WHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW
I have only eaten Italian better than this at only one other restaurant and it's no longer open - The salads were cool fresh and crisp and the house dressing was an amazing vinaigrette that was light and tangy. The garlic bread was one toasted thick slice of Italian bread. I had cheese tortellini topped with marina and tomatoes, boy had spaghetti with marinara {and it came out as linguini and not spaghetti which he thought was very cool and is certainly easier for beginning fork twirlers} trucker had chicken and mushrooms with penne and they just toss it all together with their garlic butter and it needs no sauce. Everything was perfectly seasoned and spiced. And we had the rare happiness of encountering an Italian restaurant that cooks pasta al dente rather than into the smooshable goo most American mouths somehow seem to prefer{eeeeeeeeeewwwww}.
You walk in order your food at the counter and they bring it to you
Lunch special includes salad, bread and generous choice of entree for $5.85
They make all their sauces, sald dressing and garlic butter from scratch every day. They do not make your food until it is ordered so everything arrives at the table hot and fresh.
Decor is very light and airy. Tables are simple but comfortable.
I thank the Cracker Barrel across the street for having a 30+ min wait for a table otherwise I'd have never encountered Pasta Jack's and that would be a travesty. Â This is something I'd almost drive to Arkansas for with no other reason.
