Oh my goodness everything was so SO good!…read more I had this one bookmarked forever and had driven by throughout the decades and finally decided to give it a go. The parking lot is small but we snagged a good spot when it wasn't that busy. They have so much to choose from! Everything we tried was delicious! Very well sized arranchini ! We also tried their meat lasagna and brosciul and it was all delectable. So glad to have tried an Italian staple that's been there for many years, loved the old school feel. Friendly service! It's cash only!

For anyone who truly appreciates great pasta, this spot is a gem. Everything is made fresh and you…read morecan taste the difference in every bite. The ambiance has that warm, authentic Italian feel that makes you want to sit back, enjoy a glass of wine, and take your time with the meal. Service is always A1 -- welcoming, attentive, and they even greet you with a little surprise when you arrive, which is such a nice touch. The ownership clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in both the food and the experience. Fresh pasta made to order, fantastic flavor, and prices that are more than fair for the quality. If you're in the area and love real Italian food, this place is an absolute must-try.

If I would rate them with negative stars if I could. I have never been compelled to lodge a complaint about a product until now, but the quality was so shockingly terrible that I feel compelled to express my dissatisfaction. HOW did this get past product testing? I would rather eat roasted cow balls over this. "Perfect Pasta Inc" is a very ironic name-- it made my entire family cackle. Worst pasta we've ever had. Never buying again.

The first bag was bad so I assumed I needed to make the purchase again. The second bag was worse. Either the directions are wrong, or these do not properly maintain flavor. We had to dump them in the trash both times. I tried cooking them longer. Still no browning still no proper cooking. This product should be removed from grocery stores.

Had family visiting and considering the bitterly cold weather, I was feeling in the mood for some…read moreItalian comfort food. I happen to live close by, and it has been on my list for a while. Extremely glad I made the short trip. Tortello has a casual feel: you order up front before you are seated. I ordered the cacio e pepe, plus foccacia with honey and ricotta as an appetizer. The latter was an excellent combination of flavors and textures, the savory and crunchiness of the bread with the soft creaminess and (not overwhelming) sweetness of the cheese and honey. The cacio e pepe had a high bar to clear as a result, but did so handsomely. The pasta had a pleasant bite, and the pepper and cheese were excellent. In short, a great experience. I look forward to coming here when it isn't 5 degrees outside!

I have been to Tortello a few times. This visit was during the Do Division street festival. It was…read morea beautiful day & they were busy. You place your order inside at the counter. Then they give you a number & you choose your seats. They bring the food out to you. We chose the covered patio. It was very cute. Every time I've been here, the owner is there. Not particularly friendly & a little condescending. I'm not sure if it's because he's Italian & that's just his way. But at this visit, after I ordered, he expressed, "wow, that's all you are ordering? Are you sure? Ok." Last time I was there we ordered online & when I arrived it took another 35 minutes for my food to be ready. No apologies, just said something about good food taking a long time. We ordered the fennel, celery & orange salad. $12. It was more than enough for two people. Delicious. It was mostly celery though. Very few orange pieces. Also tried the tortelli for $25. It had burrata, butter, sage, & hazelnuts. There were 4 tortellis. They were good. Nothing amazing. I would have liked a like more to the dish. More sage or roasted hazelnuts. Maybe 6 or so for the price. Also, they charge $1 for water. We didn't order bread or wine this time since it was just lunch. Next time I'll try a different pasta & maybe dessert.

Salad was enough for 4 - 6 people. Me and my partner had plenty of leftovers. So many ingredients almost too many to list. The ingredients that stood out were the Asparagus, mushrooms, and broccolini. Ingredients were hot and delicious. We split the Carmelized Onion Tortellini. It was magical. Great buttery taste and the Carmelized Onions oozed out of the tortellini when I cut into it with the fork. We were stuffed when we left and had enough leftovers to eat for dinner the next day. Cannot wait to go back....

We came at lunch time & got right in. Ordered the focaccia bread. It came with olive oil & marina sauce. So amazing. Also shared the kale Ceasar salad. It was huge! Enough for 4-6. It had a lot of ingredients. Roasted asparagus, broccolini, shaved Brussels sprouts, mushrooms. It was delicious, but I would have preferred a lighter summer salad. It was hearty & warm. I'd get it again in the fall. We shared the caramelized onion tortellini. It was huge too. Amazing prices for the amount of food. It was so delicious. The onions were sweet & the pasta was perfect & fresh. Lots of leftovers to take home. Cute ambiance, friendly service. Loved that we could watch the chefs prepare the food too. Can't wait to come back for more pasta & try dessert.

First time trying Berto's today after hearing good things about their sandwiches…read more I placed an Uber Eats pickup order around 11:40 AM, and the app notified me around 11:50 that the order was ready. I arrived around noon. The place wasn't busy from a customer standpoint. There was no line, a few people eating, and four employees behind the counter preparing food. I could already see a bag with my name on it sitting behind the counter, but after standing there for a couple minutes, nobody acknowledged me. Eventually someone came over, but there was no greeting, smile, or "Can I help you?" I gave my name, he put the bag on the counter, slid it aside, and walked away without saying anything. As I started leaving, another employee called out that the order actually wasn't ready yet, despite the app saying it was. She added another sandwich to the bag, tied it up, and handed it back to me. Again with no thank you, apology, or even basic friendliness. The sandwiches were decent, but not so amazing that the customer experience doesn't matter. I'm seeing this kind of indifferent attitude at more and more restaurants lately, and it really affects whether I come back. A little acknowledgment and courtesy goes a long way.

I ordered my usual 10" cheese and sausage, and let me just say, it was amazing! Crunchy crust, savory but not too acidic sauce, plenty of perfectly spiced sausage, and a good amount of quality cheese, all cooked just right.

On my simplified scale of A) Would gladly order and pay for again, B) Wouuld eat only if someone else is buying or C) You couldnt pay me enough to ever try again, Pizza Kitchen is definitely an A+.
