KUDOs. The Fritto Misto was GREAT; I should have ordered two for dinner! The Ziti was good; the Veal and Beans okay; we would not reorder. Despite large crowds, staff puts out meals relatively quickly and with smooth delivery. Although there are challenges, food was delicious; we would return.
CHALLENGEs. Only open 3 days a week for 1700-2030 dinner hours (alas, I would have returned for the Fritto Misto but we left town). Crowded. Noisy; tables with 3-or-more spoke in loud tones to hear each other. Not wheelchair friendly; use a cane for access.
TIP. Restaurant is full within 30 minutes after opening (1730). It stays crowded for at least 1 hr 45 min. Seats become available around 1900.

Service here is excellent. The menu is very complete for such a small restaurant. I like the attention to detail, for instance, fennel pollen on the potatoes. I look forward to coming back and trying some other items on the menu. Unfortunately it’s dry January so we didn’t get to try the cocktails or wine. Next time. a bit pricey

Willie’s Pasta Shop: Worth the Wait!
After years of anticipation, Willie’s Pasta Shop finally opened, and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, offering a perfect fusion of fine gourmet dining and home-cooked Italian cuisine. The Italian Wedding Soup, Tri-Color Salad, Bucatini, and Agnolotti were all excellent, especially the spicy Bucatini and brisket-filled Agnolotti.
The service was exceptional. Our server, Robert, though new, made excellent recommendations that enhanced the experience.
If you love pasta or Italian cuisine, Willie’s Pasta Shop is a must-visit.

Service & food was excellent! Beet salad was very fresh, bread was flavorful, & pastas were done perfectly. The only reason I’m leaving 4 stars is because it is a bit pricey that I’m sad I can’t afford to go more haha. Maybe a happy hour?! Something to think about 😉

Quinn was a fantastic server! She was nice, knowledgeable, and professional. The food was good, some entrees better than others. Drinks were good as well. Overall I think this is a fantastic new spot with the service as a spotlight.

Not particularly impressed with the quality of the food given the price; but this can be said about the majority of restaurants in the area. B+ restaurant, but B-restaurants often do not survive. Despite marketing attempts, and success with other concepts, the owners have missed the mark here in my opinion. They are not currently beating the extant offerings. Hope they can fine-tune, improve their processes, and beat the statistics.

Great food, great cocktails, excellent service. All dishes were excellent. Try the Bison tartare, the Flatbread, hanger steak, any of the salads, angoletti. All dishes are great. Highly recommend.

Diner at Willie’s for the first time – it was fantastic. We sampled 4 pastas they were all delicious. The Tortellini and the Carbonara were my favorites. The appetizers were great. Loved the Flatbread and the Arancini. They have a great wine selection. The Tiramisu was amazing! One of the best meals I have enjoyed in a while. I highly recommend Willie’s!

My husband and I waited for 15 minutes until it opened at 5 pm and the waitress told us that we have to wait for an hour as she had seated multiple people infront of us. Mind you.. there were a lot of empty seats at the bar as well as empty tables by the door. If you are not seating for an hour when we were there before it opened .. how fair is that ? When we tried to call and was told first come and first serve bases.
Will never even try to go here.. went to a different restaurant and had the best service .
