    Grazi! La Pastia has matured into a great local restaurant. Wished there were more restaurants in the area like it. Ambiance: Light, comfortable, cheery, and well decorated venue…lots of seating inside and outside. Great for date night, friends gathering or families. Food: They have a solid happy hour with a nice list of food options…it’s not just drinks like many other happy hours. We had some items from the hh and regular menu…meatballs, artichokes, rice balls, arugula pear salad, prosciutto pizza and sea bass. The sea bass (special) was our favorite. It was flaky with a tasty coconut sauce and the risotto paired with it was delicious and a dusting of micro greens. We only wished they had added a side of veggies or mushrooms to the risotto. They have some good Italian wines…nice to have something different. We like the Super Tuscans. Service: Is always excellent. Love the energy of the staff. Some of them bring an authentic Italian experience to the table. The new GM came and introduced herself to us and recommended the sea bass, which as you have read was a great recommendation. This restaurant is one of our local favorites…we will be back again and again. 4.5 stars
