Pasta Fresca

User Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

The food is very good and actually a bit of a bargain. I had the pasta with artichokes. The sauce was very flavorful and the pasta was obviously fresh and cooked perfectly. Both of these are things that are very hard to come by in Columbia (I think most places around here would consider a can of spaghettio's authentic italian cuisine). One problem I had was that the artichokes were not cooked properly. In a dish like that you really need to saute the artichokes a bit to get some color on them. These came straight out of the marinade and into the sauce. Also some of the artichokes still had the woody outer leaves on them making the dish diffult to eat. Overall, with some better execution this dish could have been something special.
Also the waitress did neglect to offer us the wine list. But I come to expect that sort of sloppy service in this town.
I will definately go back.

Food is assuredly this best Italian in the Columbia area, but the exterior is off-putting. Ignore that and eat here anyway.

great food, great service too: They make all fresh pasta and it makes a huge difference. I love the Loaded Spaghetti... that's almost always what I get. It is a small place, but I've never waited too long for a seat or felt too crowded.
