Great pasta, great salad, and a decent attempt at trying to provide an Italian ambient atmosphere. The mista salad is always a great bite prior to any pasta you may try. Jambalaya is a treat with a lot of ingredients. The linguini alfredo has peas which I love, and the smoked salmon pasta is delish. Yup, definitely going back again.
Came here on pasta night and got the al pacifico with spinach fettuccine. It tasted medicore and the pasta was undercooked. Will not be back and do not recommend. Go pay a few bucks more to have a satisfying meal. The server was unattentive and rude.
The servers and owner are the sweetest people ! So kind and welcoming into the restaraunt. You can see that they enjoy their job ! $8.99 pasta is a great deal, and the portions are huge. The flavor is good, I ordered the scallop dish with peas and a cream sauce, it was good. I really enjoyed the bread with oil and vinegar to start. Always a crowd pleaser. Thanks for the great service !
Not teribly impressed with the pasta they server, tastes like it’s straight out of a box not fresh pasta. the spaghetti and meat balls could have uses a lot more sauce, the cheese on top was a bad idea it made the dish extra expensive and it didn’t add any positives to the taste of the dish, perhaps it would have helped if it was fresh mozzarella. The meat balls were over sized and undercooked and tasted like last weeks meatloaf. The fluffy garlic bread was a real let down it looks very flavourful, but has none. It’s so fluffy it feels like your just eating uncooked dough. Tried to order the Parmesan zucchini, but they were all out, very disappointing.
Delicious food and great, well protected and sunny patio. Had their $ 8.99 lunch and the pasta and salad were both very good. The portions were about right for me but not huge so if you are looking for huge, this will not fit your needs. Free bread and oil and vinegar to help fill up. The service was friendly and helpful but a bit slow. I would certainly go again and try something else.
I’ve been coming here for the 8.99 pasta night for the last year because I’m a cheap college student, and I have to say I’m quite happy with the food and service. The staff is always super friendly and if anything isn’t the way you like, they’re happy to accommodate or give you a free dessert. The pasta comes in pretty big portions (especially fettucines) and the 8.99 price is definitely worth it. Not to mention the fresh bread that you get to start. I usually come for dinner but the lunch special which includes a smaller pasta dish and also soup or salad is also pretty good (8.99 as well I believe).
I met there with a group for a birthday party, a fairly large goup 11 persons but not out of hand, I found the service somewhat slow, even for a large group but it got on towards 45 minutes before drinks arrived and another 30 minutes for them to take appy orders, the mussels were good, a little on the cool side, and my wifes squid was nice, all around everyone seemed ok with their starters.I was really dissapointed with my veal, it was rubery and tough , rather tastless, my wifes chicken looked and tasted like a dehydrated chunk of meat , the sides were cold and it seemed as if it sat under a heat lamp or somthing for a long time, there was a skin on the sauce from sitting and I noticed simular things from the others meals, we all agreed that while it was ok it could have been better.
