Endless Pastabilities Await – Dive Into Deliciousness!

Ginny Kitner

Amazing meal today at PENNE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS. The owner Geoffrey greeted us with joy. He helped us navigate the menu with such CLEVER names—like the restaurant name. I don’t have a picture because I ate EVERY DELICIOUS BITE! The blackened grilled chicken caesar (UNTO CAESAR) was incredible. House made dressing and house made croutons PERFECTO!!! The veggie pasta (PESTO BOTH WORLDS) was fresh and flavor was right on!! Portions are plentiful. Thanks to this husband and wife team!! We’ll be back.

I had their food on their food truck and everything was fresh and delicious! I love that their fries have garlic, but not so much that I have to use a mint for the rest of the afternoon. We tried their Mac Daddy, which was a surprise when we ate it because it was so good but it wasn't greasy or super heavy, just light and cheesy. I love the original sauces that they use and especially the sauce for the Undercover Spice dish which was just enough spice for me to enjoy without any discomfort! The staff was very friendly and generous with their recommendations and service. Highly recommend!
