Cons:

  • "Vibe is too casual for parts of the menu and price."
  • "It was 35 degrees and the heaters/enclosure were a bit anemic."
  • "Definitely for the family crowd. Be ready to have screaming kids whose parents are content to let them wail and throw tantrums."
  • "The target audience Venn diagram for Pasta Louise and Chuck-E-Cheese is a circle."

Value

Pros:

  • "The portions are a little on the small side but if you get an appetizer and a main entree you’ll be 80ish% full."

  • "The menu is reasonably priced and the wine selections are SOLID!"
  • "Pricing was also a welcome surprise...$64 for 2 appetizers and 2 main dishes."
  • "The price was also reasonable."
  • "Definitely a little spendy but, so dang worth it."
  • "Great service, great food, will definitely be back."

Cons:

  • "Had to order second entrees because portions are tiny. Bill came out to $80. Never again."
  • "$18!!!!! Daylight robbery."
  • "Also, the prices are relatively high for the quantity; you have to pay per ingredient on entre pastas."
  • "You spend more money on the add-ons to make the meal more tolerable."
  • "Hard to get a table and wait on a Friday evening 6pm can be 90 minutes plus."
  • "Sauces are good — but overpriced."
  • "Nothing I've had is that great and the high prices are not justified by the quality."
