From Scratch is a restaurant that specializes in fresh, homemade Italian pasta. The menu is limited, but each dish is made with care and attention to detail. The pasta is authentic and delicious, with each bite tasting like it was made with love. This small restaurant has a few tables, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere. It is a BYOB establishment, which adds to its charm.
The food at From Scratch is a little on the pricier side, but the quality and execution of each dish make it worth it. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts receive high praise. The Burrata appetizer is rich and creamy, with crunchy croutons providing a delightful texture. The Porcini Mushroom Raviolis are decadent, while the handmade raviolis burst with a silky ricotta filling. The Spicy Pasta and Carbonara entrees are both light and full of flavor, with the lamb being perfectly cooked and tender. The scallops are seared to golden perfection and served with caviar and purple mashed potatoes, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The Nutella pie is a must-try for dessert, as it melts in the mouth and offers the essence of hazelnut and chocolate with a crispy crunch on top.
While From Scratch is not particularly kid-friendly, it is a great place for a date night or special occasion. Parking is plentiful, with a direct entrance to the restaurant from the parking garage. The service at From Scratch is attentive and friendly, with the staff knowledgeable about the menu and happy to answer any questions. Overall, From Scratch is a wonderful restaurant that celebrates craft and community, making it a dining experience worth a visit.
