My friend and I decided to come here and give this place a try although we miss Las Margaritas. It is decorated differently but, the bar does look somewhat the same. It does seem upscale but, it's ok to be casually dressed. We were seated promptly and received complimentary breadsticks (which are similar to Tuscany Italian restaurant). My friend ordered the Lasagna and I ordered a Pepperoni Calzone. My friend enjoyed the Lasagna and ate the whole thing and I was able to save my Calzone for another meal. We enjoyed the food very much and plan on returning to try other food items. We are definitely hoping this restaurant is here to stay. Fast, Friendly service and awesome Italian food. Definitely worth visiting.

My wife admonished me for my level of honesty here. When I told her that I owed it to the people of…read moreYelp (Yelpers? Yelperitians?) she told me that this place was probably someone's life goal to open. I imagine someone said to themselves, "I've eaten at Italian places before. I bet I could do 15% of that and still stay open." Somewhere between homemade boiled egg noodles and a sit down Fazoli's- is this place. For what you pay per dish, you would expect more flavor, or charm, or character. Instead what we experienced was jarred marinara sauce over frozen chicken patties (like what lunch ladies serve in a cafeteria) that was called chicken parm. Or a plastic jug of sour mix with a plash of something they called a house margarita. I'm sure the people running this place are perfectly fine, aspirational humans. But I won't come back here.

Great service! Great food! I will be coming back for the fettuccine Alfredo any day of the week!read more

A nice variety of dishes and daily specials make the menu fresh with every visit. We have become weekly regulars based on a host of reasons: Certainly, and firstly is the food: Appetizers, bar menu, wine list, main courses, specials and of course the fine deserts have kept us interested. The specials are varied and always fresh. As regulars we have our favorite dishes, but we've really have been delighted with the specials as well But when you think of an entire experience, you have to step back and consider the staff. Chef Alberto is a culinary artist. He and his team will delight you for sure. Wait time for your entrée is always shorter than you expect, and timed perfectly to coincide with your expectations. In terms of the overall experience, we've had the opportunity to get to know a number of other staff members. Gina, front of the house manager, is endearing and always welcoming. She's the glue that holds things together. Gina greets you with a smile and is eager to seat you and assist the waitstaff as they attend to your needs. Elly is one of the hosts that will help you with reservations and check on you throughout your evening. Elly is poised and accommodating. Bartenders Megan and Canaan are top notch and can concoct just about anything. And, they even learn to know your preferences if you visit often enough. We've gotten to know servers Macy, Bella, Darian, Kennedy and Gillian and can attest to their attentiveness and professionalism. We are blessed to interact with them often and find them to be a true team.

I love the stations with to go boxes, wrapped utensils, napkins, bags etc. But the most amazing part is the service. I feel like royalty by everyone there. This is one of my Go-to spots every week now. The home made pasta is just the touch I needed. It's probably ruined me for other places! I just LOVE this place. Also, I was open until 11pm on a Friday so that was convenient since we were working late.

The portions are huge, I got the burrata and prosciutto sandwich and should have saved half for later but it was too good so... I ate almost the whole thing. The burratta is fresh and creamy, the prosciutto is delish, and the focaccia bread they serve it on is the same kind that they use for their yummy breadsticks on the Pasta Garage side. YUM! Next time I'll try out the lattes and smoothies. So glad they're expanding their menu into the cafe!

I went all out and got the 16 layer lasagna, which has 4 different types of meats. Soooo good and the size was large enough that I had the leftovers again the next night.

Food is the quality I'd expect given the folks behind it. Really enjoy the pastas I've had (note, the pastas are more of an Italian course style than an entree unto themselves unless you want a little bit lighter meal). Cacio e Pepe arancini are a must! The name is exactly what you get, just delicious little flavor bombs. Really enjoyed the chicken parm (which could've fed a small village when I had it!). Some very good wines, and the servers are happy to give suggestions. Cocktails are generally solid. Atmosphere is great, lots of energy. Servers are attentive and helpful!
