The service is always great, food is always hot, and the kitchen/restaurant is always clean. The dishes are made differently from other restaurants with an influence from southern Italy where the owners Grandmother was from. The baked pasta is a mix of savory, well seasoned, and yummy pasta and a hot dish. Perfect for after a ski trip or rainy day. I am also a fan of the antipasto salad. It has a great crunch, tastes fresh, and is cold (feeling like they prepare it and bring it out right away). Honestly, I ate too much because it was so good . This last trip, Heaven, was our waitress. She was friendly, personable, and had an excellent memory for our experience. All of our food came out hot and together.

That said, for an Italian restaurant, the appetizer menu felt a little confusing. Seeing items like a baked potato and chicken tenders listed alongside the Italian dishes threw off the theme. Classics like bruschetta, arancini, or other traditional starters would fit the menu much more naturally and elevate the overall experience. The lasagna itself was delicious -- rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The only challenge was the presentation. Serving it in a ramekin made it harder to cut and enjoy. A plate would make the dish much easier to eat and let the layers shine the way they're meant to. Overall, it's a lovely restaurant with great service and strong potential. A few thoughtful tweaks to the menu and presentation would make the experience even better.

Nang and her husband are absolute gems (she does the cooking, he takes the orders and serves with a smile!). They learned the recipes and techniques from Aoy, the OG, and they still do it just as great. I had the grilled orange chicken, wontons, and hot and sour soup (absolutely to die for, my favorite spicy soup for kicking a cold). The food was piping hot, huge portions, great taste and flavor, and I had a great time learning about the business in its new hands! The building is exactly the same as it's always been--a homey ambiance, small counter for ordering with a few stools for the patiently waiting customers, to-go meal supplies like cutlery and napkins, and local business cards hung by the door promoting the other hard workers in this little Yooper town. Rice Paddy is the gem of Marquette and I have a feeling it always will be. (Pro tip: grab an order of Rice Paddy and head over to the Wooden Nickel for a beverage with your meal or park at Presque Isle for a picnic!)

I then ordered a shrimp eggroll what was like eating coleslaw deep fried, nothing like an eggroll I ever ate. Crab wontons, average. All for 27.00 never going back!

None of the chocolates that I grabbed, and I had quite an assortment or special to me. The only one I liked was the dark chocolate with a caramel.
