I was expecting more, but it turned out to be quite an ordinary restaurant. Ordered pesto pasta and was not impressed.

Right up until I tasted the first bite of my entree, I would have left a one-star review. I was baffled by the buzz and confounded by the reviews. In retrospect I will write off the first part of our experience to a language barrier and the absolute worst calamari I ever had. Read my full review in Yelp (google doesn't allow enough space to do this experience justice). I could tell by looking at the calamari that this was no good. There were only rings, no tentacles, and the batter looked like McDonald's onion ring batter. It was thick and dusty, crisped dark brown and all of the pieces were uniform in size. It looked like frozen, fried calamari from the freezer section. It tasted like thrice-fried leftovers. It was burnt and had the texture very crunchy cardboard but not as tasty. I had to check to see whether there was a remnant of squid inside. It was horrible. Then the evening turned on a dime. As soon as we saw our dishes, we knew we had misjudged. The tortellinis were all different, varied in size and shape. In fact, I could swear there were some tortellini that had transitioned to raviolis. The sauces looked and smelled like the best of italian saucery. It was like smelling a cork and knowing that the wine is going to be incredible. This was a sure thing and our first bites confirmed this. There was sausage added to mine. The tortellinis and raviolis were soft and thin folds of very fresh pasta. The sauce clung to the pasta and each bite was heavenly. I loved mine. My wife loved hers. The menu offers many different types of pastas which you can then build to your liking from a list of sauce preparations, seafood, meats and poultry choices. There are also fixed daily specials and then everyday house specialities. The menu offers salads, panini, sandwiches and then a modest list of appetizers. Interestingly, there is no mention of calamari on the menu. We were never provided a dessert menu though he did ask if we wanted something sweet, coffee or tea. If it were not for the absolutely incredible entree, I would have given a horrible review of the service, atmosphere (it basically looks like a well-worn Italian deli with a half dozen tables) and food. The entree deserves at least six stars, not only for the sheer deliciousness but for the value. This was a fraction of the cost of other restaurants of similar quality. The man and the service seem somehow charming due to the exquisite pasta but the odd experience does call for a downgrade; hence the four stars. I say go and try it. Just don't order the calamari and if you want wine or other alcohol, hide it.

Delicious italian food with a family feel. Lots of dinner choices and huge servings. Owner is charming and welcoming

I am Italian and I don't think their linguini al pesto were properly done. I mean, they weren't bad, bad the pasta was overcooked in unsalted water and the pesto had too much garlic (most likely fried when it should be raw) and it was too thick. Maybe they can do better with other dishes, but don't expect Italian food prepared by the book
