| - I love restaurants that make you feel like you've watched a little too much of the Food Network...
The biggest benefit was the fact that there is a portion of your menu where you can choose one of their specialty sauces and pair it with your favorite pasta. So I rooted through my memory of Alton Brown's 'Good Eats' shows trying to remember the uses of each type of pasta...and then remembered I'm not a pasta afficionado.
Prices are a tiny bit higher than say Olive Garden, but if given a choice between the two, I'd come back to La Bona Pasta. Why? Beccause they are

The kitchen is wide open for you so it's not like they could drop a piece of chicken on the floor, or pick an orfice on their body and return to preparing your food. They do everything right there!
Oh, and if one was worried about the fact that the prices are a couple of dollars more than a chain restaurant, one would only have to click on the following link:
http://couponclipper.com/loc/LA-BONA-PASTA
Which offers a 'buy one, get one half off' on lunch or dinner. Fabulous! I couldn't print it so I showed the coupon from my phone and they didn't hesitate to take it! I would recommend printing it though, I think it might be easier for them. It's good until next month but I'll bet they issue out another one when that one's done and you can be sure I'll use it!
Now Foodward! My friend ordered the Carbonara with fettucini, and I got the Sauce a La Bona Pasta with angel hair. We each tried the other's dish. While the Carbonara was well executed (what could you possibly have a complaint about a lovely creamy sauce and PANCETTA??), we both agreed that we liked the signature sauce even better. The Sauce a La Bona -or whatever it was called; who cares about the name it was Yummy!- included a creamy marinara sauce with bits of moist chicken, broccoli, and porcini mushrooms. It was perfect with the angel hair but I could see it with fusili or farfalle as well.
We finished off the night with the tiramisu, which was definitely homemade and definitely one of the best I've had. I didn't like the sauces they put on the plate...I know they did it for decor purposes, but I would have rather had a light dusting of cocoa on the plate, a little whipped cream, with a sprig of mint. It would have complemented the cake much better.
So to sum up this experience, I was more than happy about my meal and am extremely jealous I don't have a place like this closer to my house. So La Bona Pasta, if Litchfield Park's rent is a little too much for you, we would be more than happy to have you move North!!
