While you may have to walk here (metered and hard to find parking), Pasta Bowl is worth it, especially if you're starving and on a budget and just need to go out. Although prices have gone up in the last year, you can still spend under $15 on a glass of wine and a ridiculously large serving of pasta, often with enough left over for tomorrow's lunch. I'm a big fan of the "Bona Vita" Primavera: whole wheat spaghetti with a medley of veggies. Cappellini pomodoro and farfelle pollo are also very good.
No reservations and sometimes a wait, but this neighborhood spot is a worthy place to take friends and family, for an evening out with your bf/gf, or for delivery. Seating is limited, so not a good place for large groups (more than 5).
