This is the first restaurant i tried when I moved to Kingston about 5 years ago. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint.
The food is reasonably priced with decent sized portiones. I love to take it home, as well as the option to build your own pasta.
The owner is in house from open till close everyday (that they are open) and greets almost all customers. I have never had a bad meal and feel welcome every-time I enter
This is absolutely one of the best restaurants in...
This is absolutely one of the best restaurants in Kingston. You get homemade pasta and homemade sauce. The menu's you get are takeout menu's so you can take them home with you. They also have baked meals ready for you to pick up after work where you just pop 'em in the oven, you can also do take out. On top of that, you can also buy the ingredients!
It is a real shame that their appearance isn't as inviting as it should be. Most people tend to think this place is not a restaurant, rather just a grocery store. The location is secluded but I wish they'd open one downtown. Seating ... there isn't a lot but I've never really found this to be a problem yet... and parking... as with the seating.. again, never really a problem.
I frequently order the Tour of Italy. I think every time I go, it gets a little bit better. Very very good. I've taken many people to the Pasta Shelf, my ex, coworkers, friends, etc... everyone loved it. From hearing from friends, I can tell you the sandwiches are excellent, the chocolate cake is to die for and the regular pasta dishes are very good. Another lovely bit is the fact that they give you a massive slab of THICK garlic bread to soak up all that leftover sauce.
You will leave, very full.. and your wallet will be happy... To put it in perspective: a tour of italy is: a large plate with: spaghetti and meatballs, cheese cannelloni, chicken parmigiana and that slab of garlic bread.. all for about 13 bucks. And if you go at lunch, you pay a little less but I heard the portions are smaller.
The service.. is good, but not the best. They are warm and helpful. But sometimes they feel a bit distant and uncaring..
There is no excuse why you shouldn't check this place out.
I've been dining here since it opened 10 years ago. Marco, the owner, continues to improve the restaurant and it is clean and comfortable. The pastas are delicious... as a vegetarian I can always find a few vegetarian options to choose from. The salads are fresh and crisp. The garlic bread could be improved as it does tend to be dry. Desserts are fantastic. Not overly expensive for good, freshly-prepared food!
Firstly, this is really a take out place, we pulled up at around 6 and it was dead, so we at first thought it was closed, but they weren't. They have tables, but they close down pretty early as well, so if you are eating a bit later plan to bring it home. I ordered the daily special (Spaghetti /w Chicken Breast) and my brother ordered Lasagna.
The wait wasn't too bad, about 10-15 min, brought the food home, and we were underwhelmed based on the reviews here. The food wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't the best Pasta/Italian I'd ever had. I'll possibly try it again since the prices were fairly reasonable.
