Have heard some raves about this little Pasta and Panino place. Final was able to give it a try. The raves were correct. A great little family style Italian restaurant that is not expensive with good food.
A small menu but a half dozen specials on a little chalk board, that the Chef moved so we could read the specials. Later the waitress, who was great, moved it so others could read it. Some regulars came in and everyone got hugs!
Was really thinking about the stuffed banana peppers or the lasagna, that our waitress said is one or her favorites. Order a special of the day of linguine con shrimp in red sauce. The red sauce was very good, nice flavors, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Was told the meat balls were good, but did not get a chance to taste because they disappeared so fast.
During our meal, the Chef came over to check on us and see how the meal was. Later he came back just to chat for a minute or so.
Noticed on the menu there are few things in larger quantities to take home including red sauce and beans & greens, Next time I'm making spaghetti, I may just buy Mateo's sauce instead of making my own.
BYOB.
