I dined here a couple of weeks ago for a friends birthday. I have to admit that the thought of handmade pasta had me all excited. I thought the atmosphere was nice although it was a tad dark in there...I do actually like to see my food. I found the display of dishes that they bring to your table kind of weird...I don't need to see it...just describe it to me. I also felt like having 6 specials to go over is a bit much...I'm not huge on lengthy waiter/diner interaction - I go to restaurants with either my boyfriend or family or friends and that's who I want to talk to. I'm always polite and I tip well but I don't want to spend all of my time hearing about the menu.
As for the food - I have absolutely no doubt that they use the highest quality ingredients. I had the gnocchi and while it was obviously made well the flavor didn't blow me away. Potato dumplings are not exactly bursting with flavor so you need a sauce that tastes awesome - this was just a basic marinara and some mozzarella mixed in. I honestly far preferred the gnocchi dish they served at PastaBar downtown...I have not found anything that compares.
Obviously this is a good restaurant and I don't mean to take away from that but for me it just wasn't a hit - especially considering the cost.
