    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!

    We go to PastAmore several times a year for excellent itallian food and are never disappointed. Nothing special about the atmosphere but the food is great. During the weekend, parking is at a premium.

    This has been our nth visit to PastAmore. The food is always great and never fails to impress. The only downside is that there is limited parking and PastAmore gets the crowds. Reservations are recommended but you may still wait, depending on the time of day. There is also a lot of take-out traffic.

    Our first time and we had to travel a ways to get there . . . But we’ll be back! Our server, Anna, was absolutely delightful and everything we ordered was top notch.
