Just walked in based off reviews. The food was edible but lacked authenticity. The meatballs were lukewarm, the ravioli seemed to be a supermarket brand & not freshly made, & the large shrimp was tough, indicating it wasn't fresh either. Filled a gap but I wouldn't eat there if you looking for fresh or authentic Italian.

?I visited this place for the second time, & I can now confidently say that their pasta is among the best I have ever tasted. The spaghetti is fresh & cooked perfectly, hitting that exact sweet spot between al dente & soft. They offer a wide variety of options that cater to all tastes. I personally love their lobster pasta, but the other dishes are excellent as well; just choose what fits your preference & you will likely enjoy it.
?They also offer a complimentary salad bar, which is a generous & great touch.
?Pasta prices range between $20 & $40. Given the large portions, the free salad bar, & the high quality, the pricing feels incredibly fair.
?The service here is excellent. The staff is professional, & they even offer fresh parmesan right at your table.
?Finally, I really love the decor, the seating, & the overall ambiance. It is the perfect spot to catch up with friends, talk, & enjoy a fantastic meal.

Très bien cuisiné. J'espère que le la joue de veau va rester à la carte. Deux fois que je prends ça c'est vraiment excellent
