Great location in Lakewood! Clean restaurant with plenty of seating for a quick casual meal. Sadly they were out of a few things while we were there - one of them being apple juice for the baby which felt silly, the other the popular short rib. The kids pasta was like $14 which for a 11 month old is crazy. I'd be happy to get 1/4 of the pasta for a lower price. It was the same size at the adult so I guess it's a good thing it lasted us several meals at home. I had the Bolognese and it was delicious. Side salad had a bit too much dressing for me - will ask for that on the side next time! Staff was very kind and welcoming.

    Carbonara, Traditional Bolognese Ragu, Arancini

    WHAT I ORDERED: Carbonara with bucatini pasta, Bolognese Ragu with campenelle pasta, added ghost chili oil that comes on the side, Arancini PARKING: Shared parking lot INSIDE: Fun framed pictures and quotes decorates the walls and there are two self ordering kiosks but you can also order with the staff. There's a tray of pasta next to the kiosks so you can see what the different shapes look like which is a nice touch. The staff are friendly and offered to answer any questions. The dining area is a mix of a couple booths and low/high tables in side. Patio seating outside is also available. THE FOODS/DRINKS: The carbonara was a bit bland so I preferred the bolognese ragu. The arancini comes in one piece per order and was stuffed with filling which looked good as you open it but seemed to be missing some flavor. The ghost chili oil was not spicy at all and was disappointed with that. I did appreciate the extra parmesan so you can add as much to the dish as you'd like. While the dishes were more on the bland side, the pasta was fresh and perfectly al dente. I would suggest ordering a side salad to help balance out the heaviness of the dishes.

    Cacia y Pepe w guancilia
    Lorri G.

    Spaghetti bolognese with side of the pork sausage link sliced, side salad, other entree was cacia y Pepe with new corkscrew looking pasta and added the pork cheek meat--delish! 5 oz red wine and a sparkling beverage and two ate like fine dining with a fast casual feel. Where else can you get homemade pasta and meats made in house!? Yum!!

    Been wanting to try this new to Dallas Italian restaurant and today was my son's 43rd birthday so we offered to treat for dinner. My husband is from Rome so we are super picky about Italian dishes and this place did not disappoint! My son ordered his pasta with bolognese sauce and a poached egg. Hubs had the cacio e pepe and my go to so that I know if it's authentic is to order the carbonara. We all tasted each others plates and they were all' magnifico! Started off with arancini and a burrata appetizer and some grilled bread. Everything we tasted was amazing and my hubs is super happy that he has found an authentic and reasonably priced Italian pasta place. We live in Arlington and we will make that drive again. Definitely worth it. Tutto era delizioso!!! Grazie, ci vediamo la prossima volta!

    Traditional Bolognese Ragu'

    really cute pasta restaurant opened in Lakewood. I ordered the bolognese and thought the pasta itself was very good. It's a little hard to order on the website with uncommon pasta shapes, I had to google each of them myself, but in store they show you the shapes. I also thought the sauce could have more flavor, but it was still very good. For the price point, I think charging for the small pieces of sourdough is a little outrageous, would've appreciated getting one piece with each bowl for free or at least a simple $1. Good amount of pasta in each meal, cute patio and interior.

I had the Italian beef, which was delicious--but definitely spicy. I even asked for light peppers and it still brought some heat. So fair warning: if you're sensitive to spice, you might want to pivot to something else. My wife has been missing New Orleans, so she went with the muffaletta. Let's just say it was a much cheaper solution than flying her to the Big Easy. No gumbo on the menu, but the sandwich hit the spot. After we ate, we did a little shopping and grabbed some fresh Italian ingredients imported straight from Italy--which is always a win in my book. Great food, great vibe, and a true Dallas institution. We'll definitely be back.

I honestly can't remember exactly what they were called, but it doesn't even matter because they were that good. My only note would be the sauce was a little on the salty side, so I would recommend easing up on the salt. Other than that, everything was great.

Chicken Pesto 9/10: I am addicted to these pasta shapes and textures! It was truly so delicious with good amounts of shredded chicken and the toppings are delicious. I had them as leftovers as well and they did not disappoint! Calamari 8/10: These are crispy and the calamari is fresh, good sauces, juicy lime, and some sour vegetables on the side.

Lasagna 6/10 : This portion is definitely a bit smaller and I would say it's a good ol' lasagna. Nothing special except for the sheets which were thin and fresh, and the sauce is a bit salty.
