It was love at first bite. It was beautiful, smelled good, tasted delicious, and was just what I was looking for. I'm talking about the lasagna I got from Pasta Vino in Mineola.
I instantly felt comforted by the mouth-watering menu and the warm atmosphere inside the small restaurant. Being that it was a Friday night, my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised that we were among the few customers in the place at 7pm. We didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
The lasagna reminded me of Christmas day and made me feel like I was eating a home-cooked meal. The creamy sauce is phenomenal and the little meatballs are to die for. I'm literally drooling just thinking about it (don't judge me!).
The dish was baked individually and was the perfect size to clean my plate without having that regrettable gross feeling of being full.
My only complaint was that the bread was kind of stale, which we still ate regardless. I would totally go to this restaurant again and am not surprised to see that Pasta Vino is Zagat-Rated with 87% of reviewers who like the restaurant.
Pasta Vino's major perk is that it has an extensive wine menu that the waiter was happy to translate. There are over 20 wines on the list under $30 and you have the option to order by the glass or by the bottle.
I would definitely recommend checking out this quaint Italian restaurant. I'm excited to try something else besides the lasagna the next time I go to see just how promising this place is.
Pasta Vino is located at 149 Mineola Boulevard in Mineola.
