This is an old world family-owned Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is great, with also a small patio for dining on nice days. Somehow they manage to provide very personal & attentive service! The food here is absolutely delicious! I went on a Saturday afternoon with two girlfriends, and we had such a good time! I definitely will go there again and would recommend this place for sure!

We looked for a restaurant that was open and opted for here. Thankfully it was a close walk because street parking can be a challenge. Staff were friendly and prices reasonable. It’s got a cafe feel without expectations of ambiance. Food was okay but does not compare to other Italian restaurants I’ve been to. My chicken piccata was so so, but again, price was reasonable. I’m just not feeling a return trip.

The pasta dishes were so delicious! Garlic bread didn’t offer much flavor. Great service, food came hot and fast.

Food was okay, I could make better pasta myself honestly but still passable. What annoyed me was that they force you to tip (additional 15% in the final check) even though you have to go get the food yourself and order at the cashier desk. Who am I tipping and for what service?

Found my new spot. Only been here twice but once I found my chef from pasta pomodoro I will forever live here in my heart. There are certain dishes from this chef that I’ll keep secret because I want to make sure it’s still available when I come to order. The chef is a true Italian noodle twister. He’s been my go to for years. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu

I actually like this pasta place quite a bit. The portion is filling and you can honestly take it back home for a round two, the lasagna I had was also quite tasty and delicious. The penne Bolognese my gf had was also quite good.

Great little Italian place. The namesake, pasta benne is great! The chicken breast sandwich was a little dry, could use some more sauce. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was cute and homely. Great place for a date night or a group hangout.

If you need to modify your order, don’t come here. I am allergic to black pepper, and ordered the salmon plain with no seasoning. It came out covered in black pepper. I sent it back and they scraped the crust off and gave it back to me. I am insulted.

I have been here twice, once for chicken parm (about 15 bucks) and more recently I have gone for cheese ravioli. I have concluded that the food is really freaking tasty. The portions aren’t massive for the price but, for Berkeley, it is reasonable. The food here is so delicious— I think I’m lactose intolerant but I still eat here because it’s so dang tasty… Also, there is a happy hour special for four types of pasta. The info is listed on their website. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think this information is reflected on their Snackpass menu. If this is the case, please do update it! I do like to order in advance. 🙂
