This was one of my fav Italian restaurant in charlotte but lately the quality of food has gone down. I got the penne puttanesca (spicy pasta) but all I had was felt like a store bought pasta + some store bought pasta sauce with some veggies and crushed red peppers for $15. I could have make it better at home. Kids butter pasta was really good in the past but this time the pasta we got was all salt.... made $40 bill but got food which was well below par. One thing is sure, I won't be returning to the restaurant.
