Pasta to Try

Homemade Lasagna

$18.99

Layered meat lasagna has beef, ricotta, Romano, marinara, and mozzarella.

“Our first time trying. We ordered takeout and considering the size of the order, it didn't take long to prepare and an employee helped carry it to the car. We tried a supreme 18 inch pizza, lasagna, calzone, cheese curds, garlic cheese bread, cheesecake, cannoli, and two kid's meals. Everything was delicious, especially the lasagna. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you!”

Chicken a La Vodka

$18.99

Grilled seasoned chicken and penne are served in vodka sauce.

“I work across the street and this is THE SPOT for me and my co-workers after work. It’s a very comfortable atmosphere - nothing fancy - but just perfectly right for a relaxing time. The food is really good….specifically the fried mozzarella. I always get the chicken pasta as my entree and it’s consistently great. The staff and bartenders are extremely friendly. Highly recommend this place for a night out with friends and family. Very kid friendly environment.”

Kids Pasta

$10.00+

Kids' pasta comes with a required choice of butter or marinara.

“Small but cozy bar, with absolutely amazing food tucked away. Been coming here for years, and the biggest thing I love is the consistency. In every aspect, never had bad service, nor bad food. I've tried most of the menu and it's all been great. Their pizzas are great, wings are nice and meaty with a good crisp skin. Chicken sandwiches, pasta, you name it and they do it well. I can actually tell that they use fresh ingredients, and do so with care. Owners are always present and involved which I love seeing. I can't say enough.”
