Incredible flavorful and generous servings. Having traveled to Italy every year, it’s often a challenge to find a place that has the care and uniqueness of genuine Italian dishes. The Pasta Bowl really was spot on for the Spaghetti Frutta Di Mare as seafood pasta is always a favorite when I travel abroad. The scallops were plentiful and filled with flavor the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the mussels were perfect as well… the pasta was perfectly cooked to taste. Although it was a very generous portion…. I just ate it til it was gone!! My guests also enjoyed their dishes as well!! The pictures will illustrate our servings, but please stop in and know for yourself, this is a good choice for great Italian dishes.

Absolutely disgusting! There was a roach in my sister’s food. Do NOT order or eat at this location! The department of health should be notified immediately! I’ve never seen nor experienced anything so disturbing! This location needs to be inspected and shut down!

Never disappoints. The pear salad is so good and two thumbs up for kids menu. Rainbow pasta is a hit!

Love this place, it always hits the spot when I want comfort food. I’m obsessed with the pomodoro and add their giant meatballs to it! So good. Our server Lio was fantastic as well!! Will always be happy to come to pasta bowl :)

My kids and I LOVE this place. GREAT FOOD! Amazing service.

A lot nicer/cleaner looking than the one on Clark St. BUT the food on Clark St. tasted a lot better.

My husband & I were extremely impressed with our delivery order. We ordered fried mozzarella sticks, shrimp caesar salad, gorgonzola gnocchi, spaghetti frutti de mare & plain cheesecake. The salad was awesome. Very fresh, perfectly cooked fresh shrimp, fantastic dressing, crisp romaine. Mozzarella sticks were very good, traditional & came with both marinara & alfredo sauces. The pastas were incredible. The gnocchi was delicious & melted in your mouth. The perfect pillow gnocchi you want to always have the pleasure of receiving. Insane sauce. So good. The seafood spaghetti again was with super fresh, perfectly cooked seafood, perfect al dente noodles & great sauce. Both highly recommended dishes! The NY style cheesecake had the (only acceptable) graham cracker crust & was also super good. We had to call the restaurant due to Door Dash requiring certain seafood requirements for the spaghetti & the woman I spoke with was very nice & completely understanding. Our order for a Friday night came at the proper times for delivery & everything was correct, warm & perfectly prepared. We are in Edgewater. Looking forward to going back to dine inside!

This place was good! I love the feel of the place and our waiter Michelle was amazing, she’s mastered the art of service!

This is literally my favorite takeout place in the neighborhood and I’ve always felt lucky to live so close by to them. I had a poor experience with my order being wrong last night, which wasn’t the first time it’s happen. However I love their food so much, that I decided to send them a feedback and give them a chance to make things right. The manager was finally able to see where I was coming from after a few exchanges, and has put forth effort into making things right in my next order with them. Because I’ve always been a fan and am crazy about their chicken fettuccine Alfredo I am willing to let them show me again how great they can be, and am happy to continue supporting businesses like them, that value their customers and do their best to retain customer loyalty. I will upgrade my review again after I know for sure in my next order that my food was prepared as I requested. In the meantime, if you are as crazy about fettuccine Alfredo as I am, I’d recommend giving them a try. Just don’t forget to add parmesan to your order if that is also a must to you as you place your order, as it isn’t included in the price of the entrees. PS: My issue wasn’t with the quality of their food, but on service/how it wasn’t made the way that I ordered it.

So delicious! The waitress was so kind and welcoming, I had a really nice experience here. I got the signature pasta which was really good, but the portions were HUGE. Like I have three portions of leftovers huge. I'd rather pay less for a smaller portion. Otherwise everything was great!
