    The best Parmesan chicken and Alfredo I've had in a while.
    Erica C.

    Since the closing of my childhood Romas back home I figured I'd venture here. I'm so happy I did. This is our second time eating here and it did not disappoint. The Parmesan chicken and fettuccine was absolute delicious. The bread not so much but it was fresh and homemade. We will definitely be back.

    Caprese - no roasted peppers (as requested)
    Meredith S.

    This was our second time eating here - the first was like 3 years ago for a private event (which was held in a separate room, which was nice). Last night (Valentine's Day) we showed up without a reservation- we're in town for a funeral and weren't really thinking about the "holiday," but no worries. We only waited about 15 minutes for a table, and it's nice to wait at the bar. Unfortunately, our server, while super sweet and friendly, was in the weeds for our entire visit (despite having only 3 - 4 tables). We brought our drinks from the bar, but I had to ask for water 3 times. I think she may be pretty new. We started with Caprese, because if it's on the menu, I'm getting it (despite the season)! I requested no roasted red peppers (I am a purist - not sure why some places do it with the peppers). The good - the tomatoes were nice, ripe and juicy, definitely a big plus for this time of year. The mozzarella wasn't dry (that makes me crazy) and there was a nice amount of the balsamic glaze. Here's the issue - no seasoning. I had to ask for salt & pepper (twice). A little cracked black pepper and a touch of Malden or sea salt would have made a huge difference. It want bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't quite great. There was some confusion ordering the entree - there was a special that included the build your own pasta (which I do often in other places). I asked if they could do Angel hair with garlic & olive oil and the server said no. I told her I would pay regular price, no worries. That was a good clue that she was probably new. Hubby had the manicotti, which was good. Nice size (not huge - just right) with a good amount of baked cheese on top. I got my Angel hair, but it was a bit bland. A little more garlic would have gotten it closer, and there was the salt I had asked for earlier. The rolls were tasty - soft and warm. Unfortunately we had to ask for them when our meals came out. A refill would have been appreciated, but not offered. All in all, not a bad experience but not one for the scrapbook either. We will return, though, to see how they do on a normal night.

    This is by far my favorite local business to get fresh pasta from. Oro is an Italian pop up…read morerestaurant and a farmers market booth. I haven't yet had the chance to attend one of their pop ups, but I'm an avid fan of their pastas and cannot wait to one day! Birdhouse Market on Tuesdays is my go-to for their pasta. You can also find them at the St. Stephen's farmers market. My favorite pasta they make is their sourdough tonnarelli. The creste de gallo is a must try. Other delicious and unique flavors I've enjoyed are the basil gnochetti and the porcini bucatini. I once got their white bolognese sauce and paired it with one of their pastas, it was divine. They have cute postcards with pasta sauce recipes, but you can also buy their incredible pasta sauces and pair it with the pasta you buy (which I highly recommend). If you need any help, the owner who runs the stand is incredibly sweet and can guide you in the right direction. Oro is incredible, if I could give them 100 stars I would.

    I typically try to catch them at the Birdhouse Farmer's Market when they're set up. Their fresh…read morepasta is wonderful! Especially coming from someone who has used a lot of boxed pasta over the years, I absolutely love getting to enjoy it fresh. Since I live alone, I'm typically able to break it into several nights of food for dinner, which works out great. After a long day, it's so easy to make (what I've tried so far was recc 1-2 minutes of cook time) Staff is always happy to answer questions about the pasta also! Pictured is the basil one, you've gotta love basil for this one, but it was very enjoyable, also loved the noodle shape, which I'm blanking on the exact name at the moment.

From the host to the server, we really enjoyed everyone! The restaurant itself was cute! It was small and quant but we are used to that living in the city in DC and some of the best restaurants are like that! Now the drinks and food!! For the drinks we had the rosemary martini and espresso martini. The rosemary was one of my favs!! So light and delicious! The espresso was lacking and I'm an espresso martini snob! It was just so watery and was lacking flavor from the espresso! We ordered two kids pizza and a few apps. The fried green tomato's, spinach/crab dip and fried oysters which was a special! The pizza was delicious but the menu doesn't state that they sprinkle Parmesan on top. Both my kids have an allergy so they had to remake it. Once they remade it with no parm it was DELICIOUS! Def get their pizza! The biggest issue was the fried foods. The crab/spinach dip is a must try! It was good!!! But the fried green tomatoes and oysters were not good bc we can tell they haven't changed their grease in ages. They came out super dark and tasted burnt due to the grease it was cooked in. I worked in a restaurant for ages and can tell! If they had fresh grease it would have made a ton of difference! I'd love to come back and try it again but only if they have improved how they cook their fried food! If you're just looking for pizza and cocktails, this is a good recommendation!
