Good very good and open to additions and changes. First true anti pasta I have had in ages. Nice rustic ambiance but lighting poor and somewhat glaring. Prices higher than on Open Table menu but not overpriced. Need to update the posted prices. Looking forward to going back and trying other dishes. Large variety.
