Kristin: Shrimp Scampi
I'll admit, when it came out I realized I hadn't ordered what I thought I had (I'm a budding food lover, the lingo gets a little jumbled), but it was good all the same. Still I believe the best part about this meal was the bottle of wine (I don't remember what it was called, maybe Kate does, but it was a very pretty bottle), and the crazy character of our server (I believe she may have been an owner?) All in all I'd go back, but more for the wine special than anything else.

Kate: Wait a minute! I thought I got the Shrimp Scampi! Is it possible that we got the same thing?
This was not my first Pasta Pasta (or Comensoli's) experience as my mother and father ate here when they moved me into my place. And, both experiences have been pretty good. Though, clearly, I am struggling to remember what I had when. So, I will speak in generalities... The food here is very fresh and well prepared. One of the house salad dressings, I believe it is a Sun-dried Tomato Vinaigrette, is yummy and to top it off, there is feta cheese on their house salads. I am sold! I love me some feta! I like how their menu varies in heaviness. Both times, I was able to order a light pasta dish that was void of heavy sauces. Perfect for my diet. And, Kristin is not kidding when she says that the wine was good. Both times, I have ordered the Piccini "Wicker" Chianti from Tuscany, and it is a nice, hearty red, great for a pasta meal. They also have a 1/2 off wine bottles special on Tuesday nights. A nice way to treat yourself to a nice meal.
Kristin failed to mention that we shared a creme brulee here. I find their creme brulee to be mediocre. Now that I know I can get it several places in town, I probably won't order it from here again. It is served warm, which is not how I prefer it, and the caramelized sugar was not evenly heated and not that great.
But, for another place that is within walking distance of my place. I am in. Good Italian food that I don't have to prepare myself is always nice.
