My husband and I came for Valentine’s Day, and we had the best experience! The food was so delicious and our waiter Mo was helpful and kind. We got the family meal which had SO MUCH FOOD, we were so happy to take the rest home. Such a great experience, we will be back.

Great ambiance which brings us to Rome vibe, great menu and interesting food. Salad with fried chicken was so good and perfect choice even for the main course. Steak was decent and dessert was something with warm apple tastes great.

Very nice place. Elegant brown wood finish decor classic look inside to dine. Drink water from a Wine glass place. Haha! Great classic Italian menu items. Had Mushroom Ravioli,Lasagna,Calamari appetizer. Very good recommendation.

PASTA CONNECTION REVIEWS

Delicious! It was truly an amazing experience. The food was delicious with more than generous portions. As we were eating, we remarked the shape of the pasta was homemade...and sure enough, it was! The pasta machine creates new fresh, authentic pasta, and it really is incredible! Staff is very attentive and food came out piping hot. Absolutely an amazing authentic restaurant . highly recommended.

What a fantastic find! The service at Pasta Connection was outstanding, with a warm and welcoming staff who made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. The food was an absolute delight - the spinach ravioli had a perfect balance of flavors, and every bite was a joy. The ambiance was relaxed and family-friendly, making it an excellent spot for a casual night out with loved ones. This place is a real treasure for pizza enthusiasts.

Wow! This place was so delicious! We will definitely come back! I can't wait to try the breakfast next time.

VITALY REVIEWS

Very cute restaurant located at The Camp. Service was great with friendly waitstaff, and the food was yummy. I dined with a friend who is on a strict gluten free diet, and she was happy to find discover that Vitaly had tons of gluten free options on their menu! Looking forward to trying some gelato next time.

Lovely Italian restaurant that has covered outdoor patio seating with a firepit and heaters. Great food, including gluten-free pasta and the delicious pinsa, and several desserts like pastries and gelato. Very nice ambiance! We enjoy coming here.

This is one of the most relaxing spaces I've been for breakfast. Beautiful fountains and greenery all around Excellent food. Fast and friendly service.
