Daniela Pasta and Pastries

Stopped in here for a early Dinner, I think we where the 1st. customers this day, as we were sat by either the manager or the owner, not sure which, but our waitress came sliding in just after we where seated. Ambience was great, they had Christmas light hanging every which way all over the outdoor seating area with so many "cord and plugs" everywhere you looked, I'm surprised the fire chief hasn't shut them down for a fire hazard. But that was part of the charm of the place. Our waitress was Great and the food was Amazing!! We had a Ceasar salad and added the "anchovies$3$ and croutons$4$" extras, not included, but definitely added to the salad. We also got the "Caprese salad" to start off with, both very good and substantial salads. For our entrees, we had the homemade "Gnocchi Di Patata

My gf’s and I strolled in Daniela’s one Sunday funday and I was immediately hooked! I brought a date here another evening bc I couldn’t stop raving about how authentic and mouth watering the dishes are, the way the ambiance transported me to Italy, and how kind and generous the staff is. I’m so thankful for that fateful Sunday bc Daniela’s has become a staple for me in Hampden. The pasta truly is home made and the dishes are made to order. This is Nonna’s restaurant!!! I ordered pacheri ai funghu porchini. The first time I came here was post workout and I wanted extra protein so our server, Osakana, recommended to add a red meat sauce mixed with the white cream sauce. And it was absolutely delicious!! It’s the kind of meal that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and savor every flav

Superb. The pasta was incredible. I had the porcini pasta - it was fantastic. Creamy with a delicious mushroom flavor. My friend had the ravioli in sage butter and loved it. Their pasta is cooked perfectly, and the homemade noodles are so wonderful and slightly el dente. The tiramisu was delicious. You could tell it was homemade. It went perfectly with the rich coffee. Service was wonderful and attentive. Walked by here so many times and really regret not trying it sooner. It was FANTASTIC.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Do not eat here if you have food allergies or celiac disease!! The hostess gave me a piece of regular bread after I had told her 3 times in a row that I have celiac disease and cannot have any gluten or cross contamination, *and* after I asked her to re-confirm that the bread was GF before I ate it because it looked just like the bread that my gluten-eating friend was given. I believed them because they swore up and down that it was GF, but I found out the (very) hard way that it wasn’t. I ate the bread and I was like “wow!! This is the best GF bread EVER!! Can I get another piece?” And then the owner gave me a second piece, which was obviously the *actual* GF one, and looked nothing like the bread I had gotten the first time. I called it to her hus

Quaint local Italian (Sardinian) neighborhood restaurant. Tables were way too short for us, but we squeezed in to enjoy an authentic meal. We ordered a clam pasta, a fruiti di mare pasta, and a lobster mushroom ravioli. It was probably meant for family style eating with multiple courses, but we didn't pick up on that in time and ordered like Americans. We finished with cafe and dessert - panna cotta with a raspberry sauce, tiramisu, and a pastry filled with Nutella and banana.
