Came here for pasta mondays. It's a great deal. Kinda of awkward seating but the food was good. You must make a reservation if on a Monday bc it's really busy. They only give 1 piece of bread to share. Big portions. I did not like their dessert options bc it was all cake but plenty to choose from. Salads were very fresh. Will be back on a Monday!

this place gets extremely busy on monday nights because of the weekly pasta deal, so make sure you create a reservation ahead of time! i wouldn't say there's anything particularly special about the food here (don't get me wrong, everything was delicious), but the atmosphere is great. such a wonderful place for a date or family outing.

I had some family in town and was recommended to us to try out Odyssey. We made sure to make a reservation and glad we did. We had a great table on the 2nd floor. I loved the building and the old house feeling. There is no parking lot but plenty of space in the neighborhood with just a short walk. Our waiter was terrific at answering questions and making sure we had everything we needed. The bread at the beginning was terrific and the chicken parm was topped with some of the best sauce I've ever had. Don't sleep on the desserts, that cheesecake is out of this world! My girlfriend and I will definitely be back on a date night soon with just the two of us.

It's located in a quaint victorian house. They have a couple covered heated patios out front. Nostalgic decor. The "lightly fried" calamari were definitely on the darker side but still tender. One of the best garlic breads I've ever had. They use a balsamic reduction with olive oil for dipping. It's a refreshing change from the classic. We got the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce and the carbonara (with added lobster). Both were amazing. Raviolis were nice & full. Service was friendly and timely. The desert tray looked phenomenal. We picked the white chocolate cake and tres leches. The white chocolate was denser than I expected but super luscious.

Went back to try their pesto gnocchi, and the sauce was tasty! The gnocchi itself is standard but the grilled chicken is thin (although still better than the chicken parm cutlet in terms of value). I think my favorites are still the penne rustica (comes with some chicken and sausage already) and the bowtie gorgonzola. I'll probably add sausage next time since the amount of chicken is just not enough in my eyes. I got to taste some of the other dishes that my friends ordered and I stand by penne rustica being the best dish to get if you're unsure about what to get. Fettucine carbonara was more of an alfredo. Penne bolognese, capellini pomodoro, and cavatelli di casa was nothing special. Service was great, similar to my last visit. For a party of 6, we were seated in a small private room upstairs.

Went here this evening for dinner and their 1/2 Price Pasta dishes. I ordered the Gorgonzola Sauce on the Pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese. They also give you a delicious salad and fabulous bread and a Wonderful sauce. The Gorgonzola Sauce was Outstanding, but the pasta needed to cook a little bit longer. I spoke with my waiter regarding this, but he disagreed with me. I would not recommend that pasta again. My waiter was very accommodating. I will be backs.

Old School Italian Restaurant in a beautiful Victorian House on 6th Street. I had heard about this place from foodies so I knew I would be in for a treat. We happened to go on a Monday so we were able to avail their half-off pasta and salad special. Really a great price for huge portions of food. We were running crazy late for our reservation and called and the staff was incredibly nice to accommodate us even though they were so busy. We tried a few pastas. The gnocchi - housemade perfect pillows Capellini Pomodoro - pretty standard with good red sauce Bowtie - pretty standard with good red sauce I am not giving it a 5 only because the amount of garlic on the food overpowers everything. It is the cliche overly-garlic-ed American-Italian joint where I was hoping for more authentic. Incredible staff, beautiful environment and solid pasta.

On Mondays, you can get a salad and pasta for $11.95. I didn't have a reservation and was afraid it would be crowded because of this deal. I called ahead to see what the wait was for walk-in and they asked me how far I was. I told them I was about 2 miles away and they said they would have a table ready within 2 miles. When I arrived, my friend and I were seated right away! The only downside is we had to sit outside on the porch so it was a little cold. They have heat lamps but we weren't sitting directly under or next to it. I was still glad to be seated right away without a reservation though. The staff is really nice here. Our server brought us the salad right away without us having to ask because he knew most people would want it as part of the Monday deal. So it was nice having food right away. They also give you bread right away too. The pasta portion was pretty big. It was enough for me to take home as a second meal but you could also finish it in one sitting if you have a big appetite (after eating the salad and bread). Both the alfredo and marinara pasta were good. I ate here on my birthday so we wanted to try the desert menu. Unfortunately they ran out of the tiramisu. The server was nice enough to bring their dessert platter so we could see what they have. My friend and I couldn't decide between chocolate or caramel sauce for the cheesecake so the server suggested getting both sauces on the side. When they brought out the cheesecake, I was happy to see they included a candle with it since it was my birthday. The staff member who brought it to our table told me, "we want you to enjoy your birthday so we won't sing to you," which I thought was funny. Unfortunately, the cheesecake had strawberry sauce on it even though we asked for chocolate and caramel on the side. Our server noticed the cheesecake was wrong and immediately corrected it. The manager also came out to apologize and comped the cheesecake which I thought was nice. My friend LOVED the caramel sauce with cheesecake. So if you're a fan of caramel, I highly recommend getting the caramel sauce. I am a huge chocolate fan but I think the cheesecake was good enough without any sauce. The cheesecake was a great alternative to tiramisu.
