Food was okay, I could make better pasta myself honestly but still passable. What annoyed me was that they force you to tip (additional 15% in the final check) even though you have to go get the food yourself and order at the cashier desk. Who am I tipping and for what service?

Some flies in the shop. It was quiet (perhaps because it was summer holidays). Pasta nice. But I got a tummy ache half an hour after leaving the restaurant.

Found my new spot. Only been here twice but once I found my chef from pasta pomodoro I will forever live here in my heart. There are certain dishes from this chef that I’ll keep secret because I want to make sure it’s still available when I come to order. The chef is a true Italian noodle twister. He’s been my go to for years. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu

Fettuccini alfredo with chicken and broccoli was delicious. The tortellini was also good. The dust is very friendly, prices reasonable and the portions are good sized. Would recommend!

Great place for a getaway from hustle and bustle. Some prices are good for portions others not so much.

We looked for a restaurant that was open and opted for here. Thankfully it was a close walk because street parking can be a challenge. Staff were friendly and prices reasonable. It's got a cafe feel without expectations of ambiance. Food was okay but does not compare to other Italian restaurants I've been to. My chicken piccata was so so, but again, price was reasonable. I'm just not feeling a return trip.
This is an old world family-owned Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is great, with also a small patio for dining on nice days. Somehow they manage to provide very personal & attentive service! The food here is absolutely delicious! I went on a Saturday afternoon with two girlfriends, and we had such a good time! I definitely will go there again and would recommend this place for sure!

Great little Italian place. The namesake, pasta benne is great! The chicken breast sandwich was a little dry, could use some more sauce. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was cute and homely. Great place for a date night or a group hangout.

If you need to modify your order, don't come here. I am allergic to black pepper, and ordered the salmon plain with no seasoning. It came out covered in black pepper. I sent it back and they scraped the crust off and gave it back to me. I am insulted.
The dishes we ordered were ok, not much flavor. Ingredieynts were fresh And the service was really good.

I have never been to a place that could actually mess up a pasta bolognese, until today. With an extremely watery flavorless sauce you will walk away feeling completely ripped off. Even the garlic bread was terrible, on a weird bread that probably shouldn't be used for this because it's very crumbly, a cheese that no flavor, and barely a hint of garlic which you'll only get every two or three mouthfuls. I regret ever coming to this place.
I'm conflicted. I was here before and the food was fantastic. About two weeks ago we went back and the bisque sauce was watery at best. It was not worth the time and effort it took to find a parking spot, nevermind the money it cost.
