Good and inexpensive - one dish with included salad and breads is enough for people. The mushroom sauce was delicious.

Ordered some cheeses (asked for recommendation for contrasting types and the bartender who waited on us did great), antipasto, pate, bbq duck crepes and maybe something else. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were great for the price and atmosphere. My friends got the Pinot noir flights and I got the flagship. The pinots were big and easy to drink. Two generous pours made it not only enjoyable for the taste buds but nice on the wallet. My flagship flight consisted of a white and two reds and matched the food perfectly.

Had some pizza and pasta with a classic cannoli for dessert for a late Christmas dinner with my brother. Thank you guys the great food. Recommended.

Good place. Little overpriced though. I got the chicken calzone - wasn’t bad at all but I would choose something else next time. My wife got 1/2 spaghetti 1/2 ravioli- the ravioli was amazing but portion size was small (for the price) and spaghetti was okay. I did enjoy the breadsticks but the cheese spread tastes like canned spray cheese with spice in it

Once upon a time this was a real restaurant called Florentines. Alas for those days are gone forever. Yes the waitresses and waiters do hustle and bustle but only two good items remain, the breadsticks and cheeses dip! Sadly the food is not worth the money. The ambience of the once red and white table cloths are gone. It is over-rated and understated and the staff is working for too liitle pay. So, to get the best food there, don't go there. Do what my daughter said when I took her to Florentines at age 8. "Mom , this cheese dip tastes like Cheeze Whiz with garlic." I recommend buying cheeze whiz and adding garlic juice. Just as my daughter said, because The Paata Market will sadly never be what Florentines was!

Got the carbonara and the white clam sauce. The only thing that was good was the bread sticks. The noodles were way over cooked and tasted mushy. The clam sauce tasted old and the bowl was more like a soup than a pasta dish. Would not recommend coming here.

Love, love everything on the menu. Today I had the spaghetti and meat sauce. So good! The tossed salad always has the right amount of dressing. And the bread! Too much food for me for one meal, but I don’t mind leftovers for the next day.

Super yummy and under 40 for 2. The hell with the olive garden

We tried this restaurant for the first time tonight and it is absolutely incredible. Very generous portion (neither my Husband or myself) could finish. And the flavors were just to die for. We have finally found our pasta place and I couldn't be happier. Very friendly staff.
