Saw the All Funkd Up band and they were great! The HI needs to advertise more when they have a great band like AFU!!! Could have jammed the place if they advertised! Matre d John is always great. Service was top notch! Always enjoy the Casa Mia at Hawthorne Inn! Thanks for a great dining experience!

The hostess went out of her way to hold the door open for the two people with disabilities I accompanied as we entered and exited. The seating was comfortable. The service and food were excellent. I tried one of the specials and did not regret it. We had seasonal mocktails that did not disappoint. The music was a little loud for lunchtime. The entire experience was pleasant, and we will definitely go again.

A Wonderful Surprise and an Exceptional Dining Experience! Since Pastaio had only opened a couple of months ago, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but my partner and I were absolutely delighted with our experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was fabulous. The drinks were excellent, our waiter was attentive and welcoming, and the ambiance was beautiful and inviting. I ordered the scallops with mushroom risotto, which was delicious, while my partner had the veal ossobuco with cheesy polenta, and it was fantastic! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. For such a new restaurant, Pastaio is off to an incredible start! We had a wonderful evening and truly enjoyed every aspect of our dinner. We will definitely be back and highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. A fantastic addition to the dining scene!
