This Italian Mom. & Pop restaurant has become our "go-to" restaurant for that special WOW meal. Part of me wants to be silent and keep this gem for ourselves and part of me wants everyone on the West side of the Valley to know about this place. Every entree is cooked to order by the chef and the "kitchen" is visible to the diners. Why would anyone go to any if those cardboard Italian places when La Buona Pasta is nearby. Fresh HOT bread is delicious and the clam chowder is startlingly good. The risotto entree will make you swoon and the pasta with sausage featured fresh Roma tomatoes and fresh basil. Do yourself and your mouth a favor! You'll be back, I promise!
