La Pastaria

"We hosted a private party with over 60+ guests. The menu options we chose for our guests included rice balls as an appetizer. Each table varied in size and number of adults. We provided the restaurant all details a week prior including the table layout which was requested with the number of adults and kids at each table. The table I personally sat at included 6 adults (includes myself) and 4 kids. We were served 4 rice balls. This happened at several tables and when guests asked for more they were declined. The same thing occurred when the Family style entrées arrived. Speaking for my own table, we were served four pieces of chicken parmigiana for six adults. Other guests shared similar experiences at other tables after hearing following the party. I followed up with the restaurant where I was told each guest was “entitled” to one rice ball and one piece of chicken. Although that still seemed odd to me as its family style and there should be ENOUGH to feed a party, there was still not enough for each adult at each table with what they said. The owner offered a gift certificate in which we declined the offer as we do not plan to return."

"The food is great..the service is very good but think it's cheesy when they charge you extra for every little thing, i.e. instead of red sauce on my side of pasta, I asked for garlic and oil. I think any good restaurant should accommodate and try to please. They said that it would cost an additional $4.95 for the garlic and oil. I also noticed on the menu they charge I believe it was $3.00 extra if you share a plate and of course 3% extra if you use a credit card. This restaurant is a bit pricy to begin with with most entries around "$25 to $29. We had first gone there for lunch and there was only a few tables occupied. We loved the food and the place. This more recent time we went for dinner and it was a full house and extremely noisy.. I'd love to go back and I think different wait staff may not "run up the bill" the way that waiter did with the sauce. I could really love this restaurant because of the food.. We had the grilled vegetable platter, the eggplant Parmesan a salad and the grouper special with the side of pasta with garlic and oil and an espresso. It really is great food."

"We've been here three times for dinner. What's great about this place - plenty of parking, convenient location, patio option in the summer, romantic ambiance, bring your own wine and a service has always been pretty good. The menu has a good selection of Italian dishes but we found that the food was lacking flavour. The only thing we really enjoyed were the salads but the main entrees were not flavorful and at one time my chicken dish was tough and hard to cut. The saving grace was that the server offered to replace the food with the best dish on the menu at no cost. He was right, that was an amazing dish. I was impressed by his commitment to good service. So, I would keep coming back."

"Omg a homerun in Summit !!!!!! This place has real deal Italian food!!! Fish was off the hook. Appetizers, salads and dinner was great Didn't have enough stars for ratings Place is cozy and authentic!!!!! Can't say enough Dessert was the icing on the cake"

"BYOB restaurant with outdoor seating. Traditional Italian food with heavy sauces. The food here tasted great but my chicken was over cooked and stringy. Service was good too."
