There are coffee shops, and then there are places that make you want to slow down. Ake Larry is…read morefirmly the latter. Walking in, you feel it instantly -- that rare combination of cozy and intentional that so many cafés try to manufacture but so few actually achieve. The space is genuinely charming. The kind of place where you settle in, exhale, and stop thinking about whatever was on your mind five minutes ago. Whether you're coming in solo with a book or just need a quiet corner to exist for a while, Ake Larry holds that space beautifully. But the real story here is the owner. I don't throw around the phrase "best owner ever" lightly -- but this one earned it. They checked in on me personally, asked how I wanted my coffee made, and actually listened. Not in a transactional way, but in the way someone does when they genuinely care about the experience they're putting in front of you. That level of attentiveness is vanishingly rare and it transformed what could have been a standard café visit into something that actually felt personal. The coffee itself delivered on that promise. You could taste the intention behind it -- well-extracted, balanced, and made exactly to spec. No guessing, no inconsistency. Just a really good cup of coffee crafted by someone who clearly takes their craft seriously. The pastries and food rounded it all out perfectly. Nothing felt like an afterthought -- everything on the menu seemed to belong there. Ake Larry is a regular rotation spot. Full stop.

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 .

We saw online that they have daily lunch specials but it's not advertised in the restaurant. The…read morestaff had to dig around for a while to find the lunch menu. It's basically $2-$3 off select dishes. We ended up ordering the chicken parm and the 12in short rib sandwich. Total was about $47 for both. Pretty pricey. The chicken parm barely had any pasta. We thought there'll be more pasta under the chicken, but sadly no. Short rib sandwich was dry and lacked flavor. We dipped it in the chicken parm sauce which made it better.

SERVICE: great service overall, brought some cookies by the pound and they were accommodating and timely. Plenty of seating on the right side of the restaurant as well. Love the vibe of the place. FOOD: the best part! The meatball sub was delicious and generous with the meat and cheese, highly recommend. Tons of other pizza and sub options that you can choose from. The assortment of cookies and cannolis in the market are a great price and option to try for dessert or if you need a sweet treat. Definitely check out Cortina's!

I also appreciate that every table comes with olive oil and vinegar. We ordered the mentai cream pasta and the uni pasta. The mentai pasta was packed with umami and the pasta itself was cooked perfectly al dente. The nori and mushrooms paired really well with the sauce as well. The uni pasta was just as good. The sauce was rich and creamy and the uni on top was fresh and buttery. The meal also comes with complimentary bread and salad. The salad was light and refreshing which helped balance out the richness of the pasta. The bread was simple but great for dipping in olive oil and vinegar. The service is always friendly and efficient. If you're a fan of Japanese Italian fusion, this place is definitely worth a visit. I honestly have nothing bad to say and can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Servers were super friendly immediately upon walking in. Luckily, there was no wait when we came…read moresince this spot is quite small. Servers were able to quickly take our order and food came out in less than 10-15 minutes. It's nice that they provide salad and bread as sides with each pasta order. I actually really liked their bread cause it had a nice toasted crisp on the outside and the butter melted perfectly on the inside. We got the uni pasta and the tomato cream sauce with shrimp and spinach, which were both good. They each had their own characteristics-- the uni was creamy while the tomato sauce definitely carried the other pasta. I'd definitely come back and hope to try the mentai cream pasta next!

It was a late night, so we didn't want to eat too much. We asked to split the lasagna, and it ended up being the perfect portion for two. The lasagna itself was meaty, rich, and really satisfying. We also ordered the garlic cheese bread. It wasn't as crunchy as we had hoped at first, but the staff was more than happy to remake it for us, which we really appreciated. It definitely tasted better after. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with good food and attentive service. We'll definitely be back.

Yoooooooooooooooo! This spot is modestly fire I probably order takeout from here like once or…read moretwice a month whenever I'm craving that old school Italian comfort food type vibe. I'm not gonna lie though... it is kinda pricey for pasta but the recipes really remind me of grandma cooking -- super traditional, hearty, old-school Italian style. Nothing wrong with that at all, it's just personally I'm more of a pink sauce, creamy vodka sauce kinda guy these days Usually my go-to order is the Chef's Special rigatoni with sausage and mushrooms in that porcini sauce That dish never really misses for me. I also ALWAYS gotta get the breaded lamb chops with the peppercorn sauce because those are honestly one of the best things on the menu in my opinion. Crispy outside, juicy inside, sauce goes crazy This time though I decided to switch it up and tried the Linguine Sarno. It was good overall, seafood was solid, pasta cooked right, but I honestly wish it had more spice to it I kept waiting for a little kick that never fully came. Still decent though if you like lighter seafood pasta flavors. Also quick warning about the calamari because I learned the hard way last time make sure you finish it the SAME day. Once it sits overnight it turns super hard and chewy. Even tossing it in the air fryer the next day couldn't save it lol. One thing I will say is the service can be a little slower than expected sometimes. I usually call my order in like an hour ahead before getting off work, and this time when I got there it still wasn't ready yet But to be fair, the staff has always been really friendly, professional, and respectful every time I come through, so it kinda balances out. Ambiance is pretty much your standard quiet Italian restaurant vibes Nothing super modern or trendy, no loud music, just calm, chill, old-school dinner atmosphere where everybody's just there to eat good pasta and mind their business Overall still a solid comfort food spot when you're in the mood for classic Italian flavors

From the moment we walked in, I felt like I had time-traveled straight to 1972... almost like dining on the set of The Godfather. The atmosphere is classic, warm, and authentic, and the customer service was outstanding--attentive without being overbearing. We started with a Caesar salad to share, and it was the real deal. You could actually taste the anchovy--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Easily enough for two. My wife ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and said it was some of the best she's ever had. That's saying something. I had the chicken parmigiana, and it was spot on--perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely mouthwatering. The side of spaghetti marinara paired with it couldn't have been better. The meal came with hot rolls served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar--simple and excellent. We also ordered the garlic cheese bread, and it was fantastic--fresh garlic, plenty of parmesan, perfectly done. Fair warning: it's a lot for two people, but it takes home beautifully. If you're in the mood for authentic Italian comfort food with a nostalgic, old-school vibe, this place delivers. We'll definitely be back.

I like how they implemented marble to some of their furniture like the bar table and the pillars. We got two pasta, wine, and free complimentary bread. Yeah, I know it's very carby, but the flavor profile is all there. The Rose pasta was my favorite because it had a nice touch of creaminess and savoriness. The bread that kinda looks like a Naan is fluffy and soft on to chew on. Doesn't hurt your jaw like most crispy bread. The wine was okay, I forgot the brand, but it was too dry and not bold enough for our palate. Still a good cleanse for each bite of the noodles.

This review is for the really rude owner who is an Asian man that came out from around the corner and scared me and my children by giving us attitude about the box I tried to use for my left overs . (He was clearly watching us thru the cameras which is very creepy). He has the items so cluttered by the drink machine that it accidentally tipped over and all his JUNK fell over, WHICH I PICKED UP. And rather than apologize for the inconvenience and offer a bag, he has the audacity to give me attitude and rude looks to me and my children and yells "why are you using that?! Use a bag! That box is only for corn dogs!" Like ok sir I didn't know you have fckn bags you didn't have them out in an appropriate place??? NOT TO MENTION: we came here for the corn dogs (which all the boxes are for but we couldn't use???) and they didn't even have any. NONE. No corn dogs at all.... We had to settle for their overpriced pastas . Yeah, if it wasn't for him being super rude, this review would have been a 4 or 5 stars simply because the girls were so nice & pasta was good . Other than that, if you don't want to be yelled at by the owner for an inconvenience that HE caused by poor organization, DONT come here ‍ besides, we saw him just sitting in the back without hair cover while all the women worked smh typical ! Hope those girls find better and more respectable employment
