    I have been there with my wife a few times. We found this place on a neighborhood exploring expedition. While you may be off put because it's between a Jack in the Box and Soccer shop, do not be alarmed. After making plans and receiving the choice option, without hesitation we took our four friends and they really enjoyed the food which confirmed my original thoughts on this place. After a great meal, dessert and a couple bottles of wine, we all left happy and definitely coming back.

    The pasta itself was delicious and perfectly cooked. Sauces were fresh, but very mildly spiced. Between 6’of us, we had the clam sauce, arrabbiata, agrio e olio, and pesto: of these, the pesto was the clear favorite at our table, and the rest didn’t really have any memorable flavors. Two people ordered chicken dishes: both the panna e fungi and the lemon chicken were extremely bland; additionally, the lemon chicken had no capers in the sauce as advertised. Stick with the pasta here. Delicious burrata appetizer and tiramisu for dessert. Friendly but loud family atmosphere.

    Quaint little restaurant in a strip mall and the food was excellent. Delicious homemade pasta and reasonable prices. Service was friendly too.

    The home made pasta is fantastic. We shared some appetizers but they weren't really that suitable for sharing. Dessert was good.

    Super noisy atmosphere. Couldn’t even hear my family member speak to me from across the table. Food was good, tasted fresh and flavorful. Fresh pasta was excellent. Service was poor. I felt like we were bothering the woman who was assisting our server and I think she was either an owner or family of the owner. No one asked for our drink order and when I asked her, she was stern and obviously annoyed. Same way when we requested more bread. Automatically added 18 percent gratuity. We won’t be back.

    The authentic Italian homemade pasta was outstanding! Added sausage and mushrooms for a truly delightful meal. Service was stellar! Definitely worth a repeat visit.
