| - If you like good pasta, this place is for you.
My friend and I came here recently, and, thanks to Yelp, we had a wonderful experience.
Following advice from past reviews, we ordered the Ricotta Gnocchi and Pappardelle Bolognese... Both dishes were extremely well made, the gnocchi having more savoury and spice to it, and the bolognese having a jambalaya-reminiscent topping that was surprisingly elegant.
However, other things we tried were relatively lacklustre - I found that the flavours in the octopus salad were not well balanced, being predominantly acidic and a little bitter (but not subtle enough to pull it off). The lemon trifle was also unimpressive.
Overall, I give 4 stars because I still fondly recall the gnocchi I had here (my friend actually preferred the bolognese though), as well as the interior. The pictures actually do not do it justice - the interior is beautiful, with a touch of elegance that is somehow both modern and rustic. The service was also pretty good.
I will come back when I have about $25 to spare for a plate of delicious pasta. And I will suggest it to every guy I know for a date place to impress a special girl.
