This place is fantastic. Consistently delicious with thoughtful daily specials. My partner is on a special no dairy or alium diet and they always come up with something delicious for him. Service is excellent as well.

Absolutely terrible experience. My wife is ada and we sat down before ordering, only to be immediately talked down to by the server. The tone was condescending and passive-aggressive from the moment we were seated through ordering. When someone in our group tried to ask for clarification, we were again dismissed and made to feel like a burden.
We ended up leaving before our food even came because it was clear we weren’t welcome. Accessibility and respect should be the bare minimum, and this place failed on both. Easily one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Oakland and one of the very few times I’ve felt compelled to leave a one-star review.
This is one of the very few single-star reviews I’ve ever written, but the experience left us feeling unwelcome from start to finish. Accessibility and basic courtesy should be standard, and unfortunately, neither was extended to us here.

Great foods and chill vibes here. There’s always a long line at the restaurant so make sure you get there early

I really wanted to like this place given the reviews and how crowded it always seemed to be when i passed by.
Unfortunately, the food was just lackluster. I had the tagliatelle (vegetarian) which had some interesting flavors with tarragon and scallion, but overall it left me wanting more. My partner’s plate of the same dish was overly salty. Maybe the meat dishes are better? Nice ambiance and beautiful presentation of the dishes though.

Truly delicious and thoughtfully prepared food with incredibly fast service and a rotating menu. This place is popular. Don't be intimidated by the line - it moves fast! The olives are out of this world!

You gotta love an elevated neighborhood pasta place. Their staff has always been nice and helpful. their menu (although it changes pretty frequently) is always good. It's also nice to have a pasta place actually offer gluten free pasta that is as good as their other pasta!

The spaghetti & meatballs and strawberry shortcake were absolutely spectacular! I enjoy a smaller menu — the chef really knows their stuff. Loved the casual setting, too. A special spot.

I came here on a Friday night and had a great time. The food was fresh and they used premium ingredients. You can taste the difference with fresh made pasta.
Pay at the register then get seated.
Street parking can be difficult on a busy night.
I am totally coming back try out more of the seasonal menu.
