| - I got the fettuccine with pesto; for the toppings, I added chicken (extra $1.00), bacon (extra $1.00), and parmesan (free), totaling $11. The pasta was cooked perfectly! It tasted fresh and was truly delicious. Even though I didn't get the pasta choice I wanted (more on that below), the fettuccine ended up being a great alternative. However, while I usually like pesto, it was a bit TOO much for me. The pasta was smothered in so much sauce there were giant clumps of basil that were unappetizing. The taste of the pine nuts was also super strong, which may not be to everyone's liking. While I really enjoyed the pasta part, I think the sauce could be toned down a bit.
The toppings were nice, but you definitely don't get a lot of it. There were about 4 small bacon squares, and I only noticed about 5 small chicken pieces - not worth the extra charge, IMO.
The place is small and the entrance where you order can feel a bit cramped, even with a couple of other people, but the store has about half a dozen small tables with four chairs each if you want to eat in. When I went, they only had 4 of the 7 pasta options - no gnocchi (which is what I originally wanted to get), linguine, or penne.
Overall, would I visit again? Yes. While I wasn't completely blown away by the sauce and I think they're pretty stingy with the toppings, I do think the pasta itself is something special and I'm up for trying other sauces.
