" This place is a hidden treasure! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with attentive service throughout our meal. We shared several dishes, and each was better than the last. Definitely recommend the pesto pasta for a satisfying treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious handmade pasta, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and warm. The portions were satisfying without being overwhelming. I enjoyed every part of my meal and will definitely return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was expecting more based on the reviews I read. The atmosphere is nice, but my main dish didn’t live up to my expectations. The pasta was a tad overcooked. The service was polite but somewhat inattentive. I might come back but not any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I had the short rib ravioli, which was one of the best pasta dishes I ever had! Each bite was full of flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The staff was incredibly attentive and made great recommendations. While the location can get a bit noisy during peak hours, it's well worth the visit for the food alone. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by after hearing great things! The food lived up to the hype! The gnocchi was light and fluffy, while the pizza had a perfectly crispy crust. It was crowded but worth the wait. Will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a charming place! The wait staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delightful. The ravioli was stuffed to perfection, and the dessert options were tempting! The only downside was that it got loud as the night progressed. Still, I'd happily return for the great food and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is authentic and amazing! I loved the flavors of the polenta dish. My only issue was the staff seemed a bit rushed when we were there, which detracted slightly from the experience. But overall a lovely evening out. " (*Curated Review*)
