    The Garlic Bread and the Tossed antipasto salad is AMAZING!
    Kristie S.

    This was my first visit to The Pasta Shoppe as I am from out of town. It's a nice, cozy, family owned business. It's been around for years and even under new owners, it still tastes great (been told by family members). A lot of the original recipes were kept and current staff before the transition was maintained. The food is AMAZING! First of all, the bread -OMG! The words I would use to describe it- Crispy, Soft, Buttery, Lightly Toasted, Warm, ugh it's so scrumptious! And it's somehow double sided! There's no brown bottom. It's white on top and bottom, so it's just as soft on top as the bottom! The Tossed Antipasto Salad is also AMAZING! From the greens they use to the oil/herb dressing to the meats, Emm Yum! I shared the Manicotti with my mother in law and it was delicious! The ambience is nice, not too dark and not too bright. The lighting is perfect! There's also 3 areas to sit and eat including the bar. I was quite impressed. The price point is a little high, but it's a fancy restaurant with good quality food and great portions!

    You have literally had a year to figure out how to do the carry out and get it right, and you still can't get the basics. Two orders, came to $50, and they forget the basic garlic bread FOR BOTH orders! And if you're cooking a steak, and don't know how to cook it, here is a tip -- use a thermometer. This is not a medium rare. So no garlic bread and I had to cook my own steak.

    Cozy would be the best word to describe the atmosphere. That is to be expected, however, in a downtown location. Be prepared to sit quite close to your table neighbor, but that adds to the family feel rather then detracting from it. Despite the closeness of the seating the restaurant is not overly loud. You can still carry on a conversation with your table and not shout. The restaurant takes up the 1st and 2nd floor of what seems to be a converted row home. The staff is very friendly and the decor is appropriately Italian without over doing it. Service was quick and the food was hot. My table was on the 2nd floor by the kitchen area so it was a bit 'busy' with all the servers coming in and out. Also since it is an old building the floor moved quite a bit with everyone's footsteps and I found that to be a bit disconcerting. I tried the House Chianti, which for being the house wine was rather pleasant. Not too harsh or acidic although the glass was very small (see picture for comparison to a normal sized water glass). I ordered the 1/2 order of Spaghetti with Marinara and added a meatball. It came with a basket of garlic bread. Total with tax and tip came to $15. Everything was very good. The spaghetti was thinner more like angel hair but the sauce still stuck well to the noodles. The marinara was chunkier but still with enough sauce to coat. There also was plenty of sauce which I was pleasantly surprised with. Often times with 'authentic' Italian restaurants they can skimp the sauce. Not the case here. The meatball was dense and really well flavored. The garlic bread was well flavored but a bit oily (ask for extra napkins). The bathroom is through the server area which is a bit odd but clean and well appointed. Overall a great 'special' dinner out in the Downtown area.

    Does anyone know if the pasta shoppe has outdoor seating and if so, would allow dogs?

    They have a small outdoor area, but I don't know if they would allow dogs. I would suggest calling.

We…read morewere greeted by great staff and while we were waiting the owner came by and talked to us and kept us updated on the wait which wasn't long at all. The atmosphere is low key and warm like gathering around for a nice cozy family dinner. The food was great! We got the Bruschetta as a starter which was delicious! For entrees I got the Gnocchi which was stuffed with spinach and served with choice of pesto cream sauce or red cream sauce. I got the crème sauce. My wife got the Cheese Ravioli which was ravioli pockets stuffed with ricotta, romano and parmesan cheese, served in our homemade pasta sauce, topped with shredded parmesan cheese. My wife loved it and she let me try some and it was great! The kids loved their food! My son got chicken tenders and my daughter got a cheese pizza. We then took dessert home we got one Cannoli and one Spumoni Bomb which is a scoop of Spumoni ice creme with a chocolate shell. It was also very delicious! The family and I had a great time and the rest of the restaurant liked they were too! We will sure be coming back soon!

    Took a cooking class with Semolina. It was a nice experience, but honestly I felt like I didn't get…read moreto make very much pasta to take with. It wasn't even enough for two people for dinner. For the cost of the class, I would have thought I would have got a bit more. The other thing that disappointed me was the glasses are open to all ages of children. In my class, I was there with a middle school boy who somewhat took ownership of the class and wasn't behaving very appropriate for what I thought was an adult-only class. This was an event I purchased as an adult-friendly evening, I do wish this was stated when signing up for classes or at least offer adult-only or all ages classes. It just wasn't the vibe I was going for that evening and frankly was pretty annoying. Although, the owner did try to play down the boy's presence and kindly answer his questions, etc - I probably wouldn't take another class there unfortunately. I do enjoy the shop and the pasta is tasty.

Petra and Andy take such pride in their shop and it shows! We started wandering (and salivating over) their small but impressive selection of sauces, oils, salts, and Italian goodies. They have samples of most of their items, so definitely ask when you're in! The class started with Petra giving a brief overview of the general recipe and then we got our hands dirty almost immediately kneading the dough. The dough got to rest for a bit while we got to sip on some beautiful red wine and Petra taught us how to make a puttanesca sauce. When we went back to knead some more, Andy had magically cleaned the stations and set us up for the next round! On our next rest break, Petra finished assembling the puttanesca with some pasta she made earlier that day and we got a healthy serving of fresh pasta and puttanesca, followed by a sample of some of the most amazing Panettone I have ever had. The care that Petra and Andy put into their work is evident, and their commitment to supporting organic, high quality foods is remarkable. Looking forward to many more classes here!
