We have visited the Pasta Luna on Southside several times. Our most recent visit was Saturday, Feb. 24. This visit was a disappointment, while our previous visits had been delightful.

The waiter said there was a new menu--we preferred the old one. We had enjoyed the family-sized dishes, now gone. We ordered a ginger shrimp appetizer--excellent, but for $11.50, we thought 4 shrimp a little sparse. The house salad was acceptable, although a bit more dressing would have helped.

We ordered the shells stuffed with crabmeat, to share. We had asked the waiter if the dish was large enough to share. He told us there would be 6 or 8 large shells. There were 5, much smaller than he had indicated. The sauce completely overwhelmed the taste of the crabmeat.

The service was a bit spotty. We had to request water, and ask for refills. The candle on our table was unlit until we mentioned it.
