The Rigatoni at this restaurant was exceptional. The pasta was freshly made and cooked to perfection, and the sauce was delicious and perfectly portioned.
We ordered the rigatoni, meatball parm, and rice balls. Everything was delicious particularly the rigatoni. We will definitely be ordering from here again!
The Spicy Eggplant Parmesan was disappointing. The sauce and bread were great, but the eggplant seemed to be of poor quality. This used to be the best place ever, but the quality has declined since around the first quarter of 2023. However, they still have amazing recipes. The Turkey Salsa Verde Sandwich is usually unique and incredible, but it hasn't been as good lately. The pasta used to be less greasy in the past, so I stopped ordering it. The rice balls are consistently fantastic, as is the sauce.
The Chicken Parmesan and Spicy Meatball Parmesan were both pretty good, but they could have used more marinara sauce. I was happy I ordered a side of marinara because it was pretty good. Unfortunately, the Spaghetti with Beef Bolognese was not good. The pasta was overcooked and the beef was shredded, giving it a strange, soft texture. Everything else was good though.
The chicken parm, the turkey sandwich and all their pastas are really delicious. I would say I have gone over a half dozen times and it never disappoints. It is pricey some would think because it’s essentially a take out spot but it’s high quality and one of the best in the neighborhood.
