This charming little restaurant offers a burst of flavor in a relaxed setting. I visited for dinner on a Wednesday evening; although there were several occupied tables, I was seated right away. I ordered the Bife de Chorizo (NY steak), which was cooked to perfection—well-seasoned and incredibly tender. The fettuccine Alfredo was some of the best pasta I've ever tasted, featuring fresh homemade noodles and a wonderfully creamy buttery sauce. The empanadas were tasty, and the chimichurri sauce was quite good. However, I was a bit let down by the dinner salad; it was just a basic mix of lettuce with a few grape tomatoes. While the creamy Italian dressing was spot on, I would have appreciated a...

I really wanted to love this place but definitely the food disappointed. The pasta was mediocre and the sauces bland. The beef Milanese tasted more like ground beef than a flattened steak. Other than the service not one item was worth while finishing. I thought I would give the crepes with dulce de leche a try. The server highly recommended them. Again that disappointed. They seem microwaved. Chewy and it was more like a pancake than a crepe with very low quality dulce. I rather pay more for quality than waste $100 in a meal neither of us enjoyed. Wouldn’t go back or recommend it.
Recently started going for breakfast. What a pleasant surprise. Prices are great and the food is quality. All the servers are great but Cesar is top notch. Genuine courtesy and friendly service is what makes this one of my favorite breakfast spots. Prices are very reasonable and portions are good too. Causal ambiance and quick service are also on par. I would definitely consider Pasta Connection if your looking for a good assortment of menu items and a causal place to have a meal. Thumbs up!
What’s not to love? The food is incredibly fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is excellent. Both the indoor and outdoor dining areas are beautiful. It’s a great spot for date nights, girls' nights, boys' nights, or family gatherings. I’ve also heard their brunch is worthwhile. My favorites include the ham and cheese empanada and the tortellini in pink sauce. Food rating: 5/5. Book a table now
The food here is consistently fresh and delicious, and the staff is warm, welcoming, kind, and friendly. This restaurant is always my family's top choice when we want to eat out. My personal favorites are the parrillada plates and the chicken milanesa served with fries and a fried egg on top. Overall, I rate the food a perfect 5/5.
Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service, amazing people. I was very surprised when I stopped by for lunch. I thought it was a small average place, but I really really liked it. Very clean, pleasant atmosphere. Smells and tastes great : Thank you guys! Keep it up!Food: 5/5

I was in town on business and in the mood for good Italian food... this place did not disappoint. Fantastic food and I had room for dessert. Best Italian food I've had since being stationed in Italy 30 years ago. I'll definitely come back here on future trips into town.Food: 5/5 Book a table now
First time here. I went to a birthday party on a Saturday that was nice. They had a live band, and the food was good. Italian and Argetinian food. Empanadas! I had the salmon and pasta, which was delish.Vegetarian options: vegetarian option availableParking: Small lot
