We bought La Casa della Pasta in 2017 and moved from our home in the Langhe in Piedmont, located in the northwest of Italy to the sunshine state. We have always been passionate about food and wine and would like to share the authentic Italian cuisine we know and love with you! While our time at La Casa della Pasta is just beginning, we have spent many years in the restaurant industry and are eager to share our delicious food with you! We hope to see you soon, Mara and Franco.

    Drew was our waiter, fantastic service! Lisa came to the table to make sure we were happy, and Vincent and others came by to offer service if we needed it. This was a wonderful evening to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Sea bass was so flavorful, perfectly prepared. I usually dony like the skin of a fish dish, but the flavor was so delcious, slightly grilled and perfectly seasoned, so I didn't discriminate. The broccolini was delicious with truffle oil and salt and pepper seasonings. My friend loved her Chicken Marsala, and my dad really enjoyed his pork chops. We all went crazy over Caeser salads and especially the Arencini appetizer. The bread is so flavorful and fresh. Outstanding attention to an excellent customer experience. We truly felt like VIPs. Amazing! Thank you so much!

    For tonight's dinner I started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower (fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers) and it was fantastic. For my dinner I had the Pan Seared Grouper Picatta with capers, lemon butter, warm house-made orzo pasta, grilled asparagus and it was delicious/flavorful and one of my favorites. My regular server "Adam" was exceptional, as always, and he is consistently friendly, attentive, patient, accommodating, efficient, and he has made so many wonderful recommendations to me that have all awakened my taste buds. Sacred Pepper is an excellent choice for the ambiance, awesome wine/drink selections, amazing and delicious food selections, soothing after dinner drinks, and mouthwatering desserts. And the service staff are all so friendly and welcoming. it's a "WIN" for me every single time I eat there!
