Everything was amazing however it was a birthday celebration and although we ordered a dessert a candle or acknowledgment would of been nice. Not recommended for a birthday but will definitely return for dinner. 1st visit at this location, overhead parking was a plus since it was snowing.

I had a NY strip steak that was perfectly cooked and was the most tender strip steak I have ever eaten in my life—which, at my age, is saying something. In addition, I cannot rave enough about the service in this restaurant. Perfect to the tiniest detail. Highly recommended!

We hadn’t been back to 501 since June. My husband has celiacs and some of the menu choices are limited. We were very happy with our experience. The food was wonderful -I had the tuna and highly recommend. We split lettuce wraps -delicious and each had the butternut squash soup-also delicious. Our server was excellent despite being the only server in the entire dining room. Our one complaint is the cold breeze that completely took over the dining room anytime someone entered the front door. It seems like an easy fix or at least one that a place of this caliber should address. They had a portable heater at the table closest to the door, not a promising sign! We did notice they turned the heat up but it dampened an other wise lovely meal. But when you’re paying nearly $100 per person that shouldn’t be part of the experience.

Cozy, family-owned and operated gem, featuring delicious food, attentive service, plentiful portions, and very reasonable prices. My Italian grandmother cooked food this way, and I’m back in her kitchen every time I visit Pasta D’Arte.
