Sorry, but this was not what we had anticipated. Very small place, so the noise level was very high! My husband and I couldn’t even hear each other to have a conversation. Our waitress was very nice, and was timely with our order. Unfortunately, the food was just mediocre at best. Over priced for what it was. I felt sick by the time we got home. Neither of us were impressed.

I really enjoyed my dinner , the mussels had great flavors I couldn’t stop dunking my fresh bread in my mussel broth. The pasta meal I had was very good also . I also had a tiramisu martini that was like dessert not to sweet just right . The waitress Sammy is a diamond to the establishment very pleasant to deal with and a great personality The prices are definitely worth what you get for food! ! Will definitely be going back !! !

We have been going to PastAmore for many years. The food is always great and the service is good, even when the restaurant is very busy. This past visit, we were seated in the rear of the restaurant and the area was very cold. Other than this inconvenience, everything else was great.

We’ve driven by this restaurant 9,000 times but never stopped. Such a pleasant surprise. The hostess seated us as soon as she could even though the place was slammed for Valentines Day. The menu was fixed, but the food was absolutely fantastic and probably the best Italian food I’ve had in this area. Our server was super nice and didn’t rush us, and checked in often. We got the mushroom ravioli with beef, and the cream sauce was done perfectly (hats off to the chefs). 10/10. We will be back!

PastAmore is a lovely small traditional Italian restaurant and one of the only places my Italian grandmother would eat at! Their food and staff never disappoint. If your looking for an intimate date spot look no further.
