    Tucked away in old town Avondale this unassuming spot is a must try. You walk in the front greeted by what appears a small spot. To the left a few booths and to the right the kitchen. The smells of Italian cooking fill the air. Yet you walk through to a big seating area in the back. Nice decore with all tables formally set up and Italian instrumental music in the background. Lina took care of us and still managed even though this place got busy real quick. We had some delicious zucchini appetizer along with the complimentary toasted bread. The penne arriabatta was delicious and my date raved about the creamy Tuscan chicken. I look forward to trying again. If you partake in wine I noticed a big selection. I really enjoyed the experience and the super clean, nice smelling bathrooms made me smile.

    This is my 3rd time here and I always love the experience. The food is served quickly and warm. Our hostess was the sweetest and very attentive!

    Been wanting to try this place out since a few weeks now and finally made time to visit with my boyfriend and son. Parking in area was pretty limited, it was around 7pm on a Friday. Was greeted upon arrival. Gave off a cute little Italian vibe, like as if I just walked into a cafe in Italy! Food was mediocre. We ordered the trio and steak Alfredo pasta. Trio dish was good, but tasted like a possibility of it being microwaved. The steak Alfredo was ok, meat didn't render my taste buds although the pasta was a nice translucent yellow creamy color. still a pleasant experience with the servers and everyone else who works here

    A nice local spot with good food. I think the most simple things are often looked over. The Pasta Factory is an Italian restaurant on the Old Town Avondale strip and I am happy to say I'll be going back again. The food was very good. They started us off with a nice bruschetta which was so fresh and delicious. We ordered the trio which had chicken parm, lasagna and spaghetti. The chicken Parmesan was my personal favorite. My wife ordered the chicken carbonara and we wanted it very much. Finished the meal off with a five layer cake that my daughter loved. Note, they made my daughter's order specifically to what she requested and there were no issues, confusion, or difficulty. They were happy to do it and that alone was awesome.

    Steak Alfredo: 2/5 The cook on the steak was supposed to be medium rare it was more on the rare side and the fat wasn't even rendered Trio: 3/5 lacked flavor and tasted frozen but tasted better than the steak dish Service: 4/5 they were nice had no complaint and food came moderately quick Ambiance: 5/5 was the best thing out of the experience overall i enjoyed it but im sure they can do better

    A little disappointed after reading all the reviews about this place. The food was ok, but small portions. If you're paying over $20 for a meal and you see pictures in the reviews with the meals (chicken Marsala and chicken piccata) having 2 pieces of chicken and you get yours and it's one piece of chicken and a small serving of mashed potatoes in one and a small serving of broccoli in the other it's a little frustrating. The tiramisu was the highlight of the meal. The salads were mediocre, the lettuce a little old.

    Tables set up with glass wines, appetizer plates, white table covers and folded decorative napkins

    Delicious food, drinks and romantic ambiance in the back room. Our server was attentive and friendly. For alcohol I had a delicious Red Sangria (variety of apple, orange and blueberries). As an appetizer we got calamari, the fried batter was seasoned with herbs, the calamari was thick and crispy. My dish was spaghetti with meatballs. The meatballs melt as you bite them. Our toddler had Alfredo with chicken, small portion sufficient for 5 years or less.

    If anyone gives this local hangout anything less than a 5 star review, maybe hit up a food chain…read more The food chains are consistent with 2 star reviews. 2 stars are not an option with Transfer Station... Absolutely love this spot! Tucked away in the backyard of the tap house, this food truck is hands-down one of my favorite places to grab a bite. As regulars we are super stoked to have a consistent tasty food truck to enjoy! The food is consistently delicious--fresh, flavorful, and made with real care and LOVE! Every time I come here, I try something new and it never disappoints. Tonight was steak Friday! What a treat. The meat was melt in your mouth tasty and full of flavor. Happy Fri-yay!! The frites on the side were crispy, hot and flavorful! As a regular, I can honestly say the quality and service are always top-notch. The vibe of enjoying amazing food outdoors with a great craft beer in hand just can't be beat. It's the perfect combo of chill atmosphere and seriously good eats. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out. This place is a gem in our Arizona desert! :)

We ordered the burger and the green chili Mac & cheese. Our order came out in a timely manner and they dropped it off to us at the bar. The Mac & cheese was creamy and cheesy with a nice crunchy bread crumb on top .. and the green chili added a nice kick. The burger was cooked perfectly and stacked up with fresh tomato and pickle. Overall a great experience.. and there are many more items to try on the menu.. so we'll be back!

    Delicious Mac & Cheese Meets Garden-Fresh Salads…read more I didn't expect a mac and cheese spot to also win me over with their salad, but this place nailed both. What makes it stand out: * Truly made to order: You watch them start your bowl from scratch. My BBQ Steak & Bacon Mac hit the table so delicious, with that perfect stretch you only get when the sauce is built right then. * Fresh ingredients, no shortcuts: The kitchen is serious about produce. The Roasted Vegetables & Fruit in my salad were crisp and peppered with fresh strawberries. * Customization without the chaos: You pick your pasta, cheeses, and mix-ins, and they build it while you watch. * Salads that aren't just a side hustle: My wife ordered the savannah salad with fresh avocado that was amazing with the Honey Mustard Dressing. This could be a main stop just for salads Vibe & Service Counter service, but the staff calls out your name like they actually cooked for you. Because they did. And I was eating top quality food in minutes. Dessert Don't sleep on the dessert either. The Chocolate Fudge Cake and Tiramisu was amazing. Bottom line If you want mac and cheese that tastes like someone's grandma made it five minutes ago, and a salad that is fresh then this is your place to fill your tummy. Fresh ingredients and made-to-order isn't a tagline here. It's the whole operation.

    The owner is very nice and present in the store often. I have been told that he supports local…read moreschools as well. I have tried the brown and my husband had the cake, both were great. We love how customizable the pasta/mac and cheese meals are.
