| - The food was amazing!!! Superb service!!!
So we went here for dinner last night. My wife picked this place since she's seen good reviews, and we were mostly curious on their pasta made on a cheese wheel!
The place was cozy. It's in a strip mall, unassuming, but pleasant. When we got in, somebody was at the door, greeted us, really friendly guy. Only into the meal did we realize he was the owner of the place. The host was polite, had our table ready in a couple of minutes - we did the online reservation, party of 5 with 2 kids. It was quick. It's start of dinnertime, so place was starting to get busy. But it never seemed like it at all thru dinner, since our waiter was always checking on us, water and drinks were always refilled even before it's half empty. Bread was warm and refilled, we said we're good on 3rd refill. We asked the waiter for a good wine pairing with our pasta, he came back with the owner's recommendation and it was excellent.
Onto the main event, we had the calamari, escargot, and the star of the show, the linguine cheese wheel (I forgot the official name).
Calamari was light, crunchy, salted and seasoned just right, and it was fresh - no fishy aftertaste at all (not like other restaurants). Escargo was delicious. And for the pasta, the chef (who is actually THE owner too) prepares it right on your table. We never had pasta made on a cheese wheel, and let me tell you, you won't have it any other way (of course not your everyday price point too, but it was worth it)! The sauce had really tasty tasty strips of pork and the pasta is perfect, homemade and just perfect! Big size serving!
My son ordered a side o sausage, and he finished it with his pasta.
To cap off, we ordered cappucino, and we also got a limoncello as part of the meal (goes with the meal) - excellent topoff! The chef/owner really makes the place his own with his and staff's charm.
Our dinner was excellent all around! Perfect service! A mom and pop shop that you can go to for a great meal, on a date, or with the family - just excellent experience all around!
Will definitely be back for more! Thanks again guys for the great meal and service!!!
