The service was attentive and the food was delicious. I would have given five stars except for the fact that our very simple straightforward orders of pasta with sauce took an hour to arrive. Also, the sausage addition to one of the dishes was very dry. When we got there, the restaurant was mostly empty but filled up quickly. I suspect that their kitchen was understaffed but given their popularity, there should have been a backup plan. We would have left earlier, allowing others at the door to be seated rather than being turned away. I would certainly dine there again since the food was delicious and ample portions so I took the rest home to finish the next day. It was just unfortunate that their kitchen staff could not keep up with demand on that day.

Service was prompt and friendly. This is not the first time we order Carbonara and they just can't seem to get it done without making it inedibly salty, which is disappointing from a restaurant specializing in Italian pasta. Also, it was cold and drafty inside. At leadt they offered us complimentary dessert.

The food and service were incredible, there’s a wide selection of entrée and salads that makes it hard to choose, but for sure will go back to try something new. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, I loved the fact that they make half portions for kids, my son’s pasta was so good that he could have eaten a whole portion. My only downside was that the spicy items are not marked as spicy on the menu, if you are not familiar with the italian food you’ll be surprised. The seafood tagliatelle was very spicy, to the point that my husband ate less than half of the bowl. We’ll go back for sure, and will make sure to ask all the questions beforehand.

The portions of pasta are generous and the half portion is enough for an adult. Unfortunately though the salads are only only sold as a full portion. The special bread is expensive and rather bland. No air conditioning the hot evening we were there and the TV was playing loudly which contributed to a lot of background noise. Server pleasant

While the terrasse area was nice, the food was actually quite bad; the polpette’s tomato sauce was very acidic, the ravioli were very much undercooked and I suspect frozen, not fresh, with another pasta dish having the pasta very over cooked. Service was extremely slow (1.5 hours) in which the waiter never came back around to even ask if we wanted water refills.

Went with a friend for lunch. There is a lunch special(uncommon these days) We had the crostini with a creamy ricotta, honey and truffle. Yummy and very pretty. We both had Lumarche(a pasta) with a pesto sauce. It could have been a teeny bit hotter but delicious. A canoli for dessert. Service was friendly and professional. There's a cocktail menu and a wine list. Outside seating but no shade and it was a hot day. Inside seating perfectly fine. Go and try it!

My third time at this great restaurant. Service was excellent and attentive as usual. We were celebrating a special occasion which I indicated in the reservation and Kamiah and which “employee 10” -sorry I don’t remember his name) mentioned and congratulated our guests. Pastas we’re fresh, served piping hot. Just great!

Nourriture : Excellente Service : Excellent (Notre serveur était tout simplement parfait!) Seul bémol : le niveau de bruit était simplement intolérable. Déjà, à notre arrivée nous avons trouvé la musique un peu forte. Mais ce qui a tout gâché, c'est l'arrivée d'un groupe dont les membres hurlaient (le mot n'est pas trop fort). Y retournerons-nous? Oui, sur la terrasse ou alors pour aller prendre un repas pour apporter. Vraiment, il faudrait faire quelque chose pour le niveau sonore.

This restaurant was an enjoyable experience for our party of seven birthday celebrants. However the OpenTable app needs work!. Firstly I was told 'no space available' for a party of eight (actually 7) at the time slot of 12.30pm, which I changed to 1.00pm. In either case there was plenty of room available in the restaurant when I arrived at 12.55pm. I don't think that Aqua E Farina would want to be losing customers over this so I suggest that you look into it. Thanks. Nigel M Williams.
