    Baked Stuffed Haddock Ala Lobster tasted great
    Eric D.

    Not much to say about 2 Chefs here other than food is pretty solid. We've already tried a few dishes here ordering takeout and they were all pretty good. We've tried so far raviolis, Mac and cheese, and chicken broccoli Alfredo. My favorite so far is their Baked Stuffed Haddock Ala Lobster which is really tasty. I wished they had online ordering. Calling in on weekends, the restaurant is fairly busy.

    Beef Lasagna

    Love this place. Friendly waitstaff, fun bartenders, and delicious food! What else do you want? It can be loud sometimes since people can have a crowd for a celebration, but it's worth it. Oh, and they have fantastic specials... how about $1 tacos? Fresh meat, almost street taco style, but they are much bigger. Check them out!

    Baked chicken
    Nicole L.

    The menu is small. The portions were average. The prices are good. The place was hopping. Absolutely no parking when I arrived or left. Definitely creative parking is a must. Service was very good, especially given the amount of people. The bar was packed as well. I had a special. Baked chicken. Not a fan of the marinara but it was good.

    Bruschetta
    Mike R.

    First time here. Started with a few salads and Bruschetta. The homemade croutons were really good, the bruschetta was ok. All the flavor was there, the bread wasn't toasted enough for me. Buffalo Mac and cheese was rich and had a little kick to it. The Chicken Parmesan stole the show, the linguine and the chicken was perfectly cooked and it was smothered in cheese. The sauce here is amazingly sweet and hearty. We will def be back, all the food that passed by us looked great.

    Fish n chips with the new fry coating on it. Wasn't a fan of the change& cheap with the fries
    Eric B.

    I only ordered takeout from this restaurant so far and only fish n chips. My first experience was amazing loved the fish and chips. The batter or coating they use was perfect. Much better than the egg roll lady. Fish was definitely fresh. The service for pick up is pretty fast. If they say 15 minutes it will be done in like 10. My last two take out fish n chips orders have been sorta disappointing though. I always like the portion size of the fish but one order didn't taste fresh. Then my next order came with a whole different fry coating that was not good and was falling off the fish. The fries were super soggy as well. They definitely need to stick to the original fry coating they previously used. The new one is trash. Before my last experience ordering fish n chips here. I spoke highly of the fish n chips here. I cant do that now and i wont order it here anymore. This place is always busy so im gonna try something else like chicken parm. Hopefully its bussin. They doing something good to be constantly packed. Maybe they not cheap with the fries if you dine in. From 1 to 10 they get a 6.5. It would be higher if they work on the little things. Batter and stop being cheap with the fries.

    Santa's Hat Cocktail

    Wow, really loved this place! The night didn't start off great. We reserved a booth and they put us at a low top table in a very loud and drafty corner. It had a lot of windows and was a noise tunnel. I was so cold and couldn't hear anything but the waitress kindly and generously moved us to a much better high top table in a quieter and warmer location. After that the night was great! We split the chicken parm egg rolls, wow!! Crispy and perfectly seasoned, I would go back just for those! The Santas Hat cocktail was delish, tart with a fun, sweet and chewy, coconut flake rim, oh so good!! I very much enjoyed it. Then I had a Razz Lime Ricky which was fine, but a bit sweeter than a raspberry lime Ricky would be. Still enjoyed it. My husband had a seafood pasta dish, for the life of me I won't recall the name. But he loved it. He said he doesn't normally love muscles, but they were well cooked and very enjoyable. My chicken piccata had great flavor and was very good, however, it did not give off chicken piccata vibes with the mushrooms, tomatoes and very lite sauce compared to the traditional version. I did really enjoy it though. Minus the difficulty parking, we loved it here!

    Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese  I meant to take a photo but it was too yummy af!

    Hands down one of the best places to eat in Worcester. You need to call for a spot and must get on…read morecall to do so. Freshly made pasta, great wine selection. Sparse, rotating menu that varies weekly. I think I couldn't make this at home--a test for a place being worth the bill--so it's worth the price. It certainly felt authentically Italian. Service was great. It's a tight ship but they make it work. Ambiance was energetic being around the public market but the food is good enough that you can dress up. Wonderful date night/foodie spot. A few bar seats so definitely a partner or friend at max. Not a place to bring kids as it's dine in. Teenagers can walk around of course if you're having a couples night.

    I usually take reviews of Italian restaurants very lightly in Massachusetts because if you use a…read morelarge restaurant review site to find suggested Italian restaurants in most cities, Buca de Beppo and Olive Garden usually make their filthy little way into the top 10, eroding all my trust in that site. (... and humanity) Case in point, most of the Italian dishes being reviewed by diners in cities like Worcester as 'very authentic' are fairly foreign to actual restaurants in Italy. There is TRUE Italian food and American Italian food (classic 'red sauce' joints) I will never besmirch a good classic red sauce joint like Dan Tanas, Rao's or even some of the Federal Hill joints. There is a place in the culinary pantheon for amazing spaghetti meatballs and veal parm ... however 'authentic Italian' they are not. What we got at Pasta Mani is TRUE Italian. In fact, we ate here not more than 2 weeks after coming back from Italy and I can honestly say that we enjoyed our meal here (from a taste perspective) more than many of the restaurants in Italy we ate at. (One with a Michelin star!) This chef's philosophy here is one embraced in Italy ... simple, fresh, cooked with care. The reason tourists go to Italy and geek out over the food is because we've grown up eating Italian food here which is good ... but not made with the same level of passion. Eating a dish of spaghetti carbonara in Italy vs. the US is like listening to the Beatles for the first time on vinyl, in mono! It's hard to find a chef with the knowledge and respect for the ingredients that are displayed here. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu. She was not afraid to make recommendations. She knew the dish's ingredients as well as the chef ... and she was as friendly as could be. The accompanying beer and wines matched the menu perfectly and also were mostly Italian. The menu offers not a lot of choices ... but there is something for everyone. It's not heavy on meat ... but nor are menus in Italy. Maybe a reason why folks over there are not often over 6 feet tall or 200 lbs. vs. many Americans whose 4 major food groups are bacon, burgers, chicken nuggets and occasionally lobster rolls. We had the octopus, which was done perfectly ... the flavors were spot on and the chef clearly knew taste profiles as well as technique. Watermelon and octopus! Who knew? He did. We had the peach pesto cavatelli pasta and the pasta Amatricana with pancetta. Both were amazing ... the favors combined so effortlessly but perfectly. Red pepper flakes, pine nuts, grease from the bacon, tomatoes. It was all just so ... great! All the pasta was perfectly homemade ... and available for purchase as takeaway. Before we knew it, we were regrettably too full for dessert. The chef came out of the kitchen, where 80's and punk music was blasting, and you could watch the cooking happen, to greet us. He had worked in some of Seattle's better Italian restaurants and apparently learned a thing or two. If he had said he worked in Napoli, Sorrento or Rome for many years, we'd have believed it! The only thing we weren't in love with was the actual 'food hall' setup which felt a bit industrial for our liking. But, it was oddly cool and comfortable in a Momofuku type of way. This chef and his team deserve a restaurant. 5 seats and a chef's table are too small for the talent level. This was one of the best Italian meals I've had outside Italy or NYC. In Worcester, near a ballpark ... go figure. We also noticed that everything in the 'restaurant' was spotlessly clean ... and I mean spotless! We'll be back for sure. Places like this that don't serve a fried brick of chicken smothered in cream sauce and melted cheese and call it Italian are few and far between in Central Massachusetts. A great vibe, a great staff, a great meal! If ya know ... ya know.

It is located in the 'hood...feels sketchy just parking and walking in, even with the street lights on. Something about the trash blowing like tumbleweeds while police sirens blare in the background along with the quiet bump of hip hop just makes it feel so poetically grimy. Inside also feels grimy, which I guess is what some look for in a dive bar. (I personally differentiate "seedy and understated" from "grimy to the point of giving me the heebie jeebies".) There is dusty taxidermy all over the walls, some of which are wearing outfits- funny, I suppose, but just makes me feel uncomfortable to think of the globs of dust flying off into my drink or food. But before I ever noticed this, we had ordered a couple beers and a cheese plate. The beers came quickly, but the keg was definitely tapped- tasted flat. On other occasions we have had a decent mixed drink- the coca cola tastes normal and the ice to drink and liquor to mixer ratio is normal. The cheese plate- why they described this as a cheese plate is beyond me. It was one type of cheese- cheddar I think, with saltines still in the sleeve with a soup cup full of spicy Chinese mustard; some regular white onion slices were also piled sadly on the side. Pretty hilarious in all honesty! On another, busier night we were there and sat outside, which is pretty chill. Except that the staff rarely comes to clear old drinks so some tables are filled with empty glasses, making it so that no one can sit there. When you need a refill, you have to go back inside and shoulder your way through at the bar, which will have just 2 bartenders when they're slammed, one time (of the half dozen times we've been) I saw a bar back behind the bar helping. Needless to say, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get a drink at the bar on a busy night. The crowd is definitely mostly white (every time we have been, at least), which could be considered odd? The music is always either honky tonk, old people jazz, or folk music, and the musicians are always white. Overall, a fun place to hear live music (especially if you're white) and get a drink. Would not recommend for an extended stay or to get food.
