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! 🍝✨

Absolutely amazing food. We went in on a Saturday night around 7pm. We did not wait to be seated at all. We ordered the calamari which was so good, probably one of the best i have had in an extremely long time. The Chicken Pesto Gorganzola was delicious as well as the seafood Primavera. They also served fresh bread. Great atmosphere and staff. Quick and tentative. The prices were very reasonable for how good the food was and great sized portions.

Food was underwhelming and though we had poor service from our waitress there were others bussing tables, filling drinks and being helpful.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant! My husband and I went in for lunch today and had the most enjoyable time. When we walked in we were greeted right away and got sat instantaneously. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. We ordered the garlic bread and steamed clams to start. The garlic bread was made to order in their pizza oven and the clams were delicious and packed with fresh herbs. For our mains, my husband got the beef ravioli and I got the pasta carbonara, both were exquisite. When our minds came out, our server brought out fresh bread rolls and butter to accompany our meal. Everything was perfect! This is a must try for Italian in there area.

Eva our server was terrible, she was rude, never gave bread, didn't come back to refill drinks, barely talked and looked bothered to even be working.

Food was excellent but they appear to be understaffed. We were seated at 6 for our 6 o'clock reservation and didn't see a server for 15 minutes and had to wave over the busses to even get water. The server was good, but definitely stretched and stressed.

Great little restaurant. I've eaten lunch here 3 times, never disappointed. Large portions of flavorful food, great bread, large pizza oven and amazing pasta dishes. Like home-cooked. The beef ravioli bolognese is so tasy, hearty, mildly spicy. Parking isn't the greatest - a few spaces off street out front, so side streets or N Main may work at busy times. Italian music on the PA system.

Be very careful here, I have been coming here for years after looking over our bill that always seems to be very high we looked at several and found we were being overcharged. I also tipped in cash when I called this to the owners attention he was only willing to give me a very small portion of my money back. We will never go here again

A staple in the community for over 40 years, they did not disappoint. The staff is attentive and friendly. The owner always seems to be on site. He used to cook there and now he just oversees a great restaurant.
