    PastAmore is a gem for anyone who loves Italian cuisine. Their pasta dishes are exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The apple cider sangria is a must-try; it's a delightful twist that perfectly balances sweetness and spice, making it a standout drink. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff that made the entire experience even better. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. Whether you're out for a casual dinner or a special occasion, PastAmore is a place you'll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!

    Went for lunch around 1PM on a Saturday and they gave us (a family with kids!) a nice table by the window. Had meatballs and octopus appetizers and both were good, but octopus was superlative. I had the boar/porcini tagliatelle and wife had gnocchi. Both were excellent. Kids and wife finished with bread pudding and it was delicious as well. I had an espresso martini that was fantastic for my dessert. Not a single complaint with food or atmosphere and service was on point. Only possible issue was it did seem a bit overpriced for some items, but by the time I left full and happy, I didn’t care.

    Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

    The meal was superb, from beginning to end. Best dining out experience in a very long time. I was with a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday. We all had different pasta dishes and each one was terrific. Appetizers and desserts were great too. Excellent service and comfortable ambience and noise level. I look forward to the next time. 👍❣️
