Fabulous find in a back lane of the city. Beautifully fitted out. We only had pastas and a salad and everything was truly delicious, albeit pastas were a little on the smaller side. Tiramisù was excellent too. Will definitely return! Thank you.

Came for the weeknight pasta special at $15, was charged full price for the two pasta dishes we ordered and two drinks at $100. Messaged them privately post dinner as to not cause a scene in a quiet venue. Turns out there was an off menu special for the pasta that we were never told about, so I guess the website is a bit misleading. Also charged us full price for the aperol spritz which were also on special. Nothing wrong with the food, but would I pay the same price for the quality and portion size - highly unlikely. A bit poor that it wasn’t communicated from the get go, would have made the experience far more enjoyable.

Good ambience and friendly staff/owner. Love all the food especially the Mafaldine Al Cavolo Nero, a very simple pasta dish that suits my liking. Surprisingly the Stracciatella is also nice as a starter. Can’t skip the tiramisu as well, that creaminess and not that sweet flavour.
