"I like the busy ambiance and the simple setup for quick dining. Smaller groups might end up sharing tables. The food is picture worthy but for $18 pasta I better not be getting lumpy spaghetti and I'm unable to fingerpoint what was missing but this time it fell short of my expectations. I may have to come back to try another popular dish next time. Latte was..." Read more

"Came here with a few friends, and I think the mutual consensus was that this place is a bit overhyped. All of my friends didn't LOVE our dishes, but thought they all resembled standard pasta options. Personally, I thought the Pappardelle Bolognese was a bit overcooked and bland--even with the excessive red pepper flakes I sprinkled on it. On the higher end w..." Read more

"I went here with a friend since we were both craving Italian. My friend got the standard pasta with a cream sauce. It came out very fast, as in less than 5 minutes from ordering. She said it was really good and ended up having enough left over to take home.I got their version of a calzone which ended up being like meat and cheese inside of a..." Read more

"I'm writing this with really mixed feelings...I really wanted to try this place ever since I saw it on Check Please. I thought last night would be a perfect opportunity to check it out because I had a friend who was in from London, that likes Italian food. The place is very "hipster" and "millennial" which is fine, and I get t..." Read more

"The pasta itself was quite great and excellently homemade! Great texture and was just right al dente. The sauce though left something to be desired. Was really and a bit bland. The meatballs were good though :)"

"Ate here yesterday.My BF had the Ravioli in Sage and Butter sauce...DeliciousI had the Lasagna. It looked so good but was way too salty i could barely taste anything but salt. I think someone in the kitchen knocked over a salt container into the sauce or something...My BF is a great cook and even he said it was way too salty.Had an upset stomac..." Read more

"Had seen them featured on PBS and everyone was very excited about the pasta. Not sure if it was due to takeout and having an hour drive until I could eat them, but wasn't as blown away as I expected. The noodles were ok, I have eaten better handmade noodles. The pesto was pretty oily and bland. The Bolognese sauce was good and so was the marinara sauce. They..." Read more

"This review is for takeout and I'm not sure it'd be any different for dine in, but..I really wanted to like this place but I think it was a little underwhelming. In terms of price it's good, but quality is ehh. So I ordered the parpadelle pasta with both the red sauce and whit sauce. White sauce tasted like NOTHING. Literally like they mixed it with milk or..." Read more

"I wanted to help out restaurants during the pandemic, but was disappointed the pasta was very overcooked. I loved this restaurant pre pandemic, so not sure what's going on here. I ordered the bolognese and when I got it home, it was just a big lump of pasta stuck together. I get restaurants are trying to do their best during the pandemic, but I hope the..." Read more

"Ordered a Caprese sandwich, yes sandwich, even my better half heard the same. Opened the bag at home and was surprised by the Caprese salad...kinda bumming if you know what I mean. Should have checked the bag but I guess this is MY BAD since this is the second time during 'rona I have been duped at home. I usually enjoy watching them prepare my food but with..." Read more

"Good pasta. However, whenever I order this place for takeout through ubereats or postmates the portions significantly lower and it is ridiculous how tiny the portions are."

"The pasta is very pricy for having no flavor and no meat. The entire menu should be ready to order when you open, in our case it wasn't. So we ate overpriced pasta with no flavor. The meat raviolis are good, maybe not worth $13"

"I really wanted to love this place as it has been bookmarked forever and it had such raving reviews. Maybe we went on an off day, but it just wasn't as amazing as the hype led it to be. So my girlfriends and I came here on a Saturday night. I love how they make the fresh pasta in front of you. It's quite magical and it definitely gets you excited to try it o..." Read more

"Pros: delicious pasta, sauces, meatballs! Cons: 1. The music is WAY TOO LOUD and it's awful and inappropriate for a restaurant (think thumping monotonous club music). Asked them to turn it down, still too loud. It's the opposite of relaxing or romantic.2. No wine. At a pasta restaurant. Water and soda are your only choices. With pasta. (This..." Read more

"Great flavor, short wait time, fun atmosphere. portion sizes are a little inconsistent but we loved the atmosphere and the flavor was great! My vegetarian option was super good, but came with a way smaller portion than my boyfriend's pasta dish. Either way, I'd definitely visit again."

"I love the concept of freshly made pasta plus your choice of sauce, but this place really fell short for me.I came in last night for dinner. They were packed, but I was still able to place my order pretty quickly. I ordered the pappardelle + pasticciata (bolognese with bechamel creme) and my s/o ordered the tagilatelle with meatballs.Since th..." Read more

"Really wanted to like this super cute place but for the price of the dishes, the quality isn't up to par. Ordered the Cacio e pepe special. The sauce was delicious! But like other reviewers had said the pasta was super clumpy. Like, it's not even that clumpy when I make store bought pasta at home. It definitely had a major effect on the dish and at $22 it's..."
