| - Growing up in Parma, we frequented Stancato's often. Most of the time eating from the buffet, which from my memory was pretty good. It's been some time since I've been here and we are considering them for our off site catering needs for our upcoming wedding so thought it would be a good idea to check things out. We went on a Tuesday night and decided to sit in the lounge. The bar was completely crowded, which from our perception seemed like a very local group, it reminded us of the feeling we have at our go to spot, so we felt comfortable right away. We sat at a high top table in the lounge and immediately were greeted by our waiter, Ben! Let me just say, even if the food was terrible, he made the experience five stars! The food was very tasty though! We ordered very small, just a bowl of cavatelli with a meatball, again we were just trying to get an idea of their cooking. Ben brought us out hot garlic rolls which were delicious and even replenished them once we devoured them. The pasta was cooked well, the sauce was up to par to me, an Italian girl who can cook a good sauce and the meatball was okay. Throughout the whole small meal, we had a few drinks and Ben never had us waiting or wondering where he was. He was on point, polite and just all around one of the best servers we've ever come across. We spoke briefly to him about our wedding and he surprised us with a bowl of Spumoni to finish our meal. It was chocolate, cherry and pistachio and they were fabulous! We will absolutely return, one for the top notch service and two to give some other dishes a try!
