I am Holly's husband we went to Pastabilities on Saturday night with our son and his fiancee. Everything we ate was on point! From the appetizers, entrees to desert! We found the service to be excellent, Otis was our waiter and he couldn't have been more friendly or professional. Everything we ordered was freshly made and delicious. We will definitely be back Luigi serves some of the best Italian food I ever ate since my Grandmothers cooking!

The food was okay, I was definitely expecting more, especially since this restaurant aired on diner, drive ins, and dives.. I got the arancini rice balls, but it wasn't heated thoroughly. The cheese inside wasn't fully melted, and the rice was hard. I also got the chicken parm with gnocchi, but the chicken and sauce lacked flavor. The gnocchi was hard and also lacked flavor.. I asked for a hot coffee and the coffee I received was cold.. I will say the homemade banana ice cream was really good, though.

Well deserved 5 stars! The food is amazing. All homemade by Chef Luigi, a CIA trained chef. I had Braciola which was truly the best I ever had with an equally amazing hearty red sauce. An off menu item but I called ahead and Chef was more than willing to accommodate. My wife had a Roasted Pear, Goat Cheese, Mellon and Dandelion Green Dinner Salad which she enjoyed very much. The portions were huge. The ambience pleasantly eclectic with Christmas Classics proving a soft background. Our server Doris was very attentive, funny and pleasantly conversational. conversational More than a dinner, a real experience!! Don't believe the low star reviewers! If you take time to check out their profiles you will find that most are people that seem to enjoy giving all restaurants bad reviews

How? How, is this getting five stars? From the odd entrance that brings you directly into the kitchen, to the crowded dining room, there really is nothing positive to write. Oh wait, the Sinatra is positive. Back to the negatives. The food. I didn't realize Guy Fieri had visited here. If I'd known that, I would have expected what I got. Really bad food. If this food is fresh, it was fresh ten years ago. Now, it's just been frozen and reheated in the oven. I could describe the bitterness of the tomato sauce or the overcooked pasta, but it's not worth it. It's just bad food. Go to Wegmans, grab a take home meal, you will get a better experience.

I visited Luigi Vitrone's Pastabilities last night for the first time with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and all five of us were absolutely in love with this little restaurante, we could not stop singing its praises hours after we left for the evening. You can really feel all the love and care that went into creating everything here, from the unique and cozy atmosphere to the homemade pasta on the menu. LVP does not cut corners with ANYTHING! Luigi himself is very kind and greeted my party at the door, and our waitress for the evening, though I cannot recall her name, was fantastic and really made my group feel welcome, comfortable, and at home. While the restaurant boasts an intimate atmosphere, every aspect of food and drink packs big and impressive flavors, it really is like homecooked Italian food at an elevated level. I cannot recommend LVP's enough, and I will be spreading the word!

Pastabilities quickly won me over with their fun, funky, charming, cozy atmosphere, excellent service and outstanding food. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients, and it definitely shows. Luigi's food tastes like my Grammom made it.

Don't know what the hype is about this place. Food was mediocre. Waitress was a ditz. There is absolutely no ambiance unless you like clutter and dirt. Complete disappointment

Sumer Dyer

The food was excellent, the Waitress was very good as well. The atmosphere reminds me of being In an old closet where you throw a whole bunch of old Hotspot. Was taken back. That you need to make reservation. When the place looks like this. But the food is authentic. Would have been better if I took it to go.
