When I went to pick them up, I had to wait 45 minutes. Nobody, including the manager, had any idea when my order would be ready. They didn't even apologize for the wait. They weren't short-staffed. They just make no attempt to think about their capacity when promising when orders will be ready. Facing a house full of disappointed kids when I got home was not fun. That's the last time I'll go there.

The strip mall itself isn't anything special, but the surrounding area is beautiful , and once you're inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

Looking for a light lunch today as the temperatures hovered in the mid 90's, we decided to give…read moreOsteria Procaccini a try. Upon entering the nicely cooled place, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated by a window adjacent to the wood fire oven. This was our first visit. The room is very lively. Thankful we were seated in the corner which helped with the acoustics. With the dining room mostly full at lunchtime, it was difficult to hear my bride on the other side of the table. We were in no hurry so overtime, the place thinned out a bit and the volume subsided. Could be a real issue on a busy night. Might try the bar room side next time. (Some decorative acoustic ceiling tiles would greatly reduce the noise.) There were menu additions as well as a limited but decent selection of value wines. We decided on the Shrimp Mango Avocado Tower and a Shrimp Caesar salad and a bottle of Villa Antinori. The Shrimp Mango Avocado salad is one of the best salads we have ever had. Really. Blueberry, strawberry, arugula, candied pecans, feta cheese topped with a limoncello dressing and aged balsamic with a few grilled shrimp. Was hoping for more shrimp, but the salad is very filling. The interplay of the various flavors was very tasty and the wine was a good paring. The Shrimp Caesar salad was also very good. I loved the anchovie and dijon forward flavors with just the right amount of garlic. The homemade croutons with just the right flavor and crunch. The pace was perfect. Server (manager?) was attentive but not overbearing. We had a nice relaxing and delicious light lunch. Exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back to try the pizza and some desserts.

I've heard good things but they did not hit it out of the park for me. I have dietary preferences that I found very hard to make work here. I had looked at the menu beforehand and identified two options that would work for me. The crispy wings and the burger. It turns out I could try neither of those options as they were out of both. It's a Wednesday dinner service and the restaurant was empty so imagine my severe disappointment. I ended up getting a Caesar salad which was fine but let's be honest a Caesar salad is lettuce, cheese, dressing and croutons. There was nothing to write home about with this one. The other three members of the group got pizzas. Here comes the next disappointment - it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. There were only two other tables with people so I cannot understand why it took so long. All this to say I waited almost an hour for my sad plate of lettuce, which was not my first or second choice. I was annoyed and still left hungry. The rest of the group seemed to enjoy their pizzas, but I will not be returning.

I really loved the shrimp on fire appetizer. The sauce was so creamy and flavorful and the waitress even gave us more bread to eat with the leftover sauce. For my entree I got the scungilli which was so delicious- the sauce was spicy and garlic-forward, and the scungilli had a salty/briny flavor that ultimately made for a very balanced, yet bold, dish. For dessert we tried their tiramisu and the pumpkin cheesecake. Both were great, but I'm a huge tiramisu fan and they really did a great job with it. Highly recommend this spot!

I've always come to this strip mall to dine at Nomad. However, due to recommendations from my…read morefriends, we decided to give Pastiamo a shot. Normally we stay away from pasta restaurants unless there's something unique to it. However, Pastiamo hit a home run immediately. From Chef Francesca being ever present in the restaurant - from serving to seating - to the homemade focaccia you receive as a starter, it was an impeccable dining experience. Then you add the nice plates and simple, yet warm decor. You just can't go wrong. We split the forza Italia as an appetizer to get more of a focaccia kick. We loved the homemade bread. The three cheeses were a nice and complimentary touch. Also, dousing this with some freshly squeezed orange juice didn't hurt. For the main course, we split a pesto gnocchi and a tagliatelle alla Norma. The pasta was truly homemade. Felt super fresh. The sauces were great and not too oily or salty. It was so good that we decided to bring some home to my parents. We will be back again!

TLDR: delicious foods with quality ingredients…read more Pastiamo is a cute little sit down restaurant with bright decor and a modern, casual feel. I tried the burrata dip and lasagna, which were both beyond my expectations. The burrata dip was milky and rich with sweet / umami bursts of tomato. Paired with thin focaccia and savory crisps, the appetizer made for amazing bites that I still think about. The lasagna was rich and flavorful. Layers of rich meat sauce, cheese, and bechemal were savory, nutty, hearty - a satisfying bite on the colder days. The casual appearance had me fooled me a bit on the price, especially the burrata dip. I definitely had some sticker shop. The dip was $18 and the lasagna was around $24. Both these prices are reasonable for the area but were more expensive than I would pay for a casual lunch. It's also a bit too casual for me to consider for a nicer dinner, so Pastiamo falls in a gray zone for me on the pricing. I loved the food here and would come back more often if there were lunch deals or cheaper options I loved the food and would come back more ofte

We had to wait for waitstaff for instructions. It was particularly busy that morning so we sat there for a good 10 minutes before a waitress came over and told us we can just walk over to the buffet area. Had it been more clear upon entering, we wouldn't have had to sit there and waste time. Breakfast with the toddler is extra stressful already. There wasn't too much variety for the buffet. There were some meats, salmon, breads, oatmeal and fruits. The juice bar looked good, there was a good variety of juices. We also ordered a pizza from the kids menu for the toddler. The pizza was very good. Will order again! The koi pond by the waiting area is nice, sometimes you get to watch them feed the koi. The pond is the best part of the hotel!

I came alone on a rainy Saturday afternoon and was seated in the corner of an empty part of the restaurant where I was completely ignored even after flagging down servers. I was considering walking out but I was starving. 15 minutes later I got an order of the pasta with crab. While I waited I was served marinated raw carrot ribbons and fresh bread and that was absolutely delicious. It didn't take long for the pasta to come and that was also very good although it would've been nice if the crab was somewhat chunked and not all shredded.. I'm glad the trip was not a complete waste however the service was horrible and for that reason alone I will not return.
