Pretty good pasta (above average) compared to restaurants. Only available for take out service was relatively quick. The pasta texture has a nice bite which makes it feel homemade. Tried four of the sauces favorite is definitely the pesto which is on the thick side with almonds sprinkled on top. They are open only during the week days.

A little hidden gem in Downtown,

This place is amazing, it is just for knowledgeable people that understans how to appreciate great italian cuisine.

So do not expect for a fancy, romantic, silverplate place, this is like been in your italian aunt's kitchen and she's cooking only for you, no place to dine in, you are "in the kitchen", watching how the pasta is made for you.

The prices are really low for the quality of food that you get there, ok it is a take out only, but trust me, you will love your meal.

It is hand made pasta made to order, and once you try it is like a burst of flavors and textures in your mouth.

Team is very fast and friendly ready to to take care of you and give you the best they have.

This place is a must, don't miss it!!!

I'm making this review to reach out to whoever owns or runs this place. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PASTA SPOT. Why are you closed every day this week? HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHETHER YOU ARE OPEN OR NOT? DO YOU HAVE A TWITTER?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. BUT I can't stand when it is closed on random days without any notice...

I order from Call Me Pasta more often than my doctor would like… but I have little self-restraint when it comes to pasta this great. I’ve had nearly all sauce options, each consistent with off-the-charts flavor especially for a takeout restaurant! The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and quick. Definitely ask for a side of fresh focaccia, you won’t regret it!

Absolutely loved the experience at Call Me Pasta! Attention was fantastic, and the food was even better! We had the Spaghetti Pomodoro, Gnocchi Ragu, and Cavatelli Vodka. All were truly great tasting and perfectly sized portions.
Pasta was al dente, sauce had great taste (only thing I would've changed is mixing the chicken with the sauce a little bit more)... Really couldn't ask for more.
Definitely wouldn't hesitate coming back if we're in the area and wanting some great home made pasta.
