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.

    Decided to take my roommate out tonight for a Christmas dinner at Sacred Pepper and we both enjoyed the dinner immensely. I have eaten here many times and never have been disappointed. It's the best place around for the ambiance, the awesome wine/cocktails, delicious food, and for their exceptional service staff. My roommate had the Chicken Burrata dinner and he said the chicken was vey juicy and flavorful. And he loved the warm orzo pasta it came with. I had the seasonal Cod dinner and it is already one of my favorites. And it came with cheesy potatoes and green beans, And their bread is another special treat that you cant help yourself to. My server "Adam" was so friendly, attentive, efficient, and he made sure our Christmas dinner was very special and memorable. My roommate was really impressed and can't wait to try more dinner entrees at Sacred Pepper.

    The Feast of the Seven Fishes was a real delight. Nothing like anything else we've ever even seen. Sword fish and tuna carpaccio! I've never heard of such delights, and the octopus salami was absolutely amazing. All the courses were fantastic. The sauce on the mussels I could drink like soup, and the lobster risotto was so creamy and delicious, topped with a perfectly seared pair of the largest sea scallops I've ever seen. This was the most unique and ambitious take on the Seven Fishes meal I've seen. We had a great recommended wine pairing as well, a white Bordeaux. My sincerest compliments to Chef Chris for putting on such a wonderful event.

    This was our first time here, and it won’t be our last. We were informed it was a new menu starting the night we were there. My wife and I had an excellent time and definitely want to go back since we saw many other things on the menu we want to try. The filet my wife ordered was delicious as was the chicken Marsala. Dessert was excellent as well. Our server Angel was delightful and informative through the whole night. Parking is directly across the street from the restaurant. I would like to check out the rooftop bar as well next time. Grazie mille!
