Etto Pasta Bar

“The chef cooked my Cacio e Pepe a little dry, as I requested - nicely done! I like to taste the mix of pepper and pecorino cheese with the pasta - he did it perfectly. I also had a cup of Italian Onion Soup, and my wife had a salad as well as the Polpette (Meatballs) appetizer - all good stuff! The ice water was not good - tasted metallic. Staff seemed preoccupied in getting ready for dinner...”

“The food was mouthwatering! My favorite meal is the roasted chicken with a dish of any pasta. The service was outstanding. My 4/5 stars for ambiance was due to paying first before sitting down since there isn’t a relaxing time to make ordering decisions. Also they’re not open for dinner on Tues.Wed. so plan for that. Lunch is daily.”

“This was a treat. Heading home from the coast. Decided to stop in for late lunch. Freshly made advertised. Let's see. Yes, it was. I had the Alla Gricia (Mezzi Rigatoni) Guanciale (Cured Pork Cheek). Some people reported the dish to salty, I felt it was just right, after all it is cured meat. Not sure how much Guanciale was going to served, their was a right balance. I shouldn't have orded the sausage on the side. But no regrets that by itself was another treat. Wouldn't recommend ordering so much, I happily stuffed. This is "fast-casual dinning" (order first and seat). Staff service was very welcome and was a complement to our dinning experience. What I like the best is the open kitchen. You'll see how your food is being prepared. With the love or if it came from "Hell's Kitchen." Well done Etto, we'll be back. Clean dinning room, restrooms and free parking.”

“Outstanding pasta! The quality of the noodles is excellent and love that they have a shop next door that sells their pasta during the day. A good vibe here and recommend making reservations. The sauce is really good too and makes the dish just like what could get a in Italy itself. I also really appreciated the Caesar Salad that had wonderful crispy capers that added a great saltiness and texture and the anchovies that were exquisite and a treat as well. One of the best Caesar Salads that I’ve had! The Eggplant Parmesan was good but a bit too decadent with a lot of cheese — while it was good, definitely heavy and wished for a bit more balance with the eggplant. Overall, great place in Tin City and would go back!”

“The cashier was friendly and helpful. The food came out super fast. But the food was just kinda bad. The red wine was served a bit too cold. The attached picture is how how I left my plate. I usually love pesto. I could have ate it, but I'd much rather invest the decadent calories in something that actually brought me joy.”
