My husband and I wanted to try somewhere new, so we decided on Pasta Co. The restaurant is really…read morecute and has a cozy, homey vibe, and the service was great. We started with two sangrias the original red and the blueberry and both were really good. We also ordered fried mozzarella. They sat on our table for a bit before we tried them, but to my surprise I still got a great cheese pull! They were delicious. The restaurant also brought out complimentary garlic knots, which were really good too. For our meals, I ordered the chicken parmigiana and my husband got the lasagna. We also added soups for an extra charge I had the tomato bisque and he had the clam chowder. Both soups had great flavor and were really enjoyable. When our pasta arrived, the portions were definitely generous. The chicken was great and the sauce was delicious, but the pasta itself was a little undercooked for my taste and could have used a bit more time. My husband said the lasagna was good, but it lacked a little flavor. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and agreed we'd come back another time to try a different dish.

We felt like we had to be rolled outta there. The waiter was attentive and friendly. He also recommended the Italian red for wine and it was good, too. We made a reservation and we were sat promptly. There was a nice crowd. Such a great, warm vibe. We loved it. We will always come back.

Definitely expected a bit more flavor and crunchier crust but I didn't ask for the extra crispy. Options were regular, crispy or extra crispy, I would have to try it extra crispy next time. Definitely have a nice bar and areas for intimate discussion or open areas to enjoy with family or friends.

The address is a section of businesses, and the restaurant is located in section "D" of the complex. Once we entered, we were confronted by a very friendly staff who told us to sit wherever we would like. There was already a table of about 15 people, so that was a good sign. Ordered our drinks which were delivered very quick. Friendly waitress took our food order, and food was out in under 10 minutes. Portion sizes were very generous! I ordered the chicken parmigiana with fettuccine Alfredo. Wow!! It was so good! My husband ordered the eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti and red sauce and enjoyed it. While this was by no means the best Italian food I have had, I was amazed at the quality of good and the friendliness of the staff. I did not expect good Italian food in McAllen. Highly recommended!

We decided to try a new place while we were in town - glad we did!…read more The place has a bit of an upscale vibe but folks were dressed from dressed up to somewhat casual. Our server was Sublany and she was awesome. Very personable and her recommendations were spot on. We decided to start with the Calamari with sun dried amogio. The calamari were large and prepared perfectly. The sun dried amogio was amazing - great flavor and some heat - the perfect pairing with the calamari. Great start! We tried the soup of the day which was something we'd never heard of much less eaten. It was a green bean soup - the beans were puréed with cream, some cheese and red pepper flakes. We weren't sure how it would taste by Sublany highly recommended it so we went for it. It was really good - the flavor was subtle but great; nice and creamy. We would definitely order it again. For our entrees my wife tried the salcicce which was pappardelle, fennel sausage, roasted red bell pepper, marinara, caprino and red pepper flakes. It was also very good - the pasta was prepared perfectly and the flavors all worked very well - another hit. I selected the lamb chops which were frenched lollipops, blue cheese cream and an arugula salad. The chops were perfectly prepared and the blue cheese cream on top was amazing - made very good chops excellent. The arugula salad also had a great flavor. I would also order this again. For dessert we decided to share a Hand Pie which was an apple pie with caramel drizzle and ice cream. The texture of the dough was great and the apples had a great cinnamon flavor which worked well with the caramel drizzle and the vanilla ice cream. This place was great! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more upscale than the run of the mill restaurants!

A-MAZING Chicago-style pizza!…read more Definitely the best in the Valley, maybe the best in Texas. The sauce is perfect (not too sweet), and the crust is fresh. I've had the veggie and it was awesome. The pizza is about 2-3 inches thick so it takes about an hour to bake. Be prepared to wait a bit (it's TOTALLY worth it). I haven't visited the Chicago Ave. location (how fitting!) downtown yet, so I'll have to update regarding the interior, etc. #RGV
