Take out only. This is one incredible place! Seems like a single chef owner operation hustle, order online or in-store on a screen, decent selection but little for gluten or dairy free. We seven people got plenty to satisfy for lunch. Not fast, I bounced off to grab coffee a block down during the wait and still got half way thru my slow dipper before the cute little bowls showed up. The chef was lovely! Major skills combining wagyu, Italian, and rich sauces, this is an easy score for the top area restaurants. We all loved the food!

This might have been the best pasta I have ever tried in my life. 10 Stars.

Cool place. It’s not a new genre of Italian Japanese food but hard to find. It’s a nice experience if you don’t like to interact too much with anyone and have a reasonably priced meal.

So good!

Ordered the red, brown, and Alfredo pasta dishes. Noodles were great, sauce was better, meatballs the best. Portions were a good size so none of that, “I spent all this money and I’m still hungry”.

Service was beyond polite. It’s a great place to come get fed and be treated with kindness.

The rich brown sauce with wagyu meatballs is perfect! I'm so happy this little gem is on my way home from work. I will definitely be coming back for delicious take-out and support this new small business. Sarah is a sweetheart and welcomed me in right away 💕

This was my favorite meal of my trip, maybe my favorite this whole year. I wasn't sure about the Italian and Japanese fusion idea, but the meatballs, sauce/soup, and noodles were all tasty. Super glad I decided to stop in.

Delicious food

Fire, first time trying it and its so good

Cozy hole in the wall spot serving delicious, unique Japanese-fusion pasta dishes. The consistency felt like “pasta meets ramen” with a thinner sauce than a traditional Italian- it was incredibly flavorful. The meatballs were also perfectly cooked to a medium rare finish. The owner was so sweet and the dining area was a small, circular, shared table which felt extra comforting on a cold day. We will definitely be coming back!

Really cute new hole in the wall place in Porto! The owners were super sweet and attentive. I got the brown wagyu penne and it was such a unique flavor! Super tasty, meat was very high quality. Will definitely be back to try some of the new flavors.

My husband and I felt like we were back in Japan when we stepped into this gem of a find. Sara, the owner, was so sweet and friendly. We had the waygu meatball pasta with umami sauce. The meatballs were delicious and the sauce was very flavorful. We will definitely be back and will try other things on the menu (or repeat)! The space is small, so take out might be a good option. Street parking is tricky, but there’s a public parking structure right across the street.
