I love this place. It's easy to miss it since there's nothing remarkable about it from the exterior, but what it offers inside is exceptional. I've only gone to the take-out part in the back with a separate entrance and have found one man, not the owner but he's always there, to be so kind and helpful each time I visit. He always offers free samples of the sauces (which I always accept) and he just makes me smile. I loooove the arrabiata sauce and aurora. They also have great soups!
But really, for $5 you get a pint of pasta (penne, linguine, gemelli, cavatappi, fusilli or orecchiette) with a sauce (bolognese, pesto, aurora, arrabbiata, toscana, puttanesca, filetto, marinara, ciociara), all of which are homemade on site except the pesto (just not made on site). You can upgrade to a larger size for $6.50 as well. And don't forget to check out the basket of leftover cheese wedges by the register. They're delicious and cheap (my fav is some kind of goat cheese).
Pros: Pasta sauces, cheese, soup
Cons: Ambiance
