It was rich, full of flavor, and perfectly spicy--just the way I like it. They were also very generous with the meat. Besides the ramen, I ordered takoyaki, and it was delicious! But let's be honest--when is takoyaki not perfect? All in all, I'll be ordering my ramen and takoyaki from here from now on. My local spot just doesn't meet the criteria anymore.

Delicious ribs. Great cocktails. SO LOUD…read more Went on A Saturday night at 7pm. Busy time. No problem. Server had a lot of tables. Then the jazz trio started playing. Bass, electric guitar, snare drum. Could not hear one thing after that. We had to shout at the server when ordering so she could hear us. Couldn't even talk to the person across the table. The trio was good but the space is Way too small for live music. They were three tables away. In an alcove. Wrong time and place. Put the live music in the bar at 8 or 9 and let diners eat. Told the manager - he didn't care Said something to young man at front desk. He just mumbled " we're real busy" Do not go on a weekend!!

We came on a Saturday and sat at the bar to enjoy a variety of menu items. I first got a mezcal drink to start, which was refreshing with the appetizers we got. We had the papaya salad, dan dan noodles, and mushroom butter dumplings off the happy hour menu. We also had the short rib dumplings - both dumplings were so delicious, the mushroom butter dumplings were more creamy/buttery whereas the short rib dumplings had more of a bbq savory taste. The dan dan noodles were saucy and delicious, and the papaya salad was light and refreshing. The poached prawns were also tasty and refreshing, and the bulgogi steak was definitely our favorite dish with excellent korean flavors and tender juicy pieces of steak. The potato pave was a nice tasty side to it as well. I'm so glad I finally got to try this cute spot and had an excellent meal!

When my traveling companion said there was a fried shrimp place we had to check out, I was…read moreinitially a little skeptical. Why should we go out of our way for something as common as fried shrimp, I thought. I couldn't have been more wrong. We showed up at Frank's on a Friday evening and the place was bustling. We'd already eaten quite a bit that day, so we just ordered four Chicago Gulf Shrimp ("seasoned with garlic"). They were ready about 10 minutes later and sure looked different from any fried shrimp I'd ever had. And my first bite told me they were also better than any fried shrimp I'd ever had. I can't really even describe them except to say they were mind blowing and so, so flavorful. They're also perfectly fried and irresistibly crisp, and the shrimp inside is the perfect texture and taste. I wish we had fried shrimp even remotely this good back home in Toronto. I'll be thinking about this stuff for a while.

Atmosphere: The first thing we noticed upon walking in was the much older crowd dining there. While that's not inherently negative, it set a tone that felt less lively than we expected for a night out with friends. Service: Our waiter was talkative but not particularly helpful. Lots of words, but no real guidance on menu selections, which left us feeling a bit lost. Food: Average at best. With all the great reviews, we were anticipating standout dishes, but nothing impressed us enough to want to return. Overall Impression: Disappointing. The hype didn't match the reality, and while the setting was fine, the combination of uninspired food and lackluster service means we won't be coming back. Final Verdict: Stefani Prime may work for some, but for us, it was underwhelming.

We had calamari to start then I ordered the 22oz. ribeye which was cooked to perfection. My sister ordered the lobster risotto which was decadent! We also had a NY Strip and Lake Superior White fish.

My Anniversary is 12/01…read morebut unfortunately they are closed on Mondays so I made a reservation on Open Table for the next night. I book marked on Pasta D'Arte on Yelp. Sometimes when you bookmark a restaurant your expectations are sky high and sometimes they don't live up to your own delusional expectations. This was not the case w/Pasta D'Arte Trattoria. We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. The restaurant itself has a very nice ambiance w/a wine rack at the entrance. The restaurant itself has exposed brick walls mixed w/wood panels that have a nice rustic feel. Very nice relaxing ambiance w/an awesome, helpful friendly staff. During our meal they played easy listening like Frank Sinatra tunes. Ahhh but the reason for coming the food. When we came in Carlos our server brought us 2 glasses of champagne for our anniversary, very nice. We had bread on the table w/olive oil & Parmesan cheese. We ordered some fried calamari as our appetizers w/a delicious red sauce sprinkled w/red pepper flakes for a little spice. My wife ordered the Sacchetti Al Porcini which was delicious w/porcini & ricotta stuffed pasta sacks served in a butternut/parmesan sauce w/sautéed mushrooms, leeks & butternut squash. Absolutely delicious!!! I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese Carlos & his partner (her name started w/an M?). I'm sorry I can't remember both provided excellent service & made the whole evening very enjoyable. Thanks to both of you & the staff @ Pasta D'Arte for an excellent evening.

Service was not great as we had to ask for the waitress twice to order and to get water and bread refills. Still the waitress knew the menu and specials well and was professional. We got complimentary water, warm bread, olive oil and grated parmesan cheese (probably from a food service as it sat on the table in a ramekin). We shared a glass of house Chianti and fried calamari. I got Tagliolini Neri Fra Diavola and she got Fettucine alla Panna. The wine tasted cheap, calamari was mediocre and the pastas were good, but far from excellent; better than Olive Garden but comparable to Romano's Macaroni Grill. For the prices it should have been much better. The dining room where we sat was clean and attractive but getting worn. The men's room about the same as the dining room. All in all it was a pleasant evening but not the quality experience that other reviews suggested. The restaurant is clearly resting on their reputation and needs a big refresh. For 1 glass of house wine, a shared appetizer and 2 pastas plus tax and tip we spent $140. It was worth about half of that.
