Pleasantly surprised. I’ve walked by this place 100x and never gave it a chance because of the exterior. Tonight I had dinner at the bar and it was excellent. They give you a mix of cheese olives and salami to start with bread and sesame breadsticks. I ordered a pasta and it was cooked perfectly. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Will be back.
Food was very delicious. Would definitely come back again!
I want to start by saying that the service is excellent. The staff is extremely welcoming, the atmosphere is really warm and cozy. We ordered dinner, just a basic fettuccine Alfredo and it tasted nothing like we anticipated. The flavor was not authentic, and almost tasted like it came out of a box with powdered cheese. I only took a few bites and just could not stomach the rest. The bread and butter served at the beginning of dinner was absolute perfection. They really did an excellent job. We ordered desert to-go, which was chocolate mousse and cheesecake. The chocolate mousse was light, fluffy, delicious and absolutely incredible. The cheesecake had an awful texture and the flavor was just “off”.. I’m not sure what it tasted like, but cheesecake is not the word that comes to mind. I would not come back here again, and would instead visit another Italian restaurant nearby.
