Let me first say we were walking from our hotel by the restaurant and had intentions of having a nice family dinner at Rueben's on St Catherine. My wife and I are huge supporters of small Italian restaurants that serve fresh flavorful Italian food and have a nice warm "chaleuruse" feeling. Let me declare that CBLM has done a wonderful job in this regard.
I ordered the Seafood Fettuccine. It was offered in a red sauce or light (natural sauce). I chose the natural sauce. It had a wonderful medley of shrimp, clams, mussels, calimari. It was prepared in a light amount of garlic and was really tasty! My wife ordered the small plate version of Penne Arribiatta and daughters shared a regular regular spaghetti meat sauce. Wife mentioned the Arribiatta was very good, not wonderful, not bad and daughters were very happy with the spaghetti! When I was finishing my dish one of the chefs asked if I would like some more. I clearly thanked him but said it was fine. Rarely am I offered this! Wow!
The restaurant is a bit on the smaller side but this made it more cosy. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely return!
