The place was on our list for a very long time and at last we could go there for the first time. The interior design is old and looks like 80s but still cozy. Customer service was great and I paid attention to the servers. They were not only great for us but also they were making sure all customers are satisfied with the quality. The value of the food was fantastic and the price was great compared to other restaurants. The food was delicious and we enjoyed our experience a lot. Highly recommended! :) read more

I've been to Silician Pasta Kitchen a few times. They have a good atmosphere and attentive servers. The complimentary bread was decent with olive oil. I tried their Tortellini. The food was quite good (presentation, flavour). However, the portion was a little less than expected for the price, so I'd give them 7.8/10 read more

The pasta is aways good here, tastes fresh. There hasn't been anything I have not liked here and their portions are really big, I usually need to wrap it up and take it home. My favourite appetizers are the mussels or the calamari. For entrees I prefer a white or cream sauce. If you go to the south Edmonton location, the decor is more old school Italian style. If you're looking for a more upscale style then downtown Edmonton is more suited for that. The restaurant gets quite busy on the weekends and evenings, it's best to make a reservation if you're planning to go during peak hours. read more

Food was very good, went at lunch time and it was very dead. Service took a while. Got sat at our table and took 10 minutes for our waitress to come. Then gave us menus and took 10 minutes for our pop to come and take our orders when there were only 3 tables in there. So if you are on lunch break may not have time to come in as it took 20 minutes just to order. But food was great read more

Been to this establishment couple of times prior to ownership change, and what a difference, here is what I think. Pros; Can't think of anything Cons; * Owner and manager standing by the bar as couple of bouncer is no classy nor inviting way in saying welcome, and for the love of God, smile. * Service * Food * Ambiance * Everything 1 - Do I recommend, absolutely not, if they want to charge $30 for a plate penne, they should first learn how to make. 2 - If they want to serve martini and charge $16 for it, they should learn how to make it. 3 - A thank you, or, may I get you anything else is a gesture usually appreciated. 4 - Asking a guest for their food order less than a minute after arriving is beyond me, and not once did she come back to check if we needed anything or to ask if everything was fine I can go on and on, but, I will stop here. No I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Located in a small strip mall in South Edmonton. This restaurant has the history of being an Edmonton local business. The restaurant inside has an Italian theme decor. The service was prompt and polite. We ordered the Mediterranean salad to start. The salad was fresh and delicious. They brought complimentary bread. We had balsamic vinegar and olive oil added. I ordered the fusilli con spinaci the dish was bland. It lacked really seasoning and it felt I could have made it at home. Overall, decent place, decent service, mediocre food and great service. read more

So disappointed. The evening started with a bad bottle of wine. It was clearly corked. Bad smell, dry brittle cork, very faint marking. The server asked the owner to come to our table to hear our concerns regarding the wine. He was very adamant that it was not the wine but us that were off. He did not taste it as he said he doesn't drink wine. When asked to smell it, he said it smelled like any wine. Finally, we asked if someone who knew wine could try it. He disappeared and returned without apology and offered another option as we "didn't like" our first choice. We shared a salad which was tasty. Our meals weren't great. My pasta was cold, the frozen salmon was covered in a tasty sauce but the salmon itself was disappointing. I didn't dare ask for my pasta to be heated after the reaction to the wine. My husband's pizza was undercooked and soggy. Won't be back read more

Soups wonderful. Seafood pasta great. Service can be slow and even off-hand. Otherwise a reliable restaurant. read more

Like most cities, Edmonton has no shortage when it comes to Italian restaurants serving pasta. We have a wide range of options from high-end establishments to chains like Olive Garden or The Old Spaghetti Factory. There are also plenty of places in between. One such restaurant is Sicilian Pasta Kitchen, voted Best Italian Restaurant 2021 in the Edmonton Journal. They've got two locations which I believe both opened in 1995, however I don't think that the restaurants are affiliated with each other anymore. Their menus are different and they each seem to offer a bit of a different experience. (Do either of them actually focus on the cuisine of Sicily, one of the southernmost parts of Italy? I highly doubt it.) I decided to visit the south Skyrattler location of SPK because (for some reason) that one feels like the original to me. You'll find them tucked in a shopping plaza with their impressive green, white and red awnings celebrating their Italian patriotism. It's a huge brick building and surprising no one you'll find a large dining area on the inside. The expansive space is clean and modern with big, bright windows and a high ceiling. It's not too flashy but feels comfortable. There are some tasteful pieces of art around the room and I liked that the kitchen has a bit of an open concept to it. There's lots of seating, however on the Saturday night of my visit the place was busy!! I (foolishly) did not make a reservation and there was a momentary concern that we wouldn't be able to grab a table. Thankfully (whom I believe might have been) the owner moved some things around and found us a place to sit. It was very kind of him and greatly appreciated! Once settled in, our attentive server got some drinks going for us and I happily selected the Tuscan Kiss (New Amsterdam vodka, prosecco and strawberry puree - $11.00), one of their signature cocktails. I liked this drink a lot because it was light, bubbly, and fruity. Crisp and easy to drink, I especially loved the sweetness that the strawberry added to the beverage. This would be a great brunch drink, actually. Our server asked if we wanted some bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and of course we said yes! Who says "no" to free bread?! This bread was also unlimited because once ours was finished we were asked if we wanted more. I remarked that it had been a long time since I've seen bread served with oil and vinegar in a restaurant and frankly, I've missed it! Two different kinds of bread were offered; one a focaccia style and the other more like a baguette. Both were soft and fresh. I loved ripping pieces off and soaking them in the oil and vinegar mixture. This is definitely a simple pleasure. Next I considered ordering a starter of some type and settled on one of my favourite salads of all-time. I am always quite pleased with an Insalata Caprese (Alternating layers of yellow and red tomatoes, fior di latte and fresh basil, topped with extra virgin olive oil and a black olive tapanade - $14.50). Right away I could see that there was no "alternating yellow and red tomatoes," as they were only red. This caprese was under-seasoned. It desperately needed a sprinkling of some nice coarse sea salt and possibly a drizzle of balsamic. The tomato was nothing special, although at least it was fresh. It seemed like a boring grocery store beefsteak when it absolutely should have been a good quality roma. Or maybe a beautiful heirloom. The slices of fior di latte were small, almost like they cut up a tub of those "cocktail style" bocconcini that you see at the store. Overall, I found this salad to be lacking in flavour, quality and value. The menu is very large at Sicilian Pasta Kitchen, boasting an extensive list of pastas, pizzas, sandwiches, and various main course dishes. After combing though the options (and feeling pretty dazzled by the ravioli di funghi con tartufo which uses a white wine truffle butter sauce) I landed on what I deemed to be the best pasta dish on the menu. The Ravioli d'Astice con Langoustines (Large lobster stuffed ravioli tossed with langoustines ("baby lobster"), in a roasted red pepper cream sauce with fresh basil - $28.00) which is also the most expensive pasta dish that they serve. The plate looked gorgeously appetizing when it arrived and it ticked a huge box by offering me a wonderful-sounding lobster experience. Certainly the highlight of the meal for me, I enjoyed the plump, lobster-filled ravioli. Unfortunately, these did not taste like they were housemade but they were enjoyable nonetheless. I loved the creamy roasted red pepper sauce which was a perfect match for the dish. I was also pleased with the meaty pieces of langoustine within the sauce because they were quite plentiful. If you've seen a langoustine before, they truly do look like very small lobsters. I appreciated that they were used abundantly and I liked their unique texture and flavour. A very filling portion, this dish was easily the highlight for me. For dess read more

As the Covid-19 pandemic is still going on, we decided to order through Skip the Dishes for tonight's dinner. Since we wanted to support a local business during this time, we ended up choosing this restaurant AND this location. (The one downtown does have a different menu.) Our 4 pastas took about 45 minutes to arrive after placing our order, which was on time. We were aiming for 6 p.m. and was getting hungry! I excitedly opened the bag to find a box on top feeling very light. Wow! What I found was two kinds of bread that would only be enough for two people but not only that, the three slices were very thin and the other three bite-sized pieces were hard and dry. These pieces looked like maybe it was an old bread stick cut into three. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! So out of four hungry people, who gets a slice and who doesn't?!! I know we didn't pay for the bread but it must usually come with the entree so why bother then? If we were dining in, is that all this restaurant would give us? I'm giving this review two stars as the pastas were hot, good portion and tasted good, not too salty as some restaurant food usually is. Everyone felt there was enough meat, seafood and vegetables in their pasta. Based on this experience, I would hesitate to support them again since there are many other local businesses out there. read more

My craving for pasta led me to order from Sicilian Pasta Kitchen twice while keeping in mind to support local business during pandemic. You can order either from Skip the dishes or can choose Curbside pickup. You will get 10% off, if you prefer the curbside pickup. First time we ordered FETTUCCIA cooked with chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and Asiago cheese in a smoked paprika cream Sauce. Pasta is served with Garlic bread on side. Believe me, this pasta is definitely a delightful meal to have from their menu. Second time, we ordered both Fettuccia (my favourite) and another chicken pasta FETTUCCINE ALLA CONTADINA tossed with in house smoked chicken, fresh baby spinach and mushrooms in a rich parmesan cream sauce and unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. It was completely bland and there was no smoky flavour in the chicken at all. Packaging was good and the food was handed off perfectly both the times. I would sum up my experience as 3.5/5 based on both the orders. read more

I haven't been here in so long. I needed to return to remember justt how wonderful this place is. Now I can't fault them on the parking here, but my goodness it's hard to find a place to park...but we managed to find a street spot. The Place was so busy but we were greeted right away and lucky to get a seat so quickly. Our server was kind and on the ball. She told us the features for the menu and took our drinks. We both had the exact same thing the chicken Alfredo. I forgot just how amazing it is. We also had ceaser salads to start. Our bill was $34.00 each. Our food was so good. Hot and fresh and timely. I love the ambiance. It's perfect for a date and an intimate setting. The manager was very kind as well. I really love this place and glad we came back. Truly a gem in Edmonton. Our food was so good. They have a great wine list too. We just didn't have drinks tonight. read more

It has been years since my husband and I have eaten here so we decided to stop in for our date tonight. I ordered the Ravioli D'astice con Langoustines which was so very very delicious. The sauce was so flavourful, as were the little bits of lagoustines mixed in. The Ravioli itself was also super tasty, with lots of delicious lobster filling. My husband ordered the Capellini Aglio con Gamberi which was also very delicious. I think the shrimp needed a touch more of the seasoning on it but the dish as a whole was very good. Portions are quite generous so we were both quite satisfied by the end of the meal. I also ordered the red velvet cake for dessert and it was ok but I've had better. I found the cake to be a bit dry, and too sweet. Needs a bit more of the cream cheese for the tartness I think. Service was great, we arrived quite early so didn't have to wait to be seated and we were served quickly, drinks refilled quickly, and our food came out fast and was nice and hot. Overall we had a great dinner and would love to be back again, hopefully sooner than since our last visit! read more

Sicilian Pasta Kitchen South and Vinny's Bar has combined spaces and Vinny's now acts as a "lounge" area to the adjacent dining room. Friday night, no reservation and instead of waiting for a space in the dining room we agreed to be in the lounge area. Space has been renovated but not with the same consistency as the dining room. Vinny's is more of a pub/bar feel with TV's and big round booths with less of a evening light but more of a bar light. Menu's were given to us as we came from the dining room but once seated our server asked if we wanted to see the bar menu for more food options. (?) (said no) Glancing over the menu, with how large the menu seems to be, there isn't much variation when it comes to pasta. Bouncing from either cream sauce or tomato sauce. Farfalle Con Gamberi E Capesante - ($21) - - Described to be a seafood pasta dish, cajun seasoning dusted on shrimp and scallops sauteed with julienne peppers, mushroom and onions in a garlic cream sauce tossed with bow tie noodles. What arrived was 3 pieces of shrimp, baby scallops hidden under a river of cream sauce on the bottom of bow tie noodles. Heavy is what comes to mind. Average taste, something I'd expect at Boston Pizza, except I would have opted for the spaghetti and meatballs at BP's instead. Pollo Toscano - ($28) - - Two chicken breasts pan seared with shrimp, cherry tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms with a lemon white wine butter sauce. Side of Linguine with tomato sauce. Bae was okay with this one, tasted good - portion size seems to be consistent with all dishes though - huge. *Could have made this at home *nothing special read more

This is one of my favourite Italian restaurants of all time due to their delectable sauce in their mussels. Their Caesar salad makes my homemade salad taste like dirt in comparison. They use the finest ingredients for their perfect garlicky salad dressing and crumbled bread crumbs. Their ravioli makes you want bite after bite. My only wish is if their ravioli pasta had larger portions. My husband ordered a sandwich not pictured here. Perfect place to order from for a lazy delicious meal at home. They also give you bread included with your order and melt in your mouth whipped butter. I'll definitely be ordering again and again!! read more

Went in for the pasta feast Sunday with a friend. Thrt serve 5 kinds of pasta for ~$12.95 per person. Min 2 people required to order. The pasta comes in one plate and they give you small plates to share. They tasted okay and the quantity is probably okay too. We, being males in our 20s, could have easily eaten a plate each. It is prob worth if they made it a pasta buffet. I may visit again but likely try something different off the menu. My hot chocolate was okay. We didnt get the complimrntary bread and oil with our order. Seems like our server forgot...:( Overall, experience : 4/5. Food and beverages 3.5/5. read more

Had dinner there on a crazy Friday evening. We had no reservation but they got us into their last table. It was packed! I was concerned how that might impact the service, but there was nothing to worry about. They were well prepared. Service was excellent--charming, efficient, and organized. Their signature cocktail, The Sicilian, was fantastic. The bread they brought was delicious and generous. For an appie we shared the arancini. It came four to a plate surrounded by a chunky, intensely tomato-flavoured sauce. So good!! For an entree I went with the lobster ravioli. It was amazing and perfectly done. I couldn't finish it and had to take the rest home. Not that I minded!! For wine we went with a half litre of the Prophecy Pinot noir. It was excellent and not too heavy. We were too full for coffee and dessert, but will save room next time. Highly recommend!! read more

Yassss SPK! I was here once before years ago, and decided to come again to celebrate a special milestone. The ambiance is nice. I just would say it isn't overly formal (there is paper on the table) but there are also candles and a romantic feel to the place. Our server was on it. Really good at his job- super friendly and efficient. We both ordered a pasta dish- I had the tagliatelle bolognese and it was phenomenal. My date had the penne and it was also delicious! (But I liked mine more). I also had a glass of the house merlot and I wish I had asked what it was because I loved it. The prices are a little high, but not unreasonable. I will definitely be back to try the gnocchi! read more

Don't eat the veal here. It's not VEAL. They are trying to pass off cow for veal. They changed suppliers (what they told me) and it hasn't been good for a month. I was really good for a few months back and now, NOT! paid 31.00 for veal . should of gotten steak. read more

We got the pasta feast on Sunday. $11.99 equals 5 pastas . I don't think you can get a better deal. It was exactly what I wanted. We also got free bread with this (you can get olive oil for dipping for 50 cents) My favorite of the 5 pastas was the Penne Genovesse with the capicola ham. Delicious. There are options to bake with cheese. $3 more x 2 . Not necessarily worth it. You have to get the pasta feast with two people because they bring it out in a big bowl . So...be ok with sharing . A solid place to go for food. We read the reviews about the service, and I was really surprised, my server was great. We arrived at 7.19 pm. Seated by 7.21pm Server came by 7.25 pm. Food order placed and arrived by 7.45pm This was on a sunny day when Olive garden had a 40 minute wait. So, if you're on the South Side, I'd head here for a dish. read more

A couple of weeks ago, Edmonton held its annual Fork Fest event, where participating restaurants prepare a set menu or select dishes of your choice for a price of $25 or $45. Over the two weeks (Sundays - Thursdays), I disappointingly managed to squeeze in one Fork Fest dinner, what with the cold weather, evening shifts, and changes of heart to prevent me from eating at multiple locations. On the last day of the event, Joe and I went to Sicilian Pasta Kitchen on the south side, as the downtown location wasn't a part of the Fork Fest event. For some reason, I don't recall ever going to either locations, yet there seems to be a lot of people who say it's one of the best Italian restaurants in town. The dinner for the week was a three course menu, set at $25. You could just one dish from each category: appetizer, entrée, and dessert from a set menu separate from their usual fare. In addition, bread and butter started us off, with the option of olive oil and balsamic, which I happily opted for. The bread was warm, soft and not toasted, and the olive oil and balsamic seemed standard to me. Nothing new here. I chose the bruschetta con bocconcini as my appetizer, the same French bread as before, brushed with EVOO and garlic. It's suppose to be topped off with fresh diced tomatoes, oregano, crushed chili peppers, and finished with slices of Bocconcini cheese and red onion then toasted. What I received (late, I might add; the order wasn't put through properly) lacked in any sign of cheese, and a warm mush of a salsa on top of the toasted bread. The first couple of bites weren't so bad, but by the second slice, the tomatoes had rendered the bread soggy. Joe ordered the salsiccia con arrostito pepperone - sliced Italian sausage sautéed with roasted peppers and caramelized onions in a tomato sauce with roasted potato wedges. The Italian sausage was spicy, and the tomato sauce was well seasoned and well made. I didn't mind the potatoes although Joe didn't touch them. What was notable about both our dishes was the portion. Ridiculous portion sizes for an appetizer! I was getting full just from that. My entrée for the night was a beef cannelloni with a tomato cream sauce. I thought the sauce tried to make up the lack of flavor of the cannelloni itself, and serving it luke warm was not very pleasing . I managed to eat one of three tubes of the pasta before calling it quits. It could have been worst, at least it wasn't dry, but it could have been much better. Joe's penne al diavolo looked a lot better. Although I personally thought the pasta was quite thick, he seemed to enjoy it. And the description of a spicy cayenne cream sauce did not lie, the taste of cayenne over powered a lot of other potential flavors of the dish, including the grilled chicken and shrimp, which I didn't get a bite of in my forkful, nor could I see clearly on the dish. Trying to blow through the entrée and onto desserts in hopes of better things, I ordered the blackout torte while Joe ordered the red velvet cake. Again, nothing special and again, I did not finish the dish. I think thus far on the blog, this might have been one of the most uninspiring meals I've had. Perhaps it was the set menu, or maybe a "C team" in the kitchen on a Thursday night, but I don't understand why SPK holds such high regards with some of my friends. The only bright side I could see with the meal was the portions, and even so, I'd rather go to Chianti's on a Monday or Tuesday to get my fair share of pasta. In my opinion though, I'd rather pay the extra few dollars per dish to get an outstanding meal versus a standard bowl of pasta. I'm almost tempted to say I'd rather go to Boston Pizza on pasta Tuesdays, perhaps turn myself into more of a foodie, as their most recent commercial advertises. read more

I thought that this Sicilian Pasta Kitchen would be the same thing as the one downtown but I was wrong. This location seems like a lower class version of the one downtown (which I am a big fan of). The looks and overall mood/atmosphere are close to being the same but I would say this one is a bit more kid friendly. The menu doesn't have as much of a selection either. The food, especially the entrees, is not even close to the quality. Even though I wasn't overly impressed the pasta I ordered was really good. I can't remember what it was called but it was penne with grilled chicken, shrimp and a cayenne sauce. It was the one thing that saved this place. The service was good, quick and friendly as well. I have to admit if I didn't go in expecting this restaurant to be the same as the one downtown it may have gotten a better review. read more

Went there today for lunch and the waitress Chelsea was great up to the point that she dropped off my food. Then I never saw her again at my table. Even had trouble getting my bill and the machine to pay. At least the hostess got me a take out container.

I don't know why everyone is hatin' on this place. Microwaved pasta? That's what you'd compare pasta from Boston Pizza or Sbarro with. But anyways, I'm not a huge pasta enthusiast - I never really crave it. But my boyfriend does and whenever he mentions this place I get a pasta hankering. I usually order the Borsetti (I think that's what it's called) and it always tastes delicious and fresh. All the salads and soups I've had there are great as well. The service can be a bit slow sometimes but that's hardly worth taking a star away. read more

Anniversary dinner first time at this restaurant. There dining area was about 50% occupied. Promptly seated with menus. Our server was prompt and asked if we wanted drinks. The drinks were at the table within 5 minutes. We ordered Calamari and Bruschetta Pomodoro for starters. We waited about 25 minutes for the starters to arrive. The Calamari plate was filled with deep fried pieces of Calamari some in rings and the majority of unrecognizable pieces of what could have been Calamari. Quantity not quality with this starter. Bruschetta came with about 8 pieces of warm grilled baguette pieces and a bowl of chopped tomatoes in an oil sauce. The oil sauce mixture was so overpowering with Basil we only had 2 pieces each. Ease up on the Basil already! Our mains arrived shortly after. My wife had Linguine Misculagio with pieces of chicken, shrimp and Italian sausage in a Cajun cream sauce. Plenty of food and the pasta was cooked Al Dente and the sauce flavorful: however my wife counted 3 miniscule shrimp in the entire bowl and the sausage was equally rare! My Pollo Parmigiana plate contained 2 rather large thin pieces of chicken breast with thinner pieces of spicy ham topped with an absolutely disgustingly over powering tomato sauce. Dry creamy over cooked Penne pasta on the side. There could have been any type of meat on the plate and I would never of known what it was due to the sauce. I could not taste anything else. The pasta was something akin to Kraft Dinner. One and done with this place. I ask that the manager not try to contact me asking for me to discuss the dinner because nothing will change! read more

Decided to go here on a whim the other night. Was lots of open reservations so made one for 15 minutes later and was seated promptly. The waitress took a while to come over and was still slow serving the drinks but she was super friendly. Since they don't make their own pasta, I ordered the Quattro Fromaggio pizza and my partner the lasagna. Food came out quickly and was piping hot. I used to think there could never be too much cheese but they've proven me wrong. I received some pizza crust with tons of cheese. The pizza was COVERED; almost to the point of being soggy. It was good for the first couple pieces but then the Gorgonzola became overpowering. Not something I will be ordering again. Luckily, my partner enjoyed the lasagna a lot. Not likely to return anytime soon but maybe in a couple years. read more

Another place I'd like to give 3.5 stars. Went out with a group of friends, some of whom arrived at different times, and they were graciously received and attended to by the staff in short order, despite it being a very busy weekend evening. I'd give the wait staff a solid 5 stars, I think they were great, they got everyone's bills sorted out no problem, and made sure that everyone had water, filled drinks and anything they could need. Very competent. Thanks! The food was very average. I had the borschetti, which I had before during Fork Fest earlier in the year and had liked very much. This time I found it a bit bland but not bad, just average. My bf had the veal scallopini, and for $26 the amount of veal was pretty small. This is why I hate going out for Greek or Italian food in this city, the prices are just ridiculous. It's no Koutouki's, the prices here are average for the kind of food, but still overpriced in my opinion. Initially our group was going to go to Il Pasticcio (I've read the former head chef of The Sicilian Pasta Kitchen is there now), but they could not accommodate the group size. The prices there were a lot higher, so needless to say some folks were a little relieved. I'm not so sure - if the food at a higher end Italian place is excellent, I'm willing to pay the price maybe once or twice a year. The Sicilian Pasta Kitchen is just average in my opinion. My family and I enjoyed it a bit more the last time we had visited, in January. read more

Casual Italian dinner spot. Started with a caprese salad. Quite tasty, good portion but could use some balsamic vinegar to balance the flavour. Gnocchi with grilled chicken breast and cheese. Large portion size. Very tasty. Veal cannelloni with cream tomato sauce baked with mozzarella cheese. Very good. Extremely large portion size. Overall food was very tasty. Ambiance was good but the decor could use an update. The downtown locations provides a much better atmosphere. read more

Heeeere's a surprise. Sicillian Pasta Kitchen is a pretty decent place for Italian comfort food! My parents have been talking about this place for years though every time I'm in Edmonton, it never works out for us to go here. Just to make sure everyone reading this understands. This isn't Sicilian style food, it's North American Italian comfort food. It's also not Italian fine dining fusion either. We're talking lasagna, fettuccini alfredo, spaghetti and meatball type of place. On those cold Albertan nights when you need a hot carb-y meal to stick to your bones while your car heats up. I had the gnocchi with cream sauce and then they broiled mozzarella cheese on top. I know, super healthy, right? However, the gnocchi were soft, the sauce had just the right creaminess to it, and who doesn't like cheese broiled on top of anything? It's a casual family restaurant. Dining room is a decent size with several sections though you are fairly close to other diners so they can fit more people so it's not really an intimate experience but better than a Cheescake Factory or PF Changs. It's average in decor. It was a Thursday evening around 5:00 PM and there was ample seating when we arrived, however, the restaurant was full when we left. It's in a small strip mall that doesn't offer a ton of parking but is likely adequate if the restaurant isn't busy. They take reservations. It's a good option for the area if you are looking for a casual place with reasonably priced, larger portioned Italian food and a great place for kids too. read more

If you're craving pasta, fresh bread this is the place to go. Ordered through skip the dishes and it took 56mins. Order seafood pasta and a starter salad. So yummy! There is complimentary bread and butter all are fresh! Totally satisfied my pasta craving, the best thing is there's no need to drive there as it's all taken care of when I ordered online. Totally recommend this place if you feel Italian. read more
