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.

Food was very mediocre. Most appalling was that the waiter wrote in his own tip on both copies of the receipt (didn’t get a photo of the copies but here is a pic of the total receipt). Extremely unprofessional and I will be sure to warn everyone to never come back. Cannot believe they had the audacity to do this and only leads me to believe that many people under tip because service here is so terrible

I just want to share the most unprofessional experience I had today. We forgot our leftovers at the restaurant at 8 pm and when we called at 830pm to claim our food, a waitress named Sherry told us, ” not our problem ” and hung up. I called back to speak to the assistant manager who transferred me back to Sherry. She told me I was unreasonable, raised her voice at me then disconnected the call. I have never had such a horrible unprofessional experience in my life. The food was average but after such a horrible, undignified exchange, I would not go there. One would expect some degree of customer service after spending almost $200 there. I would strongly suggest Pastaria to let go of such a personnel before she ruins their business. I will never go back because of SHERRY! Who needs abuse when trying to have a relaxing evening out.

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.

It’s been a reliable place for me for decades. Always great service and a plethora of menu choices to make any food taste satiated. Sitting outside on a nice evening there in the lovely town of Summit is never a bad look. Everyone I went with enjoyed everything they ordered from appetizers to entrees. I had the mussels and shrimp oreganta which were splendid. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures to share but I highly recommend this place…

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.
