Way more affordable than a night out at an Italian restaurant, but you still get the high quality food. Depending when you stop by, you might see some fresh pasta being made right in front of your eyes. Doesn't get fresher than that. We love some of the frozen platters like lasagna and eggplant rollatini that we just throw in the oven for an hour and voila, perfection. And be sure to stop by on the 29th each month for 29% of gnocchi. We always have trouble deciding which flavor gnocchi to take, but we always know it will be good. And don't think about throwing grocery store sauce on their perfectly made pastas. Grab one of their sauces for unforgettable flavor. On our latest trip, we tried the fettuccini and their four cheese sauce, which we added sautéed mushrooms and Mahi to at home. That sauce was absolutely mouth-watering and the pasta had delightful texture. The ladies in the shop are always friendly and helpful, so don't hesitate to ask if you have questions about how to prepare something or how many people it will serve. If you're not in the mood for pasta tonight, many of the products are frozen so if you're in the area don't miss your chance to stock up! This small shop is filled with pasta machines and wall to wall options. You can feast your eyes on bountiful pastas, desserts like tiramisu & profiteroles (our favorite), and even a small market of Italian and Argentinian coffees, sweets, and wines, so why not stop by and take a look?

Finally I tried the new place. Same offerings. Different sizes to satisfy clientele budgets. I could just stand in front of the freezer all day to pick my selection. Today was Lobster Sorrentinos- mini ravioli stuffed with lobster and I picked a pesto sauce for the topping. Easy to prepare at home. Definitely delicious to consume. I didn't even check to what fresh pastas were available; this is what I used to purchase all the time. Service was spot on. I walked into the store and a clerk welcomed me and asked if I needed help. Nice. Prices were reasonable. And BTW, they supply all the neighboring restaurants and then some, with the fresh pasta on their menus. Go try it. I know I'll be back. I'm sure I'll be able to up my rating to 5 stars with my next update.

Di Farina - A True Hidden Gem!…read more Visited Di Farina for a company dinner tonight, and I am so glad I did! This is one of those hidden gems you almost don't want to share, just so there's always a table waiting for you. We started with a spread of appetizers: grilled octopus, garlic shrimp, fried burrata with arugula, and perfectly layered potatoes topped with braised short rib and fonduta. Every single dish was incredible--I honestly can't pick a favorite, though the short ribs stole my heart. For mains, I had the osso buco with pappardelle (their pastas are all freshly made in-house, and you can taste the difference). Our table also enjoyed the branzino, which was deboned tableside, the massive squid ink seafood linguini (so loaded with seafood you could barely see the pasta), and a rich, creamy carbonara that was perfectly balanced. Desserts were the perfect finale: tiramisu, cheesecake, and a refreshing lemon sorbetto, each as good as the last. The service was flawless, and the entire staff is Italian, adding to the authentic charm of the experience. Di Farina has officially become my new go-to spot for Italian nights. 10/10 on food, service, and atmosphere--can't wait to return!

You park in the back and enter along the bar. The intimate seating area faces the street. On this night I was late in joining some of my friends so I ordered simply, spaghetti carbonara which is always my Italian "go to". Combined with a lovely Cabernet, my dinner was like eating in a small trattoria in Italy. I like that they give you a choice of handmade pasta and toppings to choose from. We also got some complimentary cannolis which made me smile. Oh, and if you want some pasta to take home? Go to their attached shop and pick it up. Your restaurant receipt will give you 10% off if you use it within 7 days. Di Farina is that place that you need to add to your regular rotation of restaurants. It's just that unique of a place!

I went through the reviews and pictures extensively! Let me just say, not a single lie was told about the greatness that is La Perla! This is going to be a long review! Let's start with the service since that's a huge dealbreaker for me regardless of food taste. We had one main server, but another was assisting as well. I hate that I didn't ask their names again to include it in this review. Both women were extremely helpful, they checked on us the perfect amount, made sure we were satisfied, and even helped in our decision making. Not only were they extremely professional but they were super kind and honestly, both of them were very funny and made the night quite enjoyable without even trying; I could tell it was just their natural personality shining through their commendable service. Now on to the food. We ordered appetizers, entree, and dessert. We wanted help choosing our wine, and based off a couple questions, the selections of red our server recommended was very nice. The bruschetta was the absolute best I have EVER had! I am talking about an explosion of flavor that I didn't expect! I don't like fried foods but I did still enjoy my boyfriend's calamari/zucchini appetizer. He himself devoured it and said it was amazing. Our entree's were delicious and the ingredients were so fresh. Dessert was fantastic! I ordered the cannolis since they're a favorite of mine, however it is my birthday so they also brought out a cream puff and to my absolute surprise I loved it more than the cannoli (which was still super tasty). The restaurant is small and intimate. I saw a review saying it was noisy, but honestly you can't go to an Italian restaurant and expect it to be quiet. They foster an atmosphere where you want to eat, chat, and be merry. The "noise" was sounds of happy patrons enjoying their meals and their company. Nothing to complain about at all! As we ate I noticed that the staff turned over the tables very quickly. That was actually interesting to witness; as a group leaves, the staff ensures to promptly clean the table and reset it and as soon as you turn your head it's as if no one had dined there yet. Loved that, because who wants to be seated next to someone's leftovers? Haha. Overall, I loved my time here as well as my meal. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to others and I want to thank the staff for the amazing dinner experience!

The bruschetta was excellent, honestly some of the best I've had, and the molten lava cake was absolutely to die for. The flounder special was also loved by everyone at our table who ordered it. That said, there were a few misses. My mom had called a week ahead to let them know her husband was vegan, and the person she spoke with was very kind and said they would speak with the chef and be prepared. When we arrived, the waitress acknowledged they knew we had a vegan guest, but the option offered was simply spaghetti with vegetables. When it came out, it was just plain pasta without vegetables. They apologized and corrected it, but after the advance call, we expected something a bit more thoughtful. The restaurant was also very loud and crowded, and with our larger table, people on opposite ends had to practically yell to hear each other. The staff seemed stretched thin, so service was not as attentive as it could have been, though we did appreciate that we never felt rushed. Food-wise, the bruschetta and desserts were excellent, the meatballs were just okay, and while my mom loved the rack of lamb, I found mine a bit overdone and overpowered by the sauce. We were also disappointed they were out of branzino, since several people in our party had planned to order it. Overall, La Perla has a lot of charm, very good food, and a warm, authentic feel. I'd happily go back, but probably with a smaller party and maybe on a less busy night.

Our group of 10 or so started outside but it was hot and there wasn't any breeze, so we relocated inside. Our server, Fadi, followed us and provided excellent service. He was personable and really set the tone for friendly and professional service. My husband enjoyed their pinot noir and I loved the Don Julio 1942. We each had salmon - it was juicy and well seasoned. I had the spinach as the side and both were good just know that the spinach is generously dressed with oil. We split carrot cake with our friends - we ordered a slice for each end of the table and people who didn't want to have any were having fork fights with others! The cake is served with ice cream and whipped cream. Definitely have a bit with the ice cream. Their espresso is fresh and strong. We both wanted to lick the inside of the cups but restrained ourselves! Just know that the ambiance, service and food quality ain't cheap. You can self-park, so that'll save ya money, but seriously, every once in a while you want to have your high expectations met and Miraggio can easily do it.

Everything was prepared with love and passion and truly delicious!
