We’ve been a locals favorite for over 20 years. Serving a variety of pasta and pizza dishes Made from tried and true recipes by the original owners.We also have a full bar available. We are located on the backside of the Johnson building at 925 S. Broadway. We do have handicapped accessibility even though we are located downstairs.

We’ve been to this restaurant many times but was shocked and disappointed at how it has changed. First of all, the prices have jumped up so much higher since our last visit on everything on the menu. I understand that inflation has caused places to up their prices but this was ridiculous, especially when the portion sizes have shrunken so radically. My husband and our friends ordered the regular size cod meal and they brought out two pieces of fish the size of chicken nuggets. The waitress explained the cod was coming in smaller so you would think they would put more pieces on the plate. But she didn’t take the hint we put to her. They had to change their order to “all you can eat” just to get enough. Also the baked potatoes were half the size they used to be.
I had the Japanese pan noodles and it seemed they had been sitting under the warmer too long.
So I can understand raising prices to a reasonable amount, but I call this price gouging considering they also cut the portions. Doing both? Not good.
All in all, we used to love this place but I don’t think we’ll be back unless things improve.

Difficult to find the restaurant in the building but the food was well worth it. The restaurant is on the back side of the building on the southern end. I found a sign saying Lotsa Pasta entrance on the northern end of the buildings backslide and ended up wandering through the building for a while. There are signs throughout the building, but it would be nice if they included arrows pointing the direction you should go. Regardless of the scavenger hunt, the chicken parmesan sandwich was fantastic. The chicken was breaded, seasoned, and cooked perfect. The marinara was really good. I also ordered chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce had a bit of a smokey flavor to it. I ordered cinnamon breadsticks, as well. The cream cheese icing is delicious. Glad I found the place.

I love pasta so I was looking forward to some baked ziti. It looked and tasted like ziti pasta with white tasteless gravy on it. No cheese flavor at all. My friend ordered lasagna and it was just lasagna ingredients put together and heated up. Tasteless and expensive. Very difficult to find the door. Waitress was semi okay and the food was awful. I brought mine home to feed to the roosters. They liked it.

I’m sorry but this place was not good.
First it was kinda weird finding the door. But I’ll get over it because that’s not something they can control. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly.
Secondly, I was having lunch with my family of 5- and in the menu it literally reads you can’t share the Lotsa pasta with anybody. You can share the regular which is half the size, but you cant see the Lotsa. Make that make sense???? I did confirm this with the waitress.
Then we ordered 1 reg spaghetti, 1 regular fettuccine, and one pepperoni pizza. It was not good, not bad, but not good? When our nearly $100 ticket came it was just soooo overpriced and underwhelming.

Used to be delicious, but everything has gone downhill. $40 for a large entree (embarrassing to call it large) and a small kid’s serving. I’ll make the same meal at home for 1/4th of the price and it’ll taste more like real Italian food.

Waitress was really nice. Lots of locals dining in so I probably just chose a bad dish. Had the chicken Marsala and it was terrible, hard chicken and plastic cheese, pasta was over cooked too. Son had butter noodles and it was swimming in so much butter it should have been called soup. Still was a cute place and there were a lot of people here, so I probably just ordered wrong. Really good bread tho!! (They bring it out in the beginning)

A nice evening out. This was my first time dining here and I will say I will return and would recommend it to others!
Atmosphere inside is nice, with an attractive interior. Servers were nice and attentive, answered all our questions about various menu items.
We started with the seafood stuffed mushrooms appetizer. These were very tasty (lol I forgot to take a picture in fact before we got down to the final one!). For entrées I ordered a pizza (created my own). This wood fired traditional pizza was tasty! Crust was a little crispier than I personally like, but overall a nice homemade tasting pizza I would recommend. My husband had traditional spaghetti and meatballs and was very complimentary of it.
Again overall I recommend this establishment as a great choice for an evening out.

Stopped in after a long drive and we’re so glad we did. The food is HOME COOKED and delish! Not used to that in restaurants where we come from. The portions are huge and the service is stellar. Just an all around homey feel.

Had decent ratings is why i stopped. Food was “ok” – shrimp scampi was just in a heavy oil & paired with what seemed like fettuccine alfredo; which i ended up not eating. Mediocre food. Hostess was friendly. And it is a nice, quite, & aesthetically pleasing environment.

The waitress was horrible and hardly came over to the table. I ordered the mushroom ravioli. The ravioli was not cooked, right, and rubbery. My husband ordered the chicken tetrazini, and the ciken in it was brown. The bread that came with the meal didn’t get to the table until we were done with our food. When the food came to the table, it was not even hot. It spent more time under the warmer we will not be back and will not recommend this place to anyone
