"Rome and Garlic Cheesy Bread absolutely tasty! 2nd pickup here and it's my new "go to" for pasta. Chain guys got NOTHING on this deliciousness. And the portion for a "small", easily two meals for a hearty eater like myself, for others it could easily meal prep out to 3 or 4 which makes the Priceline unbeatable. Enjoy!"
"I haven't bought anything from the House of Pasta for awhile. Its been almost a year I think. The last time I ordered the Rome. this time I ordered the Vasto . The Vasto is as good, or better, than the Rome. I like the olive slices and the ground beef better than the meatballs in the Rome. I asked for extra sauce and got it. There was plenty of cheese all over and in this pasta. The noodles were fresh. They weren't mushy and they were cooked al dente. And once again there was enough for at least another meal if not two. I have moved recently. I am in-between two pasta restaurants now. I like both of them. However, I would give the edge to House of Pasta. The orders are larger, they have discounts, and everything arrives hot. The only thing they need to add are napkins. That would be appreciated"

"The round of bread with the spread I'd "eat off of a flip flop" the half and half sauce makes the pasta dishes awesome and I love the gnocchi. It's like anywhere, once you know what you want and how to order, it just punches the spot. Great place."
"Homemade Crab Cakes large portion, delightful flavor. Veal Piccata, flavinfused, veal was cooked to perfection. this was a bit too salty, but I am sensitive to sodium. this was a great entree, vegetables were fresh and cooked wonderful..not mushy. highly recommend this restaurant...always consist."

"The first time around when I ordered this it was missing a few things, and not as good then. Today it wasn't missing anything and man it's pretty decent. Really good for a late night pasta craving since everywhere else closes earlier. Portion is satisfying and will possibly leave you with leftovers. The breadstick is nice and soft, and good size. Flavor overall not too salty but not too bland."
"Orderd the bourbon steak cooked medium with extra mushrooms and an extra side. When it got to my house, the steak was raw. literally wiggling like gelatin and bloody , no extra side (that was paid for), and literally four mushroom slices .so yeah, I won't be ordering from here again. "

"The Steakhouse Salad is the best item on the menu. Their pizzas are great too. I always get my salad with ranch instead of the balsamic and they always read the instructions. Perfect medium rare every time. The onion strings on the salad are sooo good. 10/10 "
"This was my first time trying DJ's and I was not dissaponted. The Fettuccine Alfredo was rich and creamy with a fair portion, and it came with seasoned toasted bread. The Monkey bread dessert was also a hit. It's like having a cinnamon roll meet French toast in bite sized form. It was served with vanilla ice cream, icing, and caramel sauce."

"Chicken and Gyro was amazing! The meats were perfectly grilled and tender. the salad was beyond what I expected. excellent New England Clam Chowder as well. I will definitely try other dishes from this restaurant."
"The fresh grilled fish was delicious, and tasted fresh with that "tastes like chicken" fresh fish taste, not fishy. It was firm and nicely grilled, slightly juicy not dry. It was served with a generous lemon, with flavors that are clean and simple. The veggies were plentiful and nicely grilled, not too raw or overcooked. Vegetables included zucchini, yellow squash, onions, peppers and a couple small tomatoes, they were great. Rice was chicken flavored salty pilaf that tasted packaged not fresh, a fresher brown rice or extra veggie portion would be a nice option, Rice tasted a bit salty but was overall ok and plentiful. I also ordered a cup of lemon soup which was good. It came with a small bit of bread. This was the clean healthy meal I wanted. I enjoyed it and would order again. Next time Id substitute salad or extra veggies for the rice, personal preference. Overall an excellent meal Id order again. "

"Excellent pizza and outstanding service! The service was fast, friendly, and professional from start to finish. I ordered the cheese pizza, and it was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The crust was especially well done perfectly balanced, not too thick and not too thin, with just the right texture and bite. The restaurant is a little tucked away, but it is absolutely worth seeking out. The quality of the food, reasonable pricing, and great service make this a place I would happily recommend. I’ll definitely be back to try some of their specialty Indian-inspired pizzas, as well as their famous garlic bread, which I’ve heard great things about! A fantastic pizza experience all around definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!"

The sandwich was juicy, not dry, another plus, and really good flavor. Give yourself plenty of time for the order though because they are a little slow., but it's worth the wait. definitely coming back."
"I tried the Chicken Pesto sandwich and really enjoyed it! The flavors were delicious, and everything tasted fresh. My only reason for taking off a star is that it was a little pricey for the portion size, which was smaller than I expected. The location is also a bit tucked away in the corner of the Raley’s shopping center, so it’s easy to miss. Overall, though, definitely a tasty sandwich and worth trying!"
