We have lived in Strongsville for over 10 years and this was our 1st time coming to DC Pasta...where have we been? This is a hidden gem in a shopping center. The food is excellent as was the service. DC Pasta is better than many of the places downtown. Go enjoy!

We drove 45 minutes to go to DC Pasta and it is worth the drive. The food was fresh and tasty. We had three appetizers, I recommend the polenta, and shared two dinners. We took home enough for two more meals. There are two sizes of pasta to choose from, and other items if you are craving fish or meat.

Food was good but picata was not up to snuff. Prior to this order we had marked Bucci's chicken picata the best. My bolognese twisted pasta was excellent as was the lamb meatball. Salads were excellent--all four of us agreed. Lauren our waitress was not as attentive as she could have been. Service was--we all agreed-in need of improvement.

My husband and I went to DC Pasta for the first time on our Anniversary. It was a weekday night so the restaurant was not overcrowded or noisy. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. The wait staff was helpful and friendly. The food was delicious! The salad was crisp and interesting and my eggplant parmesan tasted like eggplant; not just breading. My husband enjoyed the pasta with meat sauce. The bread was homemade and we liked that too. We were treated with a complimentary limoncello after dinner which was also made right there at the restaurant. We are so glad to have found this restaurant which is so close to our home!

Service was mediocre, had to wait to be checked on and ask for bread. Pasta was good, the calamari was bad, way over cooked

Food is fresh and tasty, as always. However, the pasta special had a cheese sauce, which was good, but so very rich that I could not eat the whole meal. My wife's grilled chicken was disappointingly dry, seemingly overcooked. That was unusual for DC, where meals are pretty much spot on. Not our best experience here, but we will return. Terry is an excellent server, pleasant, efficient and always ready to make things right.

The food was absolutely embarrassing to Dante. And I love Dante’s restaurant. I don’t understand how he has anything to do with this restaurant.
