    Easily the best Italian beef I've had in over a decade
    Christopher D.

    No bells and whistles here! Just great, approachable food. You've got to respect a restaurant that has no paintings or art on the walls with an old scool menu board. I ordered an Italian beef and it was easily the best one I've had in years. Not to mention the service was incredibly fast and the food was ready in about 1 minute. This place is for sure a hidden gem, so don't sleep on it.

    Italian sub with giardinara

    The only sub they have is Italian which was ok. The chopped salad was delicious. I didn't have any of the pizza or pasta, but it looks really good .

    Great options on the menu.

    How come I didn't know about this place years ago? So simple and delicious! Come on in and place your order and the guys behind the counter work their magic. From pizza to salads and pasta dishes. Try the sub sandwich! My little guy likes the meatball sub. The vibe in this place is great. Kind of like half lunch counter half nice restaurant. Always on my list of places to eat when I'm in the area.

    Chopped salad
    Meg R.

    The chopped salad is amazing! Just let them make it and get an extra after to have the following day. Sure it's a simple balsamic dressing, but it makes the salad soo dang healthy! Tonight I called just before 8 and ordered a large chopped salad to take with me to Indiana. Luckily I thought to call before 8, bc they close at 8, not 8:30. I zipped right over and found it waiting for me and seeing an elderly man cleaning the floor on his hands and knees shows they take cleaning very seriously here. Not sure; but I have seen him here every time I'm here. Nice guy! Smiles a lot! Sanitizer available on the counter and smiley workers too! So next visit I will get a meatball sub, as this is the will be the 2nd sandwich I've ever had here. The 1st one was the American and delicious!

    This is the 2nd time coming here over the past couple of months. The first time we came here, I ordered a ham and cheese on white subway sandwich. The sandwich wasn't that good, and was very dry. This time, we came here to get 2 salads and a pepperonni pizza. Not the friendliest restaurant, but the food smelled delicious. We got our food and opened up our pepperoni pizza box, but it was only a cheese pizza. It was too late to go back, so we ate it. The cheese pizza was just ok, especially since it was made wrong. I think we will have to try a different pizza location going forward.

    Extremely light on meat sauce. One and done for sure.

My Anniversary is 12/01…read morebut unfortunately they are closed on Mondays so I made a reservation on Open Table for the next night. I book marked on Pasta D'Arte on Yelp. Sometimes when you bookmark a restaurant your expectations are sky high and sometimes they don't live up to your own delusional expectations. This was not the case w/Pasta D'Arte Trattoria. We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. The restaurant itself has a very nice ambiance w/a wine rack at the entrance. The restaurant itself has exposed brick walls mixed w/wood panels that have a nice rustic feel. Very nice relaxing ambiance w/an awesome, helpful friendly staff. During our meal they played easy listening like Frank Sinatra tunes. Ahhh but the reason for coming the food. When we came in Carlos our server brought us 2 glasses of champagne for our anniversary, very nice. We had bread on the table w/olive oil & Parmesan cheese. We ordered some fried calamari as our appetizers w/a delicious red sauce sprinkled w/red pepper flakes for a little spice. My wife ordered the Sacchetti Al Porcini which was delicious w/porcini & ricotta stuffed pasta sacks served in a butternut/parmesan sauce w/sautéed mushrooms, leeks & butternut squash. Absolutely delicious!!! I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese Carlos & his partner (her name started w/an M?). I'm sorry I can't remember both provided excellent service & made the whole evening very enjoyable. Thanks to both of you & the staff @ Pasta D'Arte for an excellent evening.

Service was not great as we had to ask for the waitress twice to order and to get water and bread refills. Still the waitress knew the menu and specials well and was professional. We got complimentary water, warm bread, olive oil and grated parmesan cheese (probably from a food service as it sat on the table in a ramekin). We shared a glass of house Chianti and fried calamari. I got Tagliolini Neri Fra Diavola and she got Fettucine alla Panna. The wine tasted cheap, calamari was mediocre and the pastas were good, but far from excellent; better than Olive Garden but comparable to Romano's Macaroni Grill. For the prices it should have been much better. The dining room where we sat was clean and attractive but getting worn. The men's room about the same as the dining room. All in all it was a pleasant evening but not the quality experience that other reviews suggested. The restaurant is clearly resting on their reputation and needs a big refresh. For 1 glass of house wine, a shared appetizer and 2 pastas plus tax and tip we spent $140. It was worth about half of that.

    This was our first time here, and we came to celebrate a birthday. We had noted it in the…read morereservation and also had a conversation about it with our server. We were a little surprised when nothing was done for it, which isn't a big deal, but I'll be honest it was disappointing since we did come specifically to celebrate and had talked about it w our server. 3/5 Arancini - Very salty. None of us really enjoyed them because of that. They also came out lukewarm instead of hot. Would have been excellent if it was less salty and came out hot and crispy. 5/5 Fig & Mushroom (subbed for prosciutto) - The menu doesn't specify how the fig is served. Turned out to be fig jam rather than fresh fig, which wasn't what we expected. A little too sweet for me but overall still very much enjoyed it. Their pizza was cooked perfectly with enough toppings and cheese. Very good pizza! 5/5 Braised Short Rib + Polenta - so good! The short rib was excellent, just slightly salty. The polenta was perfect, and it came with a generous portion of wild mushrooms. 2/5 White Wine Cake (recommended as "unique") by our server - This was the most disappointing meal item. Our waitress told us it was special, but it was very bland and didn't match the description or image on their website. Their website showed a cake with a large scoop of ice cream on top, fair amount of whipped cream and raspberry sauce. Ours came with maybe a quarter of the size of that ice cream scoop, a little teaspoon dollop of whipped cream that you eat in one bite and the raspberry sauce was a tiny smear on bottom for decor but there wasn't enough to actually eat it. The cake itself was moist but lacked flavor. It took a really long time to come out, we thought perhaps they forgot, then forgetting we were celebrating a birthday on top of that was disappointing. Atmosphere - Beautiful space, very well done. The only issue is how close the tables are, you can't pull your chair back without hitting someone, and getting to the bathroom requires asking others to move because of how tight the layout is. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would return. While there were a few dishes we wouldn't order again, and others we would. Would love to try the wild mushroom pizza next time! The only thing was that since we had come to celebrate a birthday and didn't end up doing that, the night felt a little less special than we had expected--but still a nice experience overall.

They have an extensive beverage program here, including mocktails, and that's what I settled on. I got one called Strawberry-Basil something, and it was so good. The strawberry-basil shrub was a key ingredient, and I don't get to a lot of places that use a shrub in their drinks. There was definitely a STRONG vinegar taste but for me, that was great. I also ordered a pasta dish, orecchiette and sausage with peas and a sweet, creamy sauce. Orecchiette and sausage are such a classic combo and I hadn't had this sauce before; it was a pleasant dish and was perfectly al dente. Service was good for the bar area. There's parking around, both in the lot right outside and the public parking lot below. And then of course there's the lots by the library and whatnot, so you should be able to find something.
