low key spot for a cute date. Might be a wait but it’s worth it. The meatballs were a 8.7/10 but the spaghetti sauce made up for it.

Food: The pasta was fantastic! Tasted fresh and we enjoyed the mushrooms. The appetizers were just okay in my opinion- the grilled halloumi was not crisp and didn't taste fresh off the grill. If I were to go back, I would probably just stick to the pastas.
Service: waiting in line for a bit was understandable, but I agree with other reviewers that they felt understaffed. They didn't really check in on us after seating us, and they timed all the dishes to come out at the same time, which was difficult due to the small table (not everything fit easily on the table). They also charge a 4% fee to provide better wages and/or healthcare to the staff. However, all of the staff was courteous and friendly.
Atmosphere: we ate outside in their parklet, which was nice, although I wish their heaters were a bit stronger. The tables were very close together as well. I felt like I was a part of the conversations on either side of me because they were so close.

My wife and I have been here twice so far. And each time the food was great both times. The appetizers and pasta dishes were creative and delicious. The restaurant is cozy. And very busy most evenings. So it can be a little loud. So if quiet is what you’re after, then perhaps eat outside. But the food is wonderful for a very fare price.

Top notch pasta I had an amazing time here. Came at 5:45 with a group of 6 and got seated right away. But it did get busy at 6, so if you show up later there might be a wait.

Cool little pasta restaurant. Stand outs were the spaghetti with meatballs, the focaccia, and the grilled peach desert. Went on a Saturday and there was already a line at 5pm.
I’ve walked past this place many times - but it was always too crowded. Finally on a Thursday I passed by and it didn’t look too busy so I dropped in. Overall - I really enjoyed the experience and will return.
Food - relatively simple dishes, but well executed with fresh ingredients. Loved the eggplant appetizer. The pasta dish that I had as a main was also on point. I believe the tagliatelle was fresh. Tasted good regardless.
Service - this is probably my biggest issue. Everyone was friendly and helpful. No issue there. But the model is you wait on line to order. It can be a wait. Reservations would be nice. Or even a virtual line system.
Atmosphere - the outdoor patio, which is where I sat, is perfectly pleasant. Challenge is you can’t plan ahead so that you know you’ll get the patio…
Vegetarian options: The menu is small and always changing. When I went most of the dishes were veggie by default with the option to add animal protein for some of them. My meal was all veggie - and definitely very good.
Parking: Only parking is street parking. It’s Oakland - be careful.

Love this local spot! Fresh pasta is ? overall. The depth of the pasta flavors varied a lot per dish and we went from wow’ed to content pending on the dish. The eggplant appetizer was Devine. Service is friendly and casual. You order at the counter and the table support is somewhat informal/flag folks down when you need things. It’s a great spot to go with 4-5 people to try the entire menu! So glad it’s part of the neighborhood. We also were able to sit outside with our four month old comfortably.

Absolutely delicious pasta and very reasonable priced. Really nice little space and good atmosphere. Only downside was having to wait for 45 minutes for an inside table at 8:30p on a weekday.

Wanted to try this new-ish spot. You order at the counter as you enter - they won't let you pick a table until you do. That seems less than welcoming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the menu. We ordered from the limited menu, were served our drinks at the counter, and finally allowed to get a table. It was very warm inside the restaurant. We all ordered spaghetti and meatballs - the sauce was sweet and too salty. Noodles were overcooked and meatballs were less meaty and more bready. There was one female server who was very, very nice, but the guy at the counter made us feel like we were inconveniencing him with our presence. We won't be back.
