To be honest, I didn't know what to expect. I was looking for a place to grab a late lunch and without yelping or googling this place prior, I took a gamble. The chef/ greeter was very friendly, took care of us right away, and the food was amazing. Fresh, delicious, and made with love. The place could use a little touch as far as the interior goes, though, at the same time, it gives it a sort of charm.

Nice local restaurant with a good build-your-own pasta menu and appetizers and paninis as well. It’s also BYOB and located right by a liquor store. Staff is always friendly, and they’ve got a few small rooms, which is nice if you like quiet dining.

Delicious fare, in an intimate setting. Love coming to chato’s, a straightforward Italian restaurant! The antithesis of so many pretentious restaurants popping up in the area. There’s no fusion, just old school, flavorful pasta dishes. Haven’t tried the sandwiches, but if it’s anything like the pasta and specials I’ve had, I’m sure they’re amazing as well. Love it.

My friend and I absolutely loved the food! Our cook/ server was super friendly and quick with our food. The Restaurant itself is a converted apartment and the use of the space was really charming. All-around it was a great experience and we'll definitely be raving to everyone that we know. And of course we'll be returning. Often most likely lol

Super fast service! The staff is very knowledgeable and outgoing. Feels very intimate like you’re eating at home. BYOB and there’s a liquor store next door! The prosciutto appetizer is delicious! First time eating here but will definitely back!

The service is really great. I had a Chicken Alfredo and it was very fresh and savory. Both the server and cook are friendly and jovial. The owner is present, making sure the operation and quality control is in place. Family friendly

Wow what a Disappointment! Wrote a good review back in May felt like owners cared and have ordered carry out multiple times, but today wow what a difference and its a shame we raved about this place. Today my pasta order was screwed up served alfredo sauce instead of vodka which I ordered and was billed. I told the waiter and she was going to remove my shrimp to make up for the big mistake, but was charged and the pre cooked lasagna was cold in the middle needless to say it was a disappointment. I can tell why the place was empty and it would have recieved three stars from past experience, but the 2 tables that where empty stayed dirty with there dishes left on the empty tables unprepared for new customers. Definitely my last visit.

I tried going to this I restaurant two times. Once in person and once over Grubhub. The first time I arrived, they were closed when they said they were open. The second time I ordered through Grubhub and the order was cancelled. I don’t know if they are just not actually open (permanently closed and Google isn’t updated) or if I’m missing something. But I noticed some of their most recent reviews are from several years ago. I was pretty disappointed because I really wanted to try it out.
