    Was a quiet Sunday dinner. The steaks were one of the best we’ve had and I was not expecting it to be as fantastic as it was. Glad that this place is there!

    Service and atmosphere is where this restaurant shines. The food is delicious, however portion sizes are a bit on the small side for the price. You will only get around 5 - 7 normal sized ravioli for around $20. I digress, this is a perfect restaurant for a special occasion. Very much enjoyed our date night.

    The place had a cool vibe, but unfortunately, all the noodles we ordered were overcooked and chewy. It was also strange that all the tables around us had bread, but we didn’t. In the end, it wasn’t worth the price we paid.

    Thanks so much for the comments, we are extremely sorry our server did not explain our noodles are home made and fresh, we don't dry our pasta, please let us know how we can help on your next experience to make sure we recommend the correct items.
