"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

"Gnocchi in white sauce, and Fettuccine with meatballs. Both came out within 5 mins of ordering, and tasted great! The white sauce was much better than I expected. It wasn't bland, like in some other places, and the gnocchi was super soft and perfectly cooked. The other dish (meatballs) were good, my toddler immediately went "yumm yumm" u..." 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

"Fresh homemade pasta! I love when a restaurant does homemade pasta - you can really taste the difference. We got the tagliatelle with pasticciata, pappardelle with pesto, meat lasagna, and the polpetta cassone. I really enjoyed my tagliatelle with pasticciata sauce! The hot bowl of noodles was chewy and the sauce was a nice blend of Bolognese..." Read more

"The pasta you can tell is very fresh and the flavors are on point. The pesto was very oily though, and I know pesto can be an oily sauce but maybe tone that down? Either way would recommend as a good Italian spot in Berkeley. I got the Bolognese which was really good too, I just had to add a bit of salt."

"Was really excited for this place but it definitely fell short of expectations. Came here on a Sunday evening and ordered a couple dishes at the register and had it brought to our table. The first dish was their special, which was seafood with spaghetti in a tomato sauce. The spaghetti itself was clunky and undercooked. Mussels and clams in the tomato sauce..." Read more

"Great, fresh pasta with a number of options. Also the best tiramisu I've ever had. My only complaint is that it's a bit on the oily side but it's a delicious and reliable place to eat or order to eat in."

"I was expecting to be wowed but i totally wasn't. The gnocchi were ok the pasta was crap. Who ever is in the kitchen apparently forgot you have to stir pasta or didn't care. So i received a dish of stuck together pasta. Literally in clumps. The panna cotta was bland thick and more like jello that a wonderful creamy dish like it should be. Were they mad i onl..."

"I'm generally a big IHC fan but I think you really have to eat it right away. I picked up some and had to hold it for a while for my partners relatives who were flying in late and it didn't hit like it normally does. I suppose I should have known that but they asked for it specifically! Also the cacio e pepe special is pretty underwhelming which is s..." Read more

"Update:
While my original review said the piadina was forgettable, I've since ordered 1-2 piadina with my pasta every order. I've even started making my own at home. They my be forgettable compared to the pasta, but crave-able anyway."

No sense of emergency, they perform side work instead of helping customers.The line was at the door and the cashier was finishing a few minutes long call. The other person didn't help him.When he was over he went in the back to talk with his co-worker again. By that time..." Read more

"The service was great. Everyone was super friendly but the food was dismissal. I feel bad writing this review. I wanted to like this place so much. The two stars are for the dessert. I love Italian food, but this fell short of the mark."

"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
