| - Googled Italian restaurants for lunch and found this place. Was a little uncertain as we pulled in since it is a very basic looking establishment and looked like mostly a To Go place.
We were super pleasantly surprised. I had a ravioli with sun dried tomato puree and a tomato butternut squash sauce. Both very fantastic. The hint of butternut in the sauce was perfect. Also came with a super yummy cheese to put on top that I can't pronounce or spell, but trust me, super tasty.
The owner was a very pleasant individual, lived in Italy for 15 years, so she knows what she is doing. The sauces have no sugar or flour in them. There is no egg in the pasta either so it is vegetarian, or maybe vegan? I don't know as I'm a meat eater.
I gathered that she has different sauces each day. The two sauces offered during our visit were the butternut squash and a tomato/fennel/basil sauce, which my co-worker said was really good as well. She actually let us taste one of the sauces before hand, and she gave us our sample with the potato gnocci, which was also really good.
FYI, there is not a lot of seating as most of her customers pick up to go, so not the best for a large group wanting to eat in. I think there was three small tables inside and one outside.
In short, a great place for lunch or to pick up some pasta and sauce for a quick and easy gourmet dinner at home. I highly recommend it!
