Inpasta - Lemon Grove

This place should not be open at all. TV broken. Exposed wires in bathroom! The place was empty and the bartenders were arguing about duties! One was waving a dirty rag around near my plate! The whole experience was dingy.

Apparently this restaurant is under new management? Ownership? as of mid December. I was really excited to try the menu featured on open table. The restaurant is very cute inside. We were seated right away, as we were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a weird time of day, 3:30. Then we received the menu and it looks like a cheap pizzeria menu and didn't match the vibe of the restaurant. Not the same menu at all. I was panicked, I felt catfished. This menu was very basic looking, but the food came out wasn't. It was absolutely delicious. We had the artichoke appetizer (delicious) and the garlic knots (only disappointment of the meal). The pastas that came out were light on the proteins but my God, were they delicious. Everything is made from scratch and it tastes like it. Our server was very professional and gave us the perfect amount of attention. 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, a kid's pizza, and two desserts was $180. Seemed reasonable in today's times. We will be back!

We went for happy hour. The cocktail was a spicy Italian margarita, which was very weak. The pizza was yummy. The calamari wasn't very flavorful, and the charcuterie had delicious cheese. Excellent prices, attentive server. Would go again.

Not many choices if you are gluten free. I tried the roasted chicken with potatoes. The potatoes were amazing -creamy with sautéd onions. Unfortunately they stole the show from the very dry roasted chicken. The rest of our party had pasta and were very happy with their meal. The pizzas looked amazing, but without a GF option I will never know. If you go there, the pasta and pizza will be the orders to consider.

We had an amazing dinner, I can say that the food is delicious and authentic Italian, I have been to Italy many times and the food here was even better than some places I have visited in Italy, great service and also very welcoming, I will be back soon.
