Waitress was super nice very attentive. Ordered a couple pasta dishes portions were big taste phenomenal! The cheesy bread was so cheesy and delicious. Meatballs are so good as well. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for awesome pasta! Will definitely be back.

I ordered the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce. It was decent, but was a bit too salty for my liking.

I love it here! They have the best fettuccini Alfredo! I love ordering it with chicken! The food is always pleasing and is comforting. The prices were just like the ones at Olive Garden but the food was much better. Much appetizing! I will gladly come back! And recommend you do so! I’m picky with food so me actually enjoying it was surprising to me, but I love me some pasta! There’s also a tiny like museum I enjoy watching while going here, when you go to the bathroom you can see old pictures they used to put on the wall and a door they used to use and some old lettering sign. That says (states) “Pasta Al Gusto”. I might admit I don’t like the new photos or the fact that they are trying to sell burgers now but I love everything else otherwise :)

We absolutely love this place. In fact, I’m getting ready to go there now. For the ones who are leaving a bad review, good, that leaves more seats open.

Been here twice and I don’t know if I missed something that everyone else experienced, but this place is average at best. Everything is made with boxed pasta and all of our dishes were way over salted. The prices are good, but you can probably make better pasta at home for a few bucks. There are sooooo many great places to eat on Southport, I would recommend you skip this one.

Absolutely delicious food. Friendly people. Ordered for pickup roundabouts close and was not disappointed with my pasta nor my cranberry goat cheese salad. The raspberry vinaigrette was so tasty I poured the entire container into the bowl! I will definitely be dining here again and this time I’ll come in and sit down ☺️👌

Very good Italian restaurant. Been here 6 or 7 times. Never disappointed. Prices are reasonable. And it's BYOB which I prefer. Simple atmosphere and Simply good food 👌.

This is a great neighborhood pasta place for a simple but delicious italian meal. The super casual atmosphere will make you feel at home. This place is right between the Mercury Theater and the Music Box Theater, so it's a great place for a quick bite before a movie or a show. But, don't expect anything fancy!
