“Always enjoy the nights we can make it to dinner here. The staff is friendly and as long time patrons, we know many of the staff. Food is always excellent, fresh and hot. This visit nothing caught my interest on the specials so I was able to try a regular menu item I had not tried before. The pork cutlet, very well prepared and and the side of pasta and vegetables never disappoints.“

“My family and I were celebrating my 69th birthday prior to attending the Lesher theater on Friday, December 12th. When I made the reservation, the only option was to sit outside. It was very chilly that night so we opted to eat at the bar instead. Lupita, the hostess, and staff went out of their way to put 2 tables together so we could eat indoors and all at one table.
In addition to the lovely staff, the food was delicious and the wait staff was very attentive. Many thanks to everyone for making my birthday dinner feel special.“

“My husband and I were driving around looking for a place to eat when we saw Pasta Primavera on the side of the road and we are so glad we decided to stop! From the moment we walked in, it felt like fine-dining service in a comfortable, casual atmosphere. Our server was amazing, attentive, and really made the experience feel special.

The food was delicious. I ordered the cheese tortellini with mushrooms, pancetta, and peas. It was creamy, flavorful, and very satisfying. Not the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life, but definitely tasty and well prepared. My husband had the jambalaya, which was served over pasta instead of rice. It was a really unique and unexpected twist blending Italian and Cajun flavors together, and it worked!

The Caesar salad was authentic (none of the overly creamy white dressing you usually see!), and the crème brûlée was the perfect sweet finish to an impromptu dinner out.

Overall, we left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend giving this place a try! 🍝✨“
