Penne Alla Lucchese

Tube-shaped pasta with chicken in a tomato cream sauce.

“Great late afternoon lunch at this spot. Really great selection of Italian first and second courses. Beautiful appetizers and incredible pasta. I had an amazing ravioli with spinach and ricotta and a super tasty red sauce. Bread served with the waters. Really nice waiters and a really nice vibe in this place. They have wines and beers though I wasn't in the mood for that today and a full selection of coke products. Took my youngest and they made him a great plain cheese pizza, kid style. Will be back the next time I am up. Worth a visit.”

Capellini al pomodoro

$20.00+

Angel hair pasta with tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil.

“An Italian visitor picked this place and it didn't disappoint. She is gluten free and needed a custom order. Brushetta was great! I ordered a second plate because it was so good. I ordered the angel hair pasta and had them add broccoli. Yummie! The hostess asked why my car was running and I said my dog needed the AC on. She said I could bring my dog on the patio. They even brought a bowl of water for him. He approved of the bread. 😀 I will be back with my dog.”

“Amazing food super friendly and good pricing. The pasta is perfect cooked t b e service is fast and friendly you really feel like a valued customer/friend when you walk in even for the first time. When we walked in a couple was leaving and they have been weekly customers for over 20 years and only had great things to say. Big plus my glass never emptied, it is sad this is a thing now but it really is.”

Orecchiette Con Pollo

$25.00

Ear-shaped pasta with chicken, broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and pecorino.

“This is not where you would expect to find a top notch Italian restaurant. But the location makes parking easy and the dining free of traffic noise. There are shaded outdoor tables that should be perfect for a summer evening. The food was excellent on both visits...the pastas generous and al dente and the halibut perfectly done. It is not a typical Italian restaurant in-name-only. There is a real feeling of authenticity to the cooking. Very enjoyable.”

Penne al salmone

Penne pasta with fresh salmon, capers, arugula, tomatoes, and cream sauce.

“We're just stopped by to order take out for the first time. We were meet at the door by Inmer who even though the restaurant wasn't open yet invited us in to look at the menu. We ordered the Penne Al Salmone, Linguine Salmone and Caesar salad. Inmer even gave me a glass of his favorite red wine while I was waiting for the order. The food was great! We'll be back with friends.”
