Pasta Primavera

From the street, the whitewashed storefront of Pasta Primavera Cafe and Bakery is reminiscent of a small Italian Trattoria. The impression is reinforced by the wonderful aroma of garlic, a smell that gently pries you loose from your everyday cares and prepares you to relax and enjoy yourself. The restaurant's interior features a deli case filled with lovely cakes and pastries, as well as pastel Italian gelatos. Why not start with dessert? Other superb selections include rich Tiramisu, fresh fruit-topped custard cream tarts, and dark chocolate walnut brownies that are the perfect size and shape for a scoop of creamy gelato. The dining room features diamond-lined granite topped set tables, which are reflected in a mirror-lined wall flanked by Corinthian columns. The atmosphere is quaint, airy, and welcoming, just like a true Trattoria. The white walls are hung with original oil paintings of Italian street scenes. Baskets filled with loaves of bread, olive oil, and vegetables, along with shelves lined with ingredients for the restaurant's sauces—Alfredo, Marinara, Puttanesca and White Clam—hold a promise of what's to come.
