Reviews of La Casa della Pasta

One of the best Italian food we had so far in Tampa . They have a very good vegetarian options. Staffs were really friendly. We had Bruschetta,whole wheat pasta pomodoro e basilico arrabbiata, Fettuccine on the parmiggiano regano wheel and Tiramisu! Bruschetta was soo fresh and tasted amazing, pasta both arrabbiate and fettucine tasted soo good, also fettucine was prepared on the parmigiano wheel in front of you which was a new experience for both of us and last but not least tiramisu was super delicious! Definitely it would be our go to Italian spot!

We loved our meal here! The wine selection was great. The anti-pasti appetizers were delicious. The meat was so fresh and the garlic bread so tasty. The table side pasta in the Parmesan cheese wheel stole the show! It was delightful to have the chef and owner share thoughts and insights on Italian food as he prepared it. We took dessert to-go because we were full, but I am sure the tiramisu will be just as good as everything else. You must try this place if you love Italian food! It is such a hidden GEM! I cannot wait to return!

I saw this on TikTok and just had to try, we could make are mind up about the awesome wine selection so our waiter offered us samples because we wanted to buy a bottle. To celebrate 5 year anniversary, the vibe felt like we were actually in Italy the lighting was on point was very romantic setting, the owner came over and she made us feel very special offered us a complimentary dessert along with some amazing cookies omg they were so good. Food was amazing I had the shrimp with blackened Alfredo pasta and sauce and the hubby had lamb it was worth every penny yummy I’ll definitely be back

TL, DR: I’m almost angry I have to eat other food.
This place is a gift. It is exquisite and precise. There’s no flavor that could be added or subtracted. Everything is so fresh it’s like they harvested the food for us and then cooked our orders.
We had eggplant rolatini, fettuccini Alfredo from the Parmesan wheel and chicken piccata, then tiramisu to finish. Mara provided excellent guidance on the wine.
The service was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Everyone I met seems to be really in love with the food and the teamwork.
I don’t think I’ve had a better meal in Tampa.plan

I was at “casa de la pasta” recently for my birthday. I love the fact that the owners are very involved at the restaurant… pasta wheel was my favorite!
Only constructive thing I have to say is that we waited for food a long time. Waitress forgot our drinks (she was probably new), food was good but not to fall of the feet.. overall nice experience. Dessert was amazing. I had the oreotermiso was delicious. Oh and the soda comes with a pasta straw! That was cool!

We arrived to the location about another before closing and welcomed to be seated at it’s a smile. We were seated at a lovely cozy table with a romantic candles and brought a very large menu. It had a lot of options which all sounded great. The writing on the menu was very small and even with my glasses, it was hard to see. We ordered Fettuccine Carbonara And Ravioli DI Formaggio Alla Vodka, both options were fantastic. The sauces were super yummy and full of flavor and we finished everything however, wake up the next day super swollen due to the amount of salt. I would say try the food and deal with the consequences lol because it was good.

Update: Seriously. This is the best Italian outside of Italy. Every single time we come, we are blown away. Our absolute favorite meal is their lasagna. #chefskiss My husband will argue that the oreomiseu (their home made oreo tiramiseu) is the best item on the entire menu. We love it! Last night we also had the cannolis which were also very good.
The owners continue to be incredibly welcoming and involved. Also, their staff seem to love them and they truly feel like a family.
Initial review:
Incredible. The service and food were both exceptional. We started with bruschetta, buratta, and prosciutto. We then got the chicken milanese and a wonderful thick spaghetti type pasta with pepper cream sauce. We then ended the meal with their oreomiseu which was divine. The owners are incredibly involved and were a delight to meet. We love Italy and this is the best Italian food we have had outside of local Italy. The ONLY disappointing part was their sangria. We will be back!
Leydis Santiago
One of the B-E-S-T Italian restaurant I have ever been in… WOW! Franco was great! The girls we’re amazing. The service is unbelievable. The pasta was a good quality, the cheese was unbelievable. I will come back!
bob paterson
Probaby an off day for them on visit.. $40 osso bucco was not "fall off the bone" .. server not attentive.. eh.. seemed only 3/4 full. Has a lot of promise and good reviews just not for me on my visit. Was hard to get the meat off the bone so decided to stop wrestling and just take it home. 🙄 small little foam clamshell and plastic baggy was not best presentation to end the experience. Again Im sure it was an off-day and perhaps some unknown distractions.
Robert Peters
As one of my father-in-law's favorite restaurants I was excited to finally give them a try. The La Casa della Pasta restaurant has been a staple in this part of Tampa for many years.
Despite its many young, attractive, servers, the restaurant itself is a little dated. The inside dining area is small, intimate, cozy even, with candlesticks in wine bottles adorning every table. The bar is unused as a seating area, leaving 3 tables nestled right up against it. The areas are clean and it is obvious the staff is well trained in the care and cleaning of the restaurant.
The menu consists of classic Italian dishes in every category, seafood, veal, chicken, antipasto's, soups and, of course, pasta. One thing you notice, regardless of the dish, is that it is from fresh ingredients, prepared freshly, and with care. Their marinara is a prime example of simplicity done right. Bright red, seasoned gently and appropriately without any unnecessary improvisations. Their wine selection is large and well thought out, offering variety for all tastes.
As for the actual flavors and preparation, it is fair, not the greatest I have ever had, but certainly not in the bottom of that list either. The freshness of ingredients and care of preparation aren't enough to elevate the dishes to a next level, but for good, homecooked Italian it's a solid place to eat.
Steve Mutimer
First time here and it was very nice. We had a nice date night dinner with dessert. Wines are interesting and varied. She had a seafood dish and I had veal. Tasty gourmet meals without the chain restaurant overkill of salt and garlic. Refreshing and fun. We'll be back soon.
jamie moschiano
My husband and I have driven by this place a few times and I always talked about how I’d like to try it. We finally had the opportunity to stop in and we have no regrets. It was a bit more fancy then we were expecting and luckily we went in on the earlier side and they allowed us in without a reservation. We did see them turn down a lot of people after us without reservations. The food was phenomenal and the restaurant was truly Authentic Italian food. Pictures don’t do justice to how good the food was. If your looking for Italian food that isn’t like a chain feel this is your place! Also, my husband didn’t know what type of wine to get so the owner gave him samples of 2 recommendations she thought would be suiting to what he was looking for/pair well with what he chose to eat and also explained the back story behind each wine. Amazing experience.

Having date night dinner with my bride at La Casa Della Pasta.
The ambiance is Romantic & my bride Gorgeous, the food incredible, fresh & delicious.The wait staff attentive & friendly... Come join us.
Carrie Damaska
So we have been looking at this restaurant since it opened . But tonight was our first time trying it. WOW!!! I have dined at all of the high end places in Tampa and this is on the top of the list , if not the best!!! Being Italian myself and knowing what REAL Italian food is like, this was amazing! The service was perfect. The chef was attentive to the floor! We will be back for sure!!! Keep up the amazing work!
Mike Ganance
Oreo dessert was so delicious! Just went to their brunch special, and boy was it delicious. The brunch atmosphere was amazing. Loved the guy playing piano
Michele A
Found this quaint little restaurant by accident. Glad I did. The food is delicious, the menu has so many excellent choices. The waitstaff is very attentive and professional. They also have an extensive wine list. I highly recommend.
John Mc
Great food, wine and atmosphere. One of the Italian restaurants in all of Tampa. Sometimes we feel a little rushed. Multiple waitresses. Hard to get a second or third glass of wine lately. That’s pure profit. Even when there isn’t a line feels like they want to turn the table over. Not overly relaxing for customers.
Gilbert Leon
Been here 3 times now and the service and food is phenomenal. Some dinner entree portions can be a little smaller than what Americans are used to, but after some wine and dessert, you’ll leave stuffed! Tiramisu and dessert wine is a must! Also really cool to see a vermouth by the glass. Definitely a hidden gem in Carrollwood. I don’t agree with many of the bad reviews about owners being snobby, I’ve never had an issue, they seem very nice. When short staffed (like all hospitality is right now) you will find them working their tails off in there alone trying to take care of everyone. Will definitely frequent for some pasta!
Darian Canno
If you haven’t been here. I highly recommend. Wonderful Italian restaurant with a great ambiance and a beautiful couple that run it. They are from Italy and give you the most wonderful experience. When we entered she cautioned that they were busy and a little backed up and might take a bit of time however we felt very attended too and never felt like we were waiting. We are big foodies and my gosh every single bite we took was better than the last. I got the lasagna and had a “princess sauce”. Melted in my mouth. The portions are large and I could only eat about half so they boxed it up for me and maaaan does it taste better than next day. Everything is from scratch and made with love. The chef, Franco(co-owner), came out and told us we had to save room for dessert because he created his own take on a tiramisu, an oreomisu. If you have a sweet tooth this dessert was created for you. This place is amazing and if you don’t get a chance to eat here I feel bad for you.
** I hadn’t read the reviews and all the low star people are wrong. We are young couple(mid twenties) and never felt any hostility and felt this place was very welcoming to us. And I wish I can comment because obviously these people are horrible and don’t know what it takes to run a nice restaurant.
reuben collins
Authentic experience, an enthusiastic team focused on delivering delicious food. We had the table for 2 house, no rushing, no pressure to flip the table, a fantastic place to get great Italian cuisine without feeling rushed.
Ashley
So happy we found this place. Last night was the second time going. Our table got the vodka ravioli (delicious), tortellini (omg this was my favorite thing for the night). We also got the gnocchi (prob my least favorite of the table but I like white sauce more) and the risotto with shrimp (pretty good but the tortellini was by far my favorite). Forgot to take pic of our food. We cleared our plates.
Last time we went I got the truffle ravioli and holy moly I dreamt about that a while It must be rotated in the menu bc I didn’t see it last night.
Gary Mazur
Wow. Everything we had was amazing! The table side fettuccine was the best I have ever had. Service was exceptional and everything was very clean. Great local Italian gem.
Raregemgirl Studio
Food was delicious, atmosphere very family oriented and owners go out of their way to make your experience perfect. This is a very kid friendly environment. I have a 13 and 15 but while we were there there was a family with babies under 3 and the staff was very kind to them and accommodating. This is a piece of Italy in my backyard and we will be back for sure
Marc-Edwin Rigaud
Food was exceptional. Excellent wine pairing with the dishes. The addition of truffles was amazing. Definetly worth going there.
Tara Wasson
Great food, awesome service and the Oreo tiramisu was amazing!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, (with my daughter, to celebrate her upcoming voyage to her first year in college), to a fine Italian restaurant in North Tampa by the name of La Casa Della Pasta -Tampa
For those not in the know, this is a small - quaint restaurant decorated in the traditional Italian way. Candles on the tables, art on the walls, dark colors etc.
The couple who own it (Mara and Franco) are from Northern Italy. ("The Langhe in Piedmont, located in the northwest of Italy") and they opened this location in Tampa in 2017 - Maria is front of house and Franco is back of the house. Each plate is cooked to order and attention to detail is apparent (just as it would be in Northern Italy).
The extensive menu made choosing a dish quite a task, but my daughter has always been a fan of Calamari so we started with...
Calamari Fritti as our Antipasti.
The rings were consistent and very lightly fried in olive oil. The calamari inside was delicious and very very tender, as it should always be. - We were of course provided with a bread basket and other accoutrements (Parmesan tarts) prior to the Antipasti, everything timed to account for the cooking time of each course.
Entree time... and my daughter chose a dish she is familiar with from other ventures to Italian restaurants.
"Penne Alla Rustica"
(Homemade penne pasta, chicken breast, mushrooms, parmesan cheese, onion and Brandy Sauce.) - Apparently the sauce was significant because my daughter was quite impressed with the flavor of Brandy in every bite.
My choice was A bit more adventurous.
"Vitello Mare E Monti"
Veal scallopini, asparagus, crab meat, fontina cheese, and a chianti glaze reduction.
The veal could be cut with a fork and the entire first bite practically melted in my mouth. The fontina cheese was melted over the veal fillet and under the crab making each bite an adventure of unctuous tender goodness.
I paired with a glass of Merlot and the dish was served with a side of pasta and steamed vegetables but the veal was the star.
For dessert (We ordered dessert because of the special occasion and location)...
Sage had Chocolate Cake - which came as a delectable pice of cake large enough for two and drizzled with scrumptious chocolate sauce/ganache.
I ordered: TIRAMISU and OH MY GAWD
Best adarn dessert I have had - gonna say since - Well since forever. I could not get enough! YUM! 😋
All in all, if you are looking for a personalized and special experience for yourself, your familia or for a extra special date night, I would recommend highly that you keep this Northern Italian bistro in your hot list of places to go.

This place was so amazing! The food was so flavorful and delicious, from the Tortellini dish I had, to the extensive wine list, and the incredible tiramisu at the end. Many of the other dishes were also great. Ambiance was wonderful, and the owners from Italy were lovely.
Russel Weich
I'm shocked the ratings only have this in the 3's. My family and I went last night for my birthday dinner, and it was fantastic! I'm a huge chicken parmigiana critic/connoisseur (in my own mind) and this was top of my list!
The husband and wife owned and run restaurant is untouched in this type of dining: quite, romantic, modern easy going place with amazing food!
Do Not Forget the Tiramisu!! I've never had a dessert make my mouth water so bad!!
Karla Wilson
Always great authentic, fresh Italian food with great service. The owners are so friendly.
Eagle 33a
Fettuccine in the Parmigiano wheel made table side was amazing...owner is wonderful very personable...
If you like puttanesca you will love Orecchiette Alla Puttanesca....comes with or without anchovies, I got extra...absolutely amazing...wait staff was awesome and on very helpful...espresso was great with homemade treats and desserts were on point. We will definitely be back
Brandi Reifenstein
Excellent! I took my husband for a romantic Christmas dinner for two, highly recommended and this place did not disappoint. Cozy romantic atmosphere, food was delicious I had the cheese ravioli with vodka sauce, we were served bread with our appetizers, brushetta between the main course, and a sweet treat after desert too! This is our new favorite go to place. I can't wait to try something else on the menu. Be sure to make a reservation as it fills up fast.
Elle Dye
Each bite was a delight, and the owners could not have been nicer. We can’t wait to return. 3 people, 3 different meals, every thing was phenomenal!
Viviana González
A lovely restaurant, the food is really tasty, makes you feel in Italy! The owner and the service are awesome!
Plus: The oreo tiramisu are unbelievable!🤤 …
Timothy Sewall
A quaint restaurant filled with wonderful recipes from Northern Italy. Beer, wine, and soda are the beverages of choice. From the start, a whole array of choices await you, but if you want some of the freshest bruschetta imaginable - don't walk - run in to get some...our table of 8 each had a separate entree, however, most were devoured before I could get a picture. The silence that came from the table truly demonstrated how fantastic the food was. While we were stuffed completely, we couldn't imagine leaving such a wonderful place without trying their desserts - cannolis, tiramisu, and brownie misu all graced the table last. Again, another course... No disappointment.
Dharini Patel
The Best food and service I have ever received. And their desserts are to die for. If I could give infinity stars I would.
J P
We had a dinner reservation for my husband’s birthday and from beginning to end it was wonderful. We were a party of 12 and at no moment did we ever feel rushed while we went over our menus or while we asked questions while we were placing our orders. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful. The food was great and the cozy Christmas feel for this time of the year was just perfect. We all left happy and full. Thank you guys for making my husbands birthday extra special. We will definitely be back.
Samira Pinto
Amaziiiiing!!!! Everything we had was amazing!!!! From appetizer to desert, even the water was delicious! Lol I’ve been craving authentic Italian food for years, it was so wonderful to find this little treasure in Tampa!
Ps. the Oreo tiramisu is the best thing I’ve ever eaten 🥰 so happy we got to experience one, definitely going back to try more magical food & desserts!
Michelle Earley
The new (apparently it has been 5 years) owners are great!! We had excellent service. The food is all made in house and was delicious!! Kid friendly now and we had an awesome experience!
Asan Bui
Romantic setting with great Italian homemade food. You would never know about this place from looking outside but surprised us when we walked inside to see paintings and photos of Italy plus a warm and cozy feel of home. We live by this restaurant for 12 years but never thought of eating there because of the look from outside but this is a definite place to have a great dinner.
Mai Tran
So glad we got to enjoy this gem of an Italian restaurant. Food and the service was excellent!
Ryan S
I've had the pleasure of dining here multiple times. Fantastic authentic food paired with exceptional service! The owners are great people and the staff truly cares about your experience. Will continue to return with friends and family.
Laura M
Authentic Italian fare. Superb service. Took my toddler and they made a special "Mac & cheese" for her. Will definitely be returning.
Caleb DeVries
AMAZING ITALIAN FOOD!! That’s all there is to say. Some of the best I have ever had.
Glenna Dunn
Service was excellent and the food delicious. Small place but romantic and a huge selection of wine. I'm looking forward to going back soon
naja crothers
I wanted a nice Italian cuisine for dinner yesterday I read their reviews and just took a chance and let me tell you. GO HERE. Go here for your anniversary dinner, your birthday, graduation, cause it’s Tuesday, it doesn’t matter make any reason to go here. The service immaculate. The food?? IMMACULATE. Delicious, just beautiful. The atmosphere homey, upscale and comforting. Just a surprisingly good experience and the food was ABOVE and beyond my expectations. Thank you! And I will be back again soon! But not soon enough!! Oh and they’re on Uber eats so if you don’t want leave your house but want some really good Italian cuisine! They have an extensive wine list and food menu! So you can try something different every time!
KGI Kloud Relations
Madison was fantastic, and it was was some of the best Italian food I have ever had. This place is a must stop for anyone who loves pasta! Clean from top to bottom, and the chef personally came out and apologized for the “delay” even though our food was out within even 10-15 mins, with every different entre making all 6 of us say “wow!” On the first bite.
Josh Cbrtls
Excellent, AUTHENTIC Italian food. Went in not expecting a whole lot, was highly impressed with my main course and the food in general. The appetizer had a weird twist to it(Arancini), it wasn't bad but wasn't what I was expecting. Music choice during our EARLY dinner was probably left over from the mid-day lull, it was definitely not experience appropriate, 5 stars. Oh quick edit: get the Tiramisu
Catherine Ansel
Gréât restaurant with delicious authentic Italian food. Loved the fresh homemade pasta. Gréât ambiance with excellent customer service. The owners Franco and Mara are the nicest people dedicate to their quality and service. 👏. You have to go and try it! …
Russell Moore
Great experience and food. They're doing a great job in a lovely, quiet atmosphere. Go hungry, especially if you want to have antipasti, salad and dessert. We got our tiramisu to go so we could enjoy it later. We look forward to our next visit.
Kent Love
By far the best and most authentic Italian dishes in the bay area. Mara and Franco take great pride in their food and service. We recently took some friends and they were blown away as well. It’s so hard to pick a dish from the amazing menu. Everything we’ve ever had has been delicious. Also, ask about wines from their native area of Italy.
Tracee Ivins
Awesome Service. This was our first visit but will not be our last. Franco and Mara were both very personable. Franco came to our table to talk to us about our food and chat with us directly. The entire experience was very intimate and the food was amazing. My favorite was the tiramisu desert. We will definitely be back!
Nyal Laird
Great Italian food. Good ambiance and great little before service breads and cheese.
Keathel Chauncey
If you love Italian food, this is a must try. If you kinda like Italian food, this is still a must try.
Elaine Morales
Beautiful experience! La Casa Pasta is authentic Italian food and wine which reminded us of our travels to Northern Italy. Chef is passionate and personable. Just beautiful! Bravo!
Julianna Wiessner
Dining here is an experience! You feel like you are an honored guest at their home. It helps that the food is excellent and the service impeccable. This is my go-to Tampa eatery from now on.
Susana Larrea
Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere!
Jim Schaefer
Great experience! I had the carnia pescatari (grouper) it was delicious. I finished have and the waitress took it back to the kitchen to package for my lunch the next day. It was mistakenly tossed into the garbage. They cooked me an entirely new dinner to go. Over and above.
Serrano
It is a restaurant with a warm atmosphere and excellent food. High recommended
Madison Sabatto
I don’t care what these people say it is completely wrong. Best Italian restaurant in Tampa. My experience was absolutely amazing I tried the parmigiana wheel as recommended by our server Juleza who I loved!! In this meal Franco the owner comes up to our table and torches this big bowl of Italian parmigiana and then adds the pasta right in. I’m telling you people I felt like a kid in the candy store. Also Mara recommended a delicious wine ( the co owner and wife of Franco) to compliment the meal perfectly and I ended with an oreo misu which like the name is an oreo tiramisu. They really found a way to encapsulate the AUTHENTIC Italian experience. I will be coming back for seconds.
Jo-Anne Newby
I ordered using Uber Eats. I know the food is decent as I have dined at the restaurant. It’s pricey and the portions are so small.
I ordered eggplant rollatini which is an appetizer but it looked like a spoonful of sauce in a tiny little styrofoam container. The bag of that and a Caesar Salad was so light it didn’t feel like anything was in it.
I’ll never eat in or order take out for them again. So underwhelmed and disappointed. No bread and nothing that made you feel like you ordered from a fine dining restaurant.
Jay & Tammy Friss
We went to this restaurant for the first time on 7/24 for my husbands 68th. In general in was just okay. The best part about our evening was our company and Madison our waitress. For some reason the time to get a very small salad on a small plate took a very long time. The four of us in our party all agreed that our meal was too salty. Because of some miscommunication about a beer that my husband said no he didn't need but was brought anyway, the owner came out and said we wouldn't be charged for that beer. He also apologized about something that was going on in the kitchen for the wait for our food, however everyone inside seemed to get their order okay. I would give it a try one more time....maybe.
I ordered the "Orecchiette Alla Puttanesca" and requested the anchovies, but I don't think they existed, but maybe for the best since the dish was already salty.
Sohal Shah
Visited this cute little restaurant for our anniversary. We were served by the owners Franco and Mara. The food was super fresh, the service was impeccable, and the flavors took you back to Italy! Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!
Jason Davis
A really great Italian gem tucked away in Carrollwood. The star of the show is the Fettuccine Alfredo rolled in their giant wheel Parmigiano Reggiano with cracked black pepper, which they melt with a blowtorch. The sharp cheesy flavor comes through so distinctly. I'm pretty sure this has forever ruined Fettuccine Alfredo from anywhere else for me.
Angela M
Experienced this establishment a few days ago. This restaurant is more traditional Italian, in the sense of no soup or salad offered with main dish only bread and oil. With that being said, for pricey food, I found the dish to be very expensive for the quality of food provided. I was also provided a very small pour for wine. I am undecided if we will return.
Steven Falkowitz
This was, by far, one of the best restaurants at which to eat. Friends of ours recommended that we eat here, and they were not mistaken. From the extra added touches of the special gorgonazola cheese at the start of the meal through the dessert and coffee at the end (we ordered the traditional pannacotta which was absolutely exquisite), the meal and the ambience made me feel like I was in a trattoria in Italy itself. I cannot wait to go back there!
Jessica Moore
My fiancé and I ate here for the first time tonight and we just had to leave a review! The service was stellar. We enjoyed the arancini for an appetizer, which were cheesy and delicious. We then had the risotto with pancetta and shrimp, and the ravioli in a cream sauce. BOTH dishes were so good, we were barely able to save enough room for dessert. But we were glad we did—we enjoyed the Oreomisu—a cross between tiramisu and cookies and cream!
It was our first time here but it definitely will not be our last. La Casa Della Pasta is truly a hidden gem worth visiting (and revisiting!)
David Stitt
The owners of this restaurant are great people and straight from Italy. The quality and flavor of their dishes are amazing. We had eggplant parmesan, mushroom risotto, and ravioli. Will definitely be back.
Alana Lempert
We have been here numerous times and always have an incredible experience. The owners and staff treat us like family. We brought friends that hadn't been before and they loved it. Every meal is delicious. Highly recommend.
Susan Mell
Mixed reviews on first visit. Not very busy but service of food was slow. Told was short staffed and to be patient since they were busy. There was not allot of people there yet. Seemed to get busier after 8:00 pm. Veal not pounded and heavily breaded and bland. The salad and appetizers were all amazing! Only one of three veal dishes were pounded and lightly breaded properly. They did take off one dish off the bill. Thank you. Very hard for us to visit a restaurant that has been in business for 2 years and still does not have there dishes consistent. Also, not all wines on the list were available. We will try it again since the appetizers were so amazing and the staff that was available very nice.
Laura Wendt
A nice surprise. The ingredients are fresh. They even make their own mozzarella cheese. It's obvious that they pay attention to the smallest detail of preparing their food. It was delicious. The desserts were yummy too and a perfect ending.
Jody Gooley
Franco and Mara turned a regular dinner outing to a fabulous experience! Between Mara's wine selections and Franco's custom made food and desserts, we had one of the best dining adventures in many years!!
Bill Dickens
We've had the joy of eating here many times!
Most authentic Itailian meal in Tampa!
Linda B
We were greeted and sat promptly for our reservation, which on a Wednesday at 6:30 was unnecessary. Only two other tables were occupied but by 7 or so two larger parties showed up. The room was fairly noisy and I imagine when it's full it could be difficult to hear conversation. We received two small Parmesan cracker/muffin upon being seated, which were fine but it was equivalent to eating a tablespoon of Parmesan as no other flavors were involved. The calamari appetizer was prepared perfectly and seasoned well. I enjoyed the aioli dipping sauce, a nice change from the usual marinara. The Caesar salad was a bit of a let down. They do not use anchovies in the dressing and the server said they could be added upon request but the menu does not say that, nor was I asked when ordering if I might want them. The Romaine was pretty white but not bitter and the salad overall was fine. It took awhile for the entrees to come out but not too long. The mushroom risotto was excellent. The grouper pescatore was pretty good too but I like my lemon butter sauce a little more on the lemony side (but I should have requested that). The portion was very large and I could not eat the sides of pasta and veggies, which from the small tastes I had were also very good. I had the chianti classico riserva - very flavorful. The service was perfunctory, with the owner being mostly occupied by other tables (but still came to our table). Our server was nice but very reserved and would not look at you in the eye most of the time or smile, but she performed the basics of service well.
Steve Bernstein
It's been awhile since I've submitted my comments on this resraurant. Forgive my negligence because we have become regular customers at one of the best Italian restaurants in the Tampa area. Situated in a corner of a quiet plaza on Ehrlich Rd, in Carrolwood, is La Casa Della Pasta. You've got to work a bit, to find it, but I guarantee you, it's worth the effort. Where do I start? The ambience, the service, the food...is all phenomenal. Let's start with Mara. She handles the front of the restaurant and is the warmest friendliest Host you'll find anywhere. And she's trained her staff well. The service is impeccable and everyone is knowledgeable, warm and friendly. And then we have Mara's husband Franco, who is responsible for some of the finest Italian dishes I've had the opportunity to eat. The pasta is fresh and homemade. The red sauce is incredible. And whatever Franco makes , you'll be pleased. Arlene had Spaghetti Aragosta and Granchio (pasta w/ crab and lobster in a princess sauce). It's a dish she's had many times and loves it more each time. I had a Grouper with a red suace and clams, accompanied by rigatoni and fresh vegetables. The grouper was cooked perfectly, the sauce is "to die for" and the rigatoni and veggies were cooked perfectly al dente. And our Tiramisu dessert, again made by Franco, was exceptional. All in all,,,a wonderful dinner, We'll keep coming back again and again.

Best italian in Tampa. Probably the best risotto I've had with amazing homemade sausage. Service was incredible with the owners checking up on every step. A most stop from one foodie to another.
Ethel DeMonaco
My daughter recommended this place due to it's high reviews from other diners as it was on the way home and opened til 10 p.m. We had an excellent meal and talked to the relatively new owners, Franco and Mara. It has a charming, cozy ambience, excellent menu and lovely little perks such as the parmesan biscuits presented as soon as you sit down, fresh homemade bread and bread sticks while you look through the menu, and little shortbread like cookies that appear with the check. All in all, a delightful experience. We will be back.

excellent Italian restaurant! Owners came from n.w. Italy 2 years ago and it shows; very authentic food, great service, nice atmosphere. Owners served us and brought homemade Parmesan biscuits and chocolate shortbread treats to our table free! Menu has huge selection of entrees. Only negative is they only have beer & wine, although we ordered Aperol spritzer cocktails before dinner that were delicious. Will definitely return!
Rick Sherin
Once again, we enjoyed a great meal in a great Italian restaurant with geat friends & famly. Our hosts Marco & Mara treated us royally, as we celebrated yet another birthday--my 72nd. Thank you...again...for a wonderful evening. We can't wait to return. Rick Sherin

FABULOUS RESTAURANT JUST OFF VETERAN'S EXPRESSWAY. Enjoyed great, delicious Italian food last evening. Service was very attentive, and owner made "spot on" recommendations. This is a great north Tampa addition !!! Highly recommend.
Meg Brushwood
Yum! A strip mall find if ever there is one, you won't regret stepping into this wonderful Italian restaurant. Don't let the name fool you, sounding more like a chain than the restaurant with amazing daily specials. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We had an appetizer, entrees and dessert and loved it all. Nice enough for a special night yet casual enough to be comfortable. A real delight to find!
Justin Burgess
Owned by a lovely couple who are excellent hosts, they serve amazing made-from-scratch pastas and sauces. Great selection of wines that pair well with all dishes. Probably the best Italian in Tampa for the price!
Edit: also a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence since 2018
David Wilson
My wife and I went for our third visit since Franco and Mara bought the restaurant (Valentine's Day). We haven't been disappointed yet. Yes, the price is higher than box chain restaurants, but its totally worth it. All meals are freshly made, Mara and Franco have incorporated recipes from their native Italy, and the wine list is very good and reasonable. They even had a South African pinotage which is one of my wife's favorite varieties. I'm not a seafood fan but decided to step outside my typical, traditional American-Italian pasta tastes, and try the squid-ink black ravioli stuffed with lobster and crab. It was amazingly good. The brandy cream sauce was full of flavor while remaining very light. My wife had the veal scaloppinni with mushroom sauce which was equally delicious. I can't recommend La Casa della Pasta highly enough.
Mary Thompson
🍷We were invited by friends who enjoy great food. I have drove by many times and never really noticed they were there.
🍴Last night we had a party of 5. The service was great! The food was spot on! We ordered the calamari, which came perfectly cooked and lightly breaded-along with a homemade dipping sauce-this was hands down the best I have had in a long time! We also ordered the fried mozzarella-incredible!
🍝For our dinner we had a variety of specials: the lobster ravioli, Italian sausage and bowties, chicken and capers, and a mouth watering filet.
🍮We continued to stuff our faces with a variety of desserts-equally on point!🍧
The food and service was amazing! Im anxious to go again and try the rest of the menu!
The owner/head chef even came out to check on us...and his wife was our waitress. What a nice and humbling touch. Fairly priced and worth the trip. This is a great local business that deserves a chance.👍👍👍👍👍
Teagan Leasure
I got the fettuccine and it was creamy and delicious. And they have pasta straws! :D
Viviana Munoz
I am going to give this restaurant a five. But let me explain why I am giving a five. First and foremost let me state the obvious the ambience and the service is excellent. The waiters very attentive owners were very friendly and hospitality. Now the food my appetizer came warm. I ordered mozerela cheese and it was not stringy how warm cheese would look like. It was delicious, I told the waitress it was a bit warm for my standards that’s me being nice and saying I hope my food comes out hot. Ok well that went over their heads. I ordered a ravioli dish that was filled with cheese. My food was warm and I had to send it back immediately to have them heat it up. At that point I’m turned off completely. The owner brought me my dish and it was hot but... ok so the pasta was definitely over cooked the sauce was delicious. This place would be a gold mind if they don’t live within their means and put some more TLC. Maybe more fresher food , the presentation attention to detail or what you put out. Would I try them again? Yes because I received a free dessert and that was the best thing I ate there. The wine though good, perfect temperature. I would definitely recommend you try it and get a feel for yourself. So expect for the worst and embrace the best.
Scott G
Excellent meal and service. Homemade authentic Italian food. You can tell the chef and owners put a lot of work into their restaurant. Look forward to returning.
Douglas Stimac
Pricey for pasta l but a family run business and it's tasty too. I'd pay more if the went to staff tips. Would be nice if they offered to sell pasta or they did a Podcast on how to make pasta - their homemade noodles are amazing.
JUSTIN JONES
This is absolutely one of our favorite restaurants in Tampa. The owners, Mara & Franco, always treat their guests as though they are welcoming you into their own home, and you can taste the love in every dish. Truly an amazing dining experience!
Adam Allison
The rolatini is amazing fresh and hot at the table. Everyone knows the merit of a place like this rests on the quality of it's sauce. And they crush it folks 💯 That being said.. The caprese would benefit had the tomatoes been a more flavorful garden variety. I'll be damned if the mozzarella ain't slammin though. …
L. Wooten
I am pleased to see this restaurant revitalized after its founder ran off the last customer uninformed of the epic rudeness and poor service they would receive. The new owners are lovely and the quality of the food was terrific. I had Cavatappi Alla Panna. The pasta was perfect, the sauce was creamy without being heavy. The peas and mushrooms were not overcooked and the pancetta was well balanced and did not overpower the flavor of the other ingredients. I'm planning the restaurant back into rotation after many years of driving by and remembering the disappointment of previous dining experiences.
Heather L
Place is amazing! Very fresh food you and you can even custom order. The staff is very friendly, attentive and super accommodating. Enrico was extremely knowledgeable on the wines and the actual origin of all of the dishes. Fantastic experience overall.
Matt Raab
You can always tell by the bread how an Italian restaurant is, and the bread is homemade and fantastic! Lasagna was incredible and so was ravioli. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.
Correy Johnson
Get the Parmesan bowl! The owner came out and cooked it all in front of us and it was an amazing experience. The food was amazing.
Al Goldman (DaShadow)
Best Italian in the Carrollwood area. New ownership really knows how to make you feel welcome and the food is outstanding. It's getting into the time of year that the outdoor seating will be great. We're making this restaurant a regular stop.
JN
What a difference the new owners Franco and Mara have made with Casa Della Pasta! We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is authentic Italian. We’ve dined here at least dozen times and have always had great meals.
What makes this a great Italian restaurant:
- homemade pastas
- great wine choices
- fresh, homemade dishes that remind me of those growing up in an Italian family
- little unexpected extras like the heart shaped shortbread cookies in different flavors
- the homemade tiramisu in glass serving bowls.
- the Lavazza coffee
My family is from Italy. I grew up eating Italian food. The food Franco and Mara prepare for their restaurant guests is legit. It’s the reason we eat there on a near regular basis.
In addition to the great food, the new owners are very nice, warm and welcoming. When we go to Casa Della Pasta, it’s like visiting with our Italian relatives for a home cooked meal.
We are very fortunate to have this gem of a restaurant in our neighborhood
Julian Giordano
Everything was so delicious. You can tell that it was all home made with molto amore! I met the owner and his wife when we were there and they were such incredible kind people. I was on a first date and forgot to make reservations, but they were able to get me a table in their busy dinner rush. I love this place! Wish I lived closer.
I would definitely recommend this place!! Thank you much to the owners, we had a great time at your restaurant and the food and service was outstanding! :)
David Franco
Great fresh food. Quality fresh ingredients. It looks from the outside like it wouldn't be too nice on the inside. However, when you go inside it looks really great! I love going there. Not your run-of-the-mill cheap Italian place though so be willing to spend a little bit more.
Michelangelo Mortellaro
Please disregard all of the old, poor, reviews! The food here has always been excellent but the former owner gave this restaurant a bad reputation for service and terrible online reviews. I personally stopped dining here over a year ago due to the former owner's attitude. That has now changed. The new owners are a husband and wife team from Italy (Franco and Mara). They are awesome and the food is better than ever! Don't judge this restaurant based on the previous reviews. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!
Lou Devos
The food & service was outstanding. A must for those who love authentic Italian cuisine. Calamari was one of the best I've ever had. The veal was tender and the sauce & cheese made it even better. Have the tiramisu or cannoli for desert if you still have room. If not take it home.
Crystal B Walker
I took some clients for dinner at La Casa della Pasta and the food was amazing. They specially made a dish that I ordered. The ambiance was great and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. I would definitely recommend this hidden authentic Italian gem.
Michael Gallo
Authentic italian. Great food, great service. Very welcoming. First restaurant I've been to since leaving Spain in March and it didn't disappoint. Outdoor seating a plus in these times! Thank you!
Tim & Cari Hotter
We come frequently on Mondays for drinks and apps. It's always awesome. Always a good time. Very clean and almost romantic. I we request my birthday dinner be here because one of us loves Italian food and I want to explore more.
Elvin Padilla
Awesome authentic Italian food!
Food was freshly prepared and perfectly cooked. Both owners came to our table to ensure we were completely satisfied. The Panna Cotta dessert & cappuccino coffee was the perfect ending to our meal
Rehema
Very good! The dishes were authentic and delicious. Disappointed they don't give you any bread and the portions were small so don't go hungry - you won't know that by the bill though... Quite expensive!
Jack Beredjick
Food was exquisitely prepared. Great wine selection. Dessert was phenomenal. We'll be back for certain. Nice to have food this good in the neighborhood locally and family owned. Bravo!!!
Brittany Medina
Had a great dinner here! I had the gnocchi and it was delicious. Friendly and attentive staff and great date night/intimate atmosphere. Would definitely dine here again and recommend to others.
Joel Ingegno
As a professional chef for 35 years I have not had a better meal. The service is outstanding, the food is perfectly executed and is truly Italian not the Americanized version. The owners/hosts are truly remarkable people. They hail from Alba Italy between the two best wine regions in Italy and they lived in truffle country... what more could you ask for.. ther are honest, sincere and genuine as is their food. Their Italian knowledge of wine is incredible... They want to be on Wine Spectators top ten... and I believe they will be.. watch out for these two you Italian restaurant wannabes they are going to take over. A must go restaurant if you do I probably will be therr... Buno appetito
Anthony Gjonaj
Enrico (owner) is the absolute best! If you're not in a rush. Sit at the bar and hang out with him. Stories and food suggestions for days. No crappy watered down Italian here. Authentic 100%! Don't let the avg. review score fool you (almost fooled me). We've been here 3 times and always excellent. They even made my wife a custom dish. Came out perfect! We'll be back often!
Chris Chasteen
Best pure pasta dish ever. Fresh made ribbon pasta. Unbelievable sauce! If your in the Carrollwood area and thinking about Carrabba's or any other chain Italian, you're wasting your $$$. Check it out. Delightful couple fresh off the boat own and manage my new favorite Italian restaurant. You will not be disappointed!!! Unless you're a freaky impatient person. Their still refining their processes a bit. The food more than makes up for it!
Sandy McFarland
Dinner tonight at La Casa Della Pasta was delicious. Everything from the service to the food, wine, cappuccino and dessert was amazing. The owners checked on us several times to make sure our dining experience was great. A++
Alexis Estrada
My boyfriend and I went there twice in the past two weeks because we can't get enough of their pasta. Tastes authentic and fresh! Would definitely recommend this place to others.
Adriana Wilwant
Food was out of this world. Very romantic little cut cozy spot. Owners were extremely welcoming. Highly recommend
jaciuro
The food we ordered was good but for the price paid it could've at least included a salad. Our group was large and some were late but throughout the experience, until more patrons arrived, we were essentially being stared at by the staff who did not seem happy or nice except for Nikki. It almost seemed as if they were wanting us to order already and Christina appeared less than pleasant through facial expressions and seemingly sarcastic smiles, she was better off not smiling at all. Nothing personal, just a very obvious observation. It's okay to be attentive, not okay to hover in this manner. Nikki was awesome and very friendly. *This write up is a collective comment to include mostly those mentioning things for me to add, these thoughts are from almost everyone that participated.
Scott Boyce
We've been going to La Casa della Pasta for over 7 years. It isn't Olive Garden or Carrabas, so don't expect those prices. I've yet to have a bad meal or think it wasn't worth the final bill. Enrique has been nothing but kind and respectful to us (including our 10 year old son) every time. We took our son (3 at the time) with us the first visit. Enrique couldn't have been more kind - even made a small cheese pizza for our son for no charge. I've read a number of reviews from people who obviously don't understand that most adults don't care to have children running around a restaurant interrupting others. Enrique simply doesn't tolerate childish behavior, no matter the age of the person exhibiting it. His passion is serving delicious food, not dealing with bratty kids or entitled adults. If you want a delicious Italian meal and can afford it, pay Enrique a visit. If you can't control your children or your own ego, neither he nor the rest of us who love eating there want your business.
Donna Quarles
Great ambiance! Freshly made pasta. In-house baked fresh bread. Yummy sweets! I loved everything about this place and will become a regular. Go check it out for yourself.
Lois Szydlowski
First time here and we were the only ones in the place at 7 pm on a Monday night. You would think that being an Italian and a Pasta place, they could those two things rightthe Special Pork Shank was well prepared and good but served over OVERCOOKED Risotto...dry. My husband ordered a pasta dish and the pasta was UNDERCOOKED by about 2 minutes...and we like Al dente pasta...The bread was cold and the dipping oil was way too spicy for an starter to the meal...dulls the taste buds. The house salad was good, nothing to order again, but very fresh. I would cut them some slack if the place was mobbed and we were there on Valentines day but WE WERE THERE ONLY CUSTOMERS THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE!!!...I won't go back because the the prices are too high for poorly cooked food.
Christy Williams
We took my daughter there for her 13th birthday, and it was a treat in every sense: delicious food, hearty portions, relaxing atmosphere, and attentive wait staff. The food was well worth the wait as it was cooked to order. This will be our "special place" for now on.
nikki criss
This is an excellent local restaurant. Authentic Italian meals and now under new ownership and the owners are the sweetest and straight from Italy which I love because they bring their flavor and secrets of Italy to the restaurant which I loved to go to before and will continue . If anyone is looking for fresh pasta and fish and different Italian dishes please check out this restaurant , it's worth it.
Liz k
All pasta is freshly made, service was great
Joseph Bongiorno
Intimate, inviting, and above all, delicious. Kind waitstaff and the owners have a big presence. We will definitely be back.
Brook Nepon-Sixt
We are in love with La Casa della Pasta! My wife and I have become frequent visitors, and the experience is always so exquisitely pleasant. I always get the Bolognese, and it is so delicious that it has become addicting to me. My wife equally craves the Penne Rustica on a biweekly basis. Uber Eats helps us with that one if we don't feel like leaving the house. On top of all of that, the customer service and fine dining experience are five star worthy! The owners are so personable and seem to be friends with everyone that walks in the door, and the way we are treated is no exception. Do yourself a favor and go to La Casa della Pasta for dinner the next chance you get!!
Lindsey Schoenberg
The ambiance was romantic, food was fantastic and fast, service was remarkable. Great Italian cuisine! We can’t wait to go back! A new local favorite!
Vanessa Trujillo
I love this place! By far the BEST pasta I have ever had in the states!!! The owner and his wife are the sweetest. My family and I always have the best time here. 😍 …
Christina Hammond
Would have given it 5 stars except for the bottle of olive oil brought to our table was sticky. Food, presentation and service was was very good. But the sticky olive oil bottle kept the experience from being perfect.
Milly Borja
The setting was lovely, service was amazing and food was delicious. The owners checked in on us, brought out our good and were very sweet. Even brought a few cookies with the check. Very impressed!
Kelly Torres
An absolutely outstanding meal and evening. Fresh, homemade taste with excellent and friendly staff. The owners came from Italy and make you feel at home. We will definitely be back!
Fred Hoffman
I guess the people with groupons or children need to eat at Pizza Hut. We loved the food they are not an Italian "chain food" eatery as what we ate was gourmet and definitely not "out of a can" I had the Lasagna which was in in a white sauce and was the finest Lasagna I ever had in this city. The Caprese Salad which were tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella cheese were a culinary delight. My husband had a house salad and said it was a welcome change from your boring run of the mill house salad. The lettuce (which were mixed greens) were crisp and full of olives, raisins, tomatoes and other goodies not found in your standard boring house salad. He loved the salad dressing and stated it was sweet and light - nothing like anything he had tasted before. The staff was attentive, polite and kept a vigilant watch over the patrons to make sure no one was lacking in either food or beverage. We were so grateful there were no other patrons there with their whiny crying children which made our dining experience absolutely perfect. Children in restaurants are like smokers used to be - they need to be either banned lol or isolated into certain parts of restaurants so as not to annoy other people trying to enjoy an adult dining experience. We would come back here many many times.
Alison DiChristopher
When my husband and I are in the mood for great authentic Italian food we always go here. The service is great and the food is always top notch. It never disappoints.
Taylor Woychowski
For the past seven years, we've enjoyed the delicious Italian food served at La Casa della Pasta. Today, we walked in and discovered that Franco and Mara had taken over ownership of the restaraunt. The service was wonderful and the food was even better! The menu we have come to love and cozy atmosphere have been preserved. My boyfriend and I started with the bruschetta and ordered the black spaghetti crab (special) along with the ravioli di formaggio alla vodka as our entrees. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the handmade pasta was cooked to perfection. We finished with their light and airy tiramisu that compares only to my favorite at Angelo's in New York's Little Italy. While we sipped on decorated cappuccinos served with sugar rock candies, Franco and Mara stopped by to formally introduce themselves. They moved here from Italy about a month ago and could not be more kind! As we were walking out, Franco noticed the heavy rain and insisted he walk us to our car with an umbrella. Their friendly and welcoming attitude is a great addition to the restaurant. We can't wait for our next dinner at La Casa della Pasta!
laura sgroi
We went on VD and it was wonderful. The staff was attentive and on point, the reservations were staggered so it wasn't chaos, and the food was delicious. I can't wait to go back and check out the full menu!
Mike Maurer
We found this little place by accident and we have fallen in love with it. We drive from Weeki Wachee and we love the service, atmosphere, and of course the food! The owners are very involved and all the details are covered. Gotta try it!
Sara
The atmosphere was pleasant and romantic. The service was great. The star of the show, though, was the food. It was amazing!! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant!
Danny Miller
First time going here. Food was amazing and the service was awesome. Nice atmosphere. Authentic Italian dishes so good. Will go again!

Great authentic Italian food. My husband loved the lasagna and the carbonara was almost as good as my grandmas recipe.
Kevin Fernandez Lopez
Excellent place. Authentic Italian food, the owners were very nice and came to talk to us to make sure the food was good. Really quiet and charming place. Highly recommended.
Dylan W. Edwards
6 out of 5 stars! Absolutely made a great family experience, owners directly catered to our family and made Christmas eve special and DELICIOUS! A new family tradition!
Carolina Castillo
Not sure what is the best part of it! Great atmosphere, the service is beyond amazing, really like how the owners are involved and are so nice! The food is unbelievable good, great presentation, great flavors!! A 20 out of 10!!!
Atesa Ghaffar
This place is the number one Italian restaurant in Tampa. Great restaurant with traditional recipes.Very warm welcome and extremely polite service. The restaurant is a family business with very friendly owners. I could be there every day. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Lina N.
My family and I have had wonderful experiences here. This is a hidden gem in Carrollwood and Tone of my favorite Italian spots in Tampa, highly recommend everything here!
Jeff Darby
Great atmosphere, staff/owners and menu. Decent wine and beer list. Wonderful desserts. Highly recommend and will definitely return.
Stephanie Parker
Fantastic food and excellent service. Franco and Mara are wonderful hosts in a way that has you convinced you just spent time with family. We will be back.
Jennifer Vickery
Someone turned us and our friends away because they had a sleeping baby in a carrier. They told us no babies are allowed before we could even walk in the door. That just made us feel uncomfortable. The vibe there is always a little weird and not very welcoming but food has been good in the past.
Glenn Packard
Great food and awesome Sangria. Daughter treated me for Father's Day so the price was right. Truth is the value was very good and time with family was sweet !
kylie kutz
Delicious little italian spot with great appetizer, dessert, and coffee selections. Good amount of choices on their menu for pasta.
Cris Godfrey
This is our favorite restaurant. The food is amazing. The staff are fantastic. Authentic Italian dining.
Amanda Cappello
I like Italian, and this place is definitely good, but it’s just not worth the high prices to me. It’s maybe 5% better than most Italian places and twice the price. I’ll save my money and go to Bella’s in South Tampa.
Luke Naylor
Lovely owners, lovely servers, lovely vibes. The food and drinks were great and the whole experience was all around fantastic. Definitely worth checking out.
April Rayne
Excellent service, great staff and the best food.
Carlevale Electric
We actually shared our dishes because each were so delicious! Our server and the owners were so friendly and attentive, we can't wait to take our family.
Shalomoth Reeves
The food was good but a bit over priced ( $18 and up for meals). The wait staff was inexperienced, inattentive, and unorganized. After finishing our meal, we waited for almost an hour while they stuggled to figure out the bill.
Amber Bacon
I love the decor on the outside, and the service was fantastic. However, I felt the food was mediocre, and very pricey. Also, they charge you $4.00 to split a meal, which I think is kind of ridiculous, especially when you're buying appetizers, cocktails, and salads. I'm glad I had the experience, but I probably won't go back.
Hector Colon
Excellent from start to finish! Went there to celebrate our 26th anniversary. Great service, ambiance and of course, the food!! Will definitely return!!!
W Carey Simpson
Love this place! Authentic Italian!
Tim Terlep
What a wonderful evening we spent with great food and attentive service! Having been our first visit, we didn't know what to expect and were so pleased with our experience! I just made reservations for tonight!
Alyssa Hill
The nutmeg in alfredo sauce is apparently a thing. But I wasn't impressed. I felt it's just overpriced meh. The small breadsticks tasted stale. We didn't like it
Chris Stapleton
Delicious Food and a great atmosphere!! Great to see a family owned and run business.
