“LDR: the good (Fresh pasta, big portions, good pesto sauce, well cooked chicken, lots of options and nice staff) the bad (high prices, slightly watery sauces, boring red sauce, food comes in takeout containers). Overall, food is a 3.5/5, rounding up bc I enjoyed it and think they deserve higher than a 2 star average. okay so background i am really picky and also was so scared to eat here bc of the bad reviews. I think either 1) we got them on a less busy night so our food wasn't rushed 2) there aren't enough reviews to go off of right now or 3) their management took feedback and had corrected issues. Either way, I was pleased with their food and I'd eat here again. I got the chicken pesto pasta and they have 6 different types of pasta you can pick from: macaroni, large elbow noodles, cavatappi, linguine, fettuccine and spaghetti. Not sure where the reviews came from that said "boxed spaghetti" bc this place does fresh pasta... and it's good! The pesto sauce was creamy and delicious. It says on the board that the pesto has dairy in it so not sure why another review complained about it being pesto cream... the chicken was a ~bit~ on the dry side but overall pretty solid, and there was lots of it! The portion sizes are large, which is good bc their food is kinda expensive. But that's now normal for 1) Charlottesville and 2) dairy market specifically. Their staff was super nice and the food comes in a takeout box which I think is convenient so they don't have to do dishes and so you can immediately take home leftovers. The cannoli I had was average and my friend said his chicken parm is good. The red sauce didn't look very fancy, just standard deal there. Service is super quick and the staff are very nice. Overall the sauces could've been a little thicker and more complex, but it comes so hot and fresh that it may need to sit to tighten up some. The pasta was well cooked and the chicken was seasoned and also well done. Prices are a bit high but overall not too bad. I'd eat here again and if you're in the mood for pasta I'd encourage you to try it out!“
“Had a small issue with out first try of the pasta. Contacted them through facebook and they fixed it over night! That paired with the heartfelt apology and note they sent me makes me very happy with this company. I'm glad to try the pasta again and can't wait to keep supporting them.“
