I am a self proclaimed salt lover - but the carbonara was way too salty. Inedible. It was really terrible. Pasta was surprisingly undercooked too. I was really excited to try the handmade pasta but they really missed the mark. Upside is that the food is reasonably priced and the restaurant is big so it can accommodate large parties. Staff were also very kind and helpful.
Insanely al dente pasta! Good but weird carbonara. Delicious butter sauce on butternut squash tortelli (felt like ravioli), which had such good tooth and smooth and creamy but dessert level sweet filling. Excellent warm cauliflower salad which was also sweet but not as overwhelmingly so, and had good acid that balanced it. Burrata was fine but the center wasn't as melty as I expect. 1 slice of extra bread cost $2. Service was friendly and efficient, no wait AFAI can remember...
The food is delicious, but the service is hit or miss. I had dinner there tonight and the cashier seemed very annoyed with us, and kept making passive aggressive comments about us coming during the dinner rush. And like yeah, it was dinner time…. I work in the service industry so I understand being busy, but we were not pressuring them to go faster and accepted that there would be a wait for food, no problem! But the comments really rubbed me the wrong way and made me feel unwelcome...
