Best pasta I’ve had in so long. Had a great experience there, have had 4 different pastas: the fried truffle, the bucatini arabiata, the Torchio special, and the Cacio E Pepe.

This restaurant is their retirement project… go figure. Anyways 10/10

I celebrated my birthday solo at the bar, and I’m so glad I did! The staff were warm, friendly, and made me feel truly welcome. The truffle and fried burrata with freshly made fettuccine was absolutely to die for, and the home made lemon olive oil cake was the perfect finishing touch. I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Bill, whose hospitality made the experience even more special. I left Torchio with a full heart and a happy stomach. Definitely one of the highlights...
