They're open on Mondays, which is rare since many restaurants are closed, so it was nice to try it before leaving. My sister ordered the spaghetti and cheese with two large meatballs, garlic bread, and the Chicago beef with Italian sausage, and both were great. The meatballs were especially delicious. I just wish more were included, though extras are available to order. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was very cheesey and flavorful. Afterward, we noticed you can add pepperoni and make it a "Chicken Parmeroni," which sounds like a better option. The large antipasta salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, and it's nice that you can choose your dressing . I really love the antipasta salad! Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth recommending! Wish there had been time to try more of the menu.

Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was like why I can find at home and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!

I went when they had 2 pasta dishes for $12. Keep in mind, only the classics and no toppings/meat…read moreincluded. However, it's the regular size so it was quite reasonable! 1. Pasta Fresca. What caught my eye were the red onion, tomatoes, and roasted garlic. It was good and quite refreshing with the sauce but it was more on the peppery side. If they reduced that it would've been better so I could taste more of the other veggies, too. 2. My go-to is their Basil Pesto Cavatappi. I changed it to fettuccini instead and it was good! I love the mushrooms inside and it was flavorful and not too salty.

We had business in the area so decided to have a late lunch at Noodles and Company . My husband…read moreordered the rigatoni in a tomato cream sauce with a side of Caesar salad. I had the Japanese Pan noodles with chicken and side of garden salad . The rigatoni bowl was a deeper size than mine , it was a bit spicy for my husband's taste , but that's on him there was a fire symbol next to the item on the menu. I tried the sauce and tomato'/ basil left over and I was ok with it. My order I felt was too small for the price . The noodles and other ingredients had good flavor , but not a good value . In addition I paid extra for chicken . My garden salad was very good - the tomatoes and cucumber were fresh as was the lettuce mix . That was a winner , plus the dressing was not a fat laden creamy one it was a balsamic type. Overall we just thought $37 was too much for what we had and our original idea of getting Qdoba next door would have been a better choice for less money . The guy taking our order was helpful , the soda machine with a variety of Coca Cola products is also a plus. I was just expecting a bigger pile of noodles that's all .

I absolutely loved the salad, so much I took one to go. It was fresh and delicious The pasta was meh, I wanted like a string pasta but they had another option this week. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. No reservations and when they are sold out they are done! I would try this place again.

I've been craving Italian food, especially pasta and so when we happened to be in St John's…read moreneighborhood my husband located this restaurant on Yelp. It's in what I will call a "cluster" of other food businesses, and offer communal seating outside. There is also some tables inside but the restaurant itself is very small. Next door is The Garrison, a bar. And next to that is a ramen, sushi & sake place. The menu is very small, but every item seemed curated and was well-described. We got both the pasta offerings available that day; a rigatoni with tomato sauce and a gnocci with alfredo sauce. We also got the side of artisanal bread for dipping, and a salad dressed with cider vinaigrette. Everything was delicious. As a family of 2 adults and a toddler, I wish we would have ordered an extra side of the bread, it was some of the best bread I've eaten recently. Size-wise, I wouldn't say the plates are "sharing plates". The pasta portion was individual in my opinion, however the salad was plentiful and could be shared by maybe 2+ people. This restaurant is "tipless" and the tips are apparently already factored into the food prices. This is a cool feature however, I noticed the service was slack... perhaps because of this fact. I had to bus our table and it was never wiped clean before we ate. I also had to retrieve plates napkins cutlery, water glasses & water for our table myself. I also was a little disappointed they only had one high chair that was being used elsewhere while we visited. My spouse liked being able to easily order beers from The Garrison while eating food from Pastificio. I liked the atmosphere for the most part also, and plan on coming back in the future, but only on a good weather day so we can sit outside in their patio.

We waited for them to get mushrooms since they said it was on the way here so we waited since we wanted mushrooms in the pasta. 20 mins later still wasn't there so we ordered.

Likely not visiting this location again... I was driving my…read moreson home from surgery and needed to grab food for the family after being at the hospital all morning. As I entered, the guy working the register apologized for being on his phone and put it away to help me. Very nice. I placed my order and he was very kind & patient. The 3 ladies standing in the prep kitchen continued with their very loud, all Spanish conversation, not really appearing to move to prepare any food (including for the two customers who entered after me). I don't care that it was Spanish, just that their conversation seemed to supercede the need to do their job in that moment... So, I took my waters & treats out to my family & returned for the entrees I ordered. As I re-entered, one customer left with an order, another sat at a table waiting for his order, and a to-go order remained on the counter. While I was waiting, the guy walked over & offered me the to-go order on the counter "if I wanted it because the customer canceled their order after the food was made and it would just have to be thrown out, unless someone wanted to take it." He did warn me that it had been sitting out for about 40 min so if I agreed to take it I should heat it well to be on the safe side. So I said sure. One of the ladies from the chatting trio had starting preparing some food, finished the order of the gentleman who ordered after me & then continued with my order. In the meantime, a manager, or assistant manager appeared from the back and was informed that I would be taking the abandoned to-go order. They approached and said, "are you sure? It's been out for a while." I inquired about how long, and they said over two hours. AT THAT POINT, WHY IS IT STILL SITTING ON THE COUNTER AND BEING OFFERED TO CUSTOMERS?! SO NOT SAFE! So I declined that food & just waited for my order, which was taking a long time. When my third & final entree was completed, the guy at the register pointed out that they used the wrong kind of chicken & slid it back to a woman in the prep area. However, I had already been waiting too long & said just let me take it as is. She hesitated while her friend was still chatting away at her so I busted out my fluent Spanish to say, I don't have time to wait for you to fix the mistake because you were too busy chatting with your friends. The guy was apologizing but I told him he didn't have to apologize since he wasn't the one that messed up the order. Maybe that (assistant?) manager needed to spend less time in the back and more time clearing counters of old food and redirecting employees.
