" I visited this past weekend for the first time, and the experience was delightful! The ambiance makes you feel like you’re in a quaint little restaurant in Italy. I tried their signature pasta in the cheese wheel, and it was fantastic! Rich and creamy, just the way I like it. The wait staff was friendly, but it took a while to get seated. Once we were seated, the service was smooth. I would recommend checking it out if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant truly offers a wonderful dining experience. With its open kitchen and friendly vibe, you feel welcomed right away. I ordered the spaghetti with prosciutto, and it was delicious! The ambience just added to the overall charm. However, there appears to be a lack of some authentic touches that might elevate the dishes even further. I'd happily return as each dish was thoughtfully crafted! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a busy Saturday night and was blown away by the vibrant energy in the restaurant. The Parmesan pasta, served from a huge cheese wheel, was as delicious as everyone says. I also tried their special of the night, which was a seasonal risotto with fresh truffles—divine! The service was a bit slow because of the crowd, but the staff remained helpful and courteous. I will absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for good Italian-American fusion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with a group of friends and was excited to try the famed spaghetti in the cheese wheel. It did not disappoint! The waiter made sure we were all taken care of, and the ambiance was buzzing with energy. However, I found the dessert offerings to be underwhelming compared to the savory dishes. Still, a place worth trying, especially for the pasta experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My overall experience was very good, with some highlights and lowlights. The cheese wheel pasta was fun to try, but the flavor wasn’t as strong as I hoped. The atmosphere was lively, and my server was nice, but we waited too long for the main course. I’d still say it’s worth checking out if you haven’t been. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious fusion dishes served in a cozy environment. The tagliatelle with mushrooms and shrimp was fantastic, although I expected the pasta to be even creamier. The staff were polite, but there was a delay in receiving our orders. Still, a lovely way to experience a blend of Italian and Japanese culinary styles. I’d likely suggest this spot to friends looking for something different! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations after hearing friends rave about this restaurant, my visit was a mix of hits and misses. The cheese wheel pasta had an incredible presentation but fell short on flavor. The ambiance was nice and the servers very attentive, yet I felt let down by the food's authenticity. I appreciated the mix of cuisines, but they could ramp up their flavor profiles a bit more. Worth a visit for first-timers, though! " (*Curated Review*)
