" A bit hit or miss for me! The pasta was delicious and well made, but I felt the service wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The waitstaff was friendly but not as attentive as I hoped. I’ll give it another shot but these things need some work. " (*Curated Review*)

The meal was good, but I didn’t find it anything extraordinary compared to other Italian places. I'd say it's worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
