" I visited after hearing great things, and I found the food to be very delicious, particularly the homemade pastas. However, it was quite busy, and the service did suffer a bit because of that. I guess it’s a testament to how popular it is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food, good service. The outdoor seating is amazing in the summer! I had a nice date here and left with a smile. Just needs to improve their selection of desserts, that was the only letdown on my visit. " (*Curated Review*)
