The best pasta restaurant in my ranking list. Tiramisu is moist and soft. Creamy mascarpone with cocoa powder is perfect.Truffle mushroom pasta is creamy and tasty as well as smells good.The tomato pasta is also good.

Came for dinner and ordered two items. I enjoyed it but found the taste didn’t continue to taste good as i took more bites. Overall okay and price is not too bad but I wasn’t able to finish my meal since it became a bit gross(for lack of better terms) as I ate more. Service was also very mediocre and I had to get up to ask for the billVegetarian options: Some available on menuDietary restrictions: Will accommodate allergyKid-friendliness: Good place to bring kidsWheelchair accessibility: Tight space, might be inconvenient
Always have a good meal here. Very reasonable and great service

Very disappointed in the food. Got their octopus as an appetizer and it was overcooked!! Definitely not worth the $30 and their nduja pizza was very bland. We were not pleased, will not be returning.

Cute n cozy little place, was really busy but the food was excellent and made up for the long wait times. Service was very good. Gave 4-stars only because each time we needed something we had to wait for a bit for anyone to be present in the room and get our attention. Not a big deal though. Will certainly recommend this place!

Food is average. Nothing to rave about, nothing too bad that I need to turn it back to the kitchen.Ambience is weird. We were seated on the 2/F, it doesn't feel much like a restaurant, it's a weird space with very quiet background music and very loud human voices/ noises. The light is flickering and the vibe is just so awkward.But food and ambience are not the reason why I gave a 1-star review. Read on......I visited this "no reservation" restaurant in Jan 2024, and I didn't call in advance (because it says no reservation, why would I call?) and when I drove all the way from uptown to downtown, I saw a closure sign on the front door. I messaged the restaurant via IG and was told that they tried to update Google hours but somehow it didn't reflect the closure. They said they will make it up to me when I visit next time.OK so I messaged them on Apr 17, saying that I plan to visit on Apr 18. Since they don't take reservation, I don't bother to ask them if they can reserve a table for me.So I dine in on Apr 18, mentioned the case to the manager, and he told me "IG is managed by cooperate/ head office/ marketing team, we don't know about it. Let me take a picture of the IG conversation and I'll ask".We had our meal and when we asked for the bill, the manager came and explain to us that "since you didn't book in advance, we cannot do anything for you. If you do book in advance on IG, the marketing team would give us a promo code to give you an offer. Also, you didn't order dessert or espresso, so I cannot comp those for you."I was very put off by the way how the manager handle the case.1) It's a no reservation restaurant, how the hell do I know I should make a reservation in order to get the compensation/ offer?2) How would a customer know that there is no communication between the marketing team and the restaurant? It wasn't clearly stated that I must book through the IG marketing team in order to get the offer.3) The manager could have offered us complimentary dessert and asked if we want it. The server only asked if we want dessert, but didn't mention it would be complimentary (and we don't really want dessert anyways)4) Our bill is not small. We ordered a bottle of wine. We didn't order just 1 app and 1 main to share among 2 people. The manager could have just give us 10% off or comp an app (which is similar to the cost of a dessert)Keep saying that you are part of a big cooperation and that "nothing I can do" sounds very lame.I am not making things up, see the screen capture for more details. I rarely leave a 1-star comment, but I do think I have all the reasons to do so.
