    Always a good experience at La Pastaia. We come here on a regular basis and take all our friends that have never been here. Everyone that we've taken enjoy the experience. Service: The service is welcoming, energetic and fun. Love the Italian authenticity of the service. Tatiana is our favorite server. Atmosphere: Open concept and lots of seating inside and outside. I am surprised about the change in seating decor. Really loved the original chairs, booth cover, design and motif...it was swankier, but can understand that toning it down makes it more relaxed for all crowds and families. And I'm sure there are a fair share of customers that get pizza and pasta sauce on the beautiful decor. Food: Is always solid. The calamari are nice and tender and not too breaded. Oysters were medium sized and good...firm. Artichokes are always good, and I like you serve them as not many restaurants offer them. Meatballs are good but smaller than we used to remember them. The Bolognese seemed different than what we've had in the past. The carbonara was tasty. We missed the basil and tomatoes on the margarita pizza. And the sausage and potato pizza was different. The crust of the pizza is great. The other great thing about this restaurant is that they serve Italian wines. One of our favorites is the Super Tuscan (the more expensive one), and we just tried the Valpolicella, which we will have again. Overall: We keep coming back, so that says something special about this place especially with all the choices in SD. Grazi La Pastaia...keep up the quality and excellent service!
