    Scallops Risotto
    Alison M.

    Fabulous dinner last night! Service friendly and attentive food was delish and hot. Had the octopus dish and beets salad to start, husband had the scallops and risotto. Scallops were sweet and perfectly cooked. I had the crab fra Diablo, crab sweet and pasta cooked well. Dessert had tiramisu and a hazelnut gelato! We will be back!

    Been here now a few times. Very consistent, which is exactly what I look for in a restaurant before I write a review. Ambiance is great in here. My waitress Livia was absolutely wonderful , on top of it. Place gets 5 stars, looking forward on making this my place for Italian food when I'm down here.

    Don't go here! I want to keep it to myself. Tonight was my first time here and I am so glad I made the trip. The restaurant is located in a newer building complex which has apartments above but a nice amount of parking to choose from. The layout is simple but quaint and comfortable. I had made a reservation on OpenTable and our table was ready when we arrived. The table was clean and nicely set. There certainly was an attention to detail. Wine glasses were already on the table which I appreciate in a BYOB as I make my own wine and always have my cork screw ready to get things rolling. Our server, Katie brought bread to the table and welcomed us to the restaurant. She even recognized the homemade wine (no label). We started with the meatball appetizer which had fresh ricotta and a delicious tomato sauce on it. The meatballs had great flavor and the sauce was really delicious. I ordered the ribeye special and the others ordered the lobster gnocchi and the grilled salmon. The plates came out sooner than I expected and were very nicely arranged. The lobster gnocchi was incredibly tender and light. There could have been a bit more lobster but who wouldn't want more lobster! The salmon was quite a large piece along with polenta and a citrus salsa. The salmon didn't have a chance and that plate was cleaned! I had the ribeye cooked to medium. It's rare that I can order medium and it not be rare. This was perfect. The Gorgonzola cream sauce over crab meat and mushrooms was fabulous. The mashed potatoes were creamy with the occasional lump to add texture. Asparagus was grilled with just the right amount of char. It was really well done. It was a great first experience and I can't wait to return and try other items from the menu. We had a great experience with Katie and appreciated her friendly service. We will be back with lots of friends.

    Who knew we had such an amazing restaurant just 5 minutes from us! We read all of the 5 star reviews and couldn't wait to give it a try. It didn't disappoint! The service and ambiance was warm and welcoming and the food was incredible! We started with Grilled Octopus and shared a pasta dish as a second. Both were excellent. The salmon and the scallops with risotto were also top notch. As full as we were, we couldn't resist dessert which was also excellent! Can't wait to come back to try more!

    My boyfriends family decided to have a family dinner here on a Sunday evening. It was the first time we were here. They had our table for ten all set up when our party arrived. The owner, who took care of us, was great! Making jokes, answering our menu questions, and always friendly/nice. My boyfriend and I split the Caesar salad. I enjoyed the penne vodka with shrimp and Mark had the chicken dish. We both were very pleased with all of the food we had. It's also byob which is always great! I hope his family plans another dinner soon!

    I came here because of the great reviews on Yelp as well as Google. Complimentary Italian bread is ok. It's served with butter. I wish they provided olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. Fried calamari was great. Perfectly cooked and has crunchy breading. Highly recommended. Entree: branzino with lemon caper wine sauce. Good ambil of fresh fish, perfectly cooked, flavor was on point. It was served with a wedge of roasted potato . A slice of carrot and very thin asparagus. My husband had scallops with risotto. I tried the risotto and it was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommended. Dessert: our waitress read us the list of dessert: Nutella cheesecake, limoncello cake, chocolate cake, carrot cake, and a couple more that I couldn't remember. I picked limoncello and my other guest picked Nutella cheese. I tried a bite of the Nutella cheesecake and it was super delicious. I love Nutella and it tasted like I was eating Nutella from the jar. What puzzled me was the cheesecake was served in a plastic container. My guest didn't ask for it to go. On the other hand, my limoncello cake was a disappointment. It was a big slice and the cake was super dry. I barely tasted the lemon. When we were ready to leave the waitress and I had a conversation on how good the Nutella cheesecake was and I mentioned that I wished that they served tiramisu because it is my favorite dessert. She said they had it and it was made yesterday. She forgot to mention it and ask if I wanted to order. By that time I was already full and was ready to leave. I was very disappointed. Maybe it's better for the restaurant to print out the dessert menu.

    Another double date with our foodie friend's pick…read more And wow what a pick! A beautifully decorated (both outside and inside) quaint restaurant, with a visible pizza oven. We shared a literally beautiful antipasto for an appetizer. It boasted fresh mozzarella balls, eggplant, artichokes, sweet red peppers, prosciutto, and olives. We had a good and soft loaf of bread with a yummy olive oil and balsamic dip too. Our meals were ALL tremendous! We had pasta dishes - gnocchi marsala and fettuccine with clams - EXCELLENT! I had plenty of sauce left to dip the soft bread into :) The other couple had octopus (appetizer) and seafood atop squid ink pappardelle pasta. They loved their dishes as well. Of course we didn't have room for dessert, but our chocolate wine and other wines were definitely sufficient. BYOB's are great and money saving. This place is a bit of a haul but I hope to get back in the future !

    We had heard about La Voglia and decided to try it out! We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't…read moretoo crowded. The restaurant has a warm feel to it and is decorated nicely. They serve a delicious homemade bread that's warm when it's brought the table. In addition, it's accompanied by a dish of olive oil, with balsamic vinegar and what I believed to be a spicy dusting of pepper. It was a little too spicy for me - however, I did like the addition of the balsamic as a change from just olive oil. I would skip the pepper though, unless you like spice. We ordered the Polpette as an appetizer; it's a 'tradition' of mine. If meatballs are on the menu, I will always order them. These lamb, veal and beef meatballs were very good, and the marinara sauce they came in was excellent! The sauce is actually a 'roasted pomodoro' gravy - which is an 'intensified' version of a classic Italian sauce. It's made by roasting the tomatoes at a very high heat and almost caramelizing them. A little feta was added to the sauce, which really highlighted those meatballs!! We split the order - as 5 meatballs is quite a large appetizer! We decided to share two entrees - the Beef Short Ribs and the Lobster Ravioli. I always ask if the short ribs are lean - our server responded they were very lean...and they were. Soft, tender and very flavorful large chunks of beef, with a deliciously rich gravy with mushrooms on a bed a creamy garlic mashed potatoes! It was a superb dish! The website said the Short Ribs were the restaurant's most popular meal. Next, the Lobster Ravioli. The dish was a very 'delicate' one, with a very subtle brandy cream sauce. It had chopped jumbo shrimp and peeled cherry tomatoes with the raviolis. While the sauce tasted fine, it needed 'something' - we added pepper which helped. The raviolis were good - we couldn't taste lobster in the cheese of the raviolis - we assumed it was there. The chopped shrimps though provided a nice additional seafood flavor. I like my raviolis tender - the kind that almost melt in your mouth. The pasta here was firmer - a little more 'al dente', but it was fine. We ended our meal with the Chocolate Mousse. Served in a martini glass, the mousse had a velvety texture with a deep dark chocolate flavor. It was very rich yet light and fluffy; a good choice for dessert!

The food is consistently outstanding, the portions are incredibly generous, and everything tastes truly homemade and made with care. A huge shoutout to Sergio, the owner and chef, for always creating such an amazing experience. You can tell he takes real pride in every plate that comes out, and his table-side conversations and funny stories make the atmosphere even better. Mirna, Sergio's wife and also an incredible chef, deserves major recognition as well the passion and quality they bring to this restaurant shows in every detail. The service is always top-tier. Savannah is absolutely amazing she always takes such great care of us and makes every visit smooth, welcoming, and enjoyable. Don is also wonderful and professional, and the whole team makes you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive. We've come here for everything birthdays, date nights, and even after-work dinners and it never disappoints. And the homemade ice cream is the perfect finish every time. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, a warm family run atmosphere, and a place that delivers consistency and quality every visit, Pasta Fazool is a must. Highly recommend!

Disguised as a glorified pizza shop, nestled in a strip of stores on the corner of Mill & York in Hatboro - Pasta Fazool is anything but We were lucky to get a seat when we popped in on a Friday evening The hostess recommended reservations but was able to seat us since we were there earlier than the dinner crowd. Lots to choose from on the menu and the staff is friendly. The store front bistro has only a handful of tables and a kitchen full of flavor. From the meatball appetizer- though to the cream brûlée desert our meal was both enjoyable and satisfying. I highly recommend giving them a try, but just to be on the safe side give a call ahead to make a reservation.
