Quaint, clean, comfortable, personal and GREAT Italian food! For starters we had a House Salad that was delicious and big enough to share. Could have stopped right there it was so good. Very light balsamic vinagrette that didnt overpower. We then had the Grilled Pesto Chicken and the House Pasta along with a side of Asparagus Au Gratin. (Will make... More

Small but comfortable atmosphere. Nice selection on the menu. I had the pesto chicken, which was great (large portion; enough to split or take back if you have a frig). This is right by the airport, so a good place to fill up before jumping in the red eye home.

Not a lot of healthy options available, but it was yummy. I had a pesto dish and they put macadamia nuts in their pesto! YUM!!! It was pretty typical Italian fare, but is was a pleasant venue and we enjoyed the food.

We came here despite reading some less than flattering reviews, but we thought it'd be quick and easy. Our food was fine, but nothing fancy. The service was good, we had a very nice waitress, and it seemed like the place was pretty busy for a weeknight. No regrets about coming here!

As usual, Kauai Pasta was fabulous. Try the Greek pasta for a treat. Arugula salad is wonderful too. Only drawback was the gnocchi special: overpriced and only ok.

I have visited many different Italian restaurants across the country, and this is one of the best! Pesto grilled chicken was great. As we were finishing dinner we overheard the people sitting around us raving about their meals as well. Excellent Italian food!

Braised Short ribs...with a parmesian polenta and green beans! It was like Osso Bucco, but beef. I wanted to lick the plate it was so good. My wife had the pesto, managed to make it last two meals, but insisted on being sure she got every last drop of the pesto sauce. My only complaint - there were no table... More

Their chicken parmesan is amazing. Their dinner specials never disappoint. Service can be slow during the dinner rush, so do your best to avoid it or be patient.
