"The food was authentic and delicious, and the service was outstanding. The only downside was the absence of alcohol on the menu. We had to walk a few doors down to a liquor store to buy some wine, but they kindly uncorked it for us without charging a fee. It was a minor inconvenience, but I would typically expect an Italian restaurant to offer wine."

Great service and tasty pasta. Alcohol is not served but you can bring in your own wine. Thank you!

Good ambiance, strong participation in community events. Some of the food was good and some was excellent. May return for a cooking class rather than a meal.

The cooking lab is a great place for groups of friends to make their own pasta. They do not sell alcoholic beverages, but you css as n go next door and buy your own. The owners are very nice.

We had a table of 4 women. After purchasing a bottle of wine next door we had the most delicious dinner. The service was impeccable! All four of us have told our friends about this little gem. Thank you Mattarello!!! View menu

We had not been back since they had moved from their tiny location downtown. So happy to see this great spot. Plenty of room for both dining cooking classes, and on a Sunday evening, it was uncrowded. But we know that won’t last. The food service were excellent. We will be back, both for meals classes.

The pasta was overcooked and the sauce lacked flavor. There was only one server who worked very hard but had too much on their plate. They didn’t have any wine available, and the tea was served from a plastic bottle. I usually rely on OpenTable, and high ratings typically indicate a great restaurant, but that wasn’t the case this time.
