Last night I went to South Norwalk’s Pasta Nostra and had a wonderful meal. Everything on the menu is fresh and homemade. I had the stuffed peppers to start which is the Pasta Nostra signature appetizer. For my main dish I had the delicious spiral sausage with a side of fresh linguini which had the nicest tomato sauce that was not heavy at all. The fresh linguini melts in your mouth and the spiral sausage has the just the right amount of flavor. I wouldn’t change a thing. The dessert was a delicious coconut slice of cake/pie goo that was like eating a mounds bar, but only better. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the bread was outstanding. I couldn’t help but dip the delicious bread in the olive oil. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. My server, Jose, has been with the restaurant for almost 19 years. Owner and Chef Joe Bruno makes sure to come to everyone’s table to chat. Bruno is friendly, funny and full of great stories. Pasta Nostra is a bit pricey, but worth it.
