My wife has raved about this place for a while and finally got to go check it out. Overall, the food was very tasty, service was friendly and fairly quick, and I didn’t leave hungry! Another reviewer complained about portion size, and while it isn’t the biggest plate/box of pasta, the light size filled me up (and I can usually eat a lot). Desserts were tasty.

Portions are incredibly small compared to what you pay. The “hungry” salad is the size of a regular and the pasta meals are the size of maybe an appetizer. The Cesar salad dressing was so thick with the consistency of hummus it was very hard to coat evenly and just clumped. Even then the taste was not very good. The lasagna (not pictured) had no cheese and very little sauce. Very dry and disappointing. The noodle dishes, mozzarella sticks and strawberry cake were good, but as a family of 4 we were left wondering how we got $80 worth of food when we’re still hungry afterwards.

Counter-service Italian food with beer & wine, small market for specialty items, & a nicely focused bakery. After our drinks, pasta(s) & cake for lunch, we bought a cinnamon & pecan biscotti, plus 2 cookies to take home. About $44 before tip.

This little shop has more than meets the eye. For a hot meal, grab and go from the daily specials at the counter. Enjoy authentic Italian, in-house, hand-made hot pastas and soups, salads. Oh, and their pastry case is full of goodies from a classically trained pastry chef! Want to have a delicious Italian meal on days PLF is closed? Grab pastas and sauces from the take-and-bake-at-home cooler cases. Don’t forget to peruse the pantry items with unique Italian brands in this light filled mini-market. We grabbed some chocolates that the PLF founder first tried when she was in Italy and ordered straight from the chocolatier to share with her fellow Missourians. PLF also caters events and can be found popped up on Saturdays at the Columbia Farmer’s Market.

This place is amazing!!! We have been wanting to try it for awhile now and just made it in yesterday. It’s all fresh and delicious!! It is a little on the pricey side but if you consider it’s all hand made, full of flavor, and yummy, it’s totally worth it!! Got so excited to eat our meal we forgot to take pictures so only ended up with pictures of the cookies!!

What a great little Italian shop and bakery. This little delightful shop has everything Italian. I’m from St. Louis and we have the neighborhood, “The Hill” which is known for its Italian shops and this one blows many of them away.

Both pasta dishes and the cannoli were delicious. The cajun pasta was my favorite and I will be ordering again!

Omg we stopped by on the way during a road trip and everything everyone got was SO GOOD. We ordered three different pastas and desserts and all were heaven. Incredible! Best tiramisu I’ve ever had, and I studied in Florence!

The pasta has some interesting flavors and good quality ingredients. The style of the place is a very small specialty grocery. The service at the counter is quick. Prices are high especially since portions are not large. A salad and three small carryout cartons of pasta was over $60. Our family of 4 with 2 small children shared the meal, and we had to supplement the meal with extra from our fridge.
