| - The service here is very welcoming, and the overall ambiance of the restaurant is quite nice. The server was friendly and helpful, and introduced us to the special of the day. I decided to try the Fresh Crab Bruschetta, Fresh Crab Spaghetti, while my friend decided to try Jamie's Sausage Papperdelle.
One thing that I liked about this restaurant is that the ingredients tasted fresh. The Fresh Crab Bruschetta was topped with crunchy fennel, lemon, and chili and tasted uniquely lemonly, seasoned, and quite healthy. The crab was quite fresh as well, and the small pieces of chili added a nice kick to it. Because it is loaded, it is easy for all the toppings to fall off.
On the other hand, the Fresh Crab Spaghetti did not quite blow my mind. The spaghetti on its own did taste quite fresh. However, it was little too salty, and perhaps there was too much olive oil. I did try my friend's Papperdelle however and that was cooked quite well with the al dante texture. The ragu was tasty as well with a hint of wine, and tasted fresh and meaty. I also liked how the pasta was uniquely shaped (not the typical shapes that you see at the stores) so it makes it interesting to eat.
For dessert we tried the affogato which was vanilla gelato topped with some ground nuts and a shot of espresso. Loved the coffee taste and when it melts into the gelato it tastes pretty amazing.
I probably will not try the Crab Spaghetti again but would probably come back again to try out some of their other fresh pastas or pizzas
