The menu features a variety of pasta options, including the highly praised Pesto and Pomodoro, as well as the spicy Aglio E Olio with Calabrian chili and crunchy breadcrumbs. Guests have enjoyed the satisfying portion sizes, with some raving about the pasta in brown butter and cheese, as well as the oil-based Uncle Johnny's pasta.
