Delicious, fresh, good portions, perfect on a cold day. Tried three kinds of pasta and all of them were incredible.

I eat at this truck every chance I get! I take home 3 orders so I can have it for our family dinner! The food is so delicious! It is a large portion for a reasonable price. The gentleman are so nice and friendly. I wish they had an eat in restaurant with a full menu!!

Best mac n cheese I’ve ever had…hands down. The combo of sausage, sourdough crumbs, and that rich blend of cheeses? Unreal. And the focaccia? Absolute top tier.

Common Pasta is great food, honestly, nothing common about the food here. The Ragu was amazing, I particularly loved the focaccia and I got the cookie too because why not? It was great, heavy on the chocolate chips which I really liked. Service is nice, and fast which is a sweet spot for fresh food. It's right in the square, so you can grab your lunch, people watch, and just have a chill lunch under the trees or on the Capitol Park.

Dreamy! Flavor is almost beyond words. The meat in the Ragu is amazing; tender, flavorful and generous amounts. The Mac-n-Cheese is creamy with a sweet hint. $10 a dish is so reasonable! My new favorite place ❤️ staff is friendly and I love the bucks hat.
