"Their spaghetti dish served at the table was watery and the pasta was under cooked."
"The only disappointment was the black spaghetti since it wasn't as creamy or flavourful."

"The interior is not what I’d consider luxe or particularly interesting and maybe a bit spartan."
"I’m not a fan of the chairs and how the tables are all close together, so I give the atmosphere a 3/10 - it’s not as private as I’d prefer but everyone is different. :)"

"Place is pricey and we had two different pasta dishes."
"I paid $200 for the three of us for dinner, could’ve gone somewhere else with better ambience for that price."
