My fiance and I spontaneously decided to stop by this place because we felt like having Italian food. This was our first time there and we had a good time. Everyone from the waitstaff to nearby customers were full of joy and spirit, which was refreshing. Our waitress definitely deserves a medal for the courteous service that she provided. If I were to judge our experience purely based on the quality of service and the intimate atmosphere, it would be a no-brainer 5 star.
Now let's talk about the food. I ordered a plate of Fettuccine Bolognese and my fiance had Gnocchi Alla Gorgonzola. His gnocchi was chewy, flavorful, comforting and overall fun to eat, which is up to par but nothing to write home about. My meal, on the other hand, was lackluster. The sauce to pasta ratio was way off and the tomato sauce was overpowering.
