Desperately craving really good Italian food, I tried Pasta Mia West after reading so many wonderful things about this restaurant's food. I could not have been more satisfied with my meal here!
Their basic house salad is very fresh with a dressing that was so garlicky and good I almost wanted to drink it.
I requested the shrimp scampi to be served with angel hair -- it is normally served here with vegetables and penne pasta on the side. The shrimp were large, plump, and succulent, and the sauce was incredible. I overate pretty badly -- it just couldn't be helped -- but ordered their homemade tiramisu for dessert anyway. It was very good; I enjoyed the hint of anise, and loved that it wasn't too sweet.
The service was excellent and I look forward to returning to try many of their other dishes. I don't eat veal, but the way the diner at the next table was gushing about his osso bucco made me wish I could try it.
The only drawback is the restaurant's atmosphere which is very dated and poorly lit. If they were to update the interior -- even with just red and white checked tablecloths and chianti bottle candles, and lose the tv screen -- that outstanding dining experience would be even more wonderful!
