"Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink):\n1 star: Never again.\n2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.\n3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.\n4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.\n5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.\n\nThe portion to price here is not bad at all, but just know that if you just get one order of pasta, you will leave a little hungry. That's the trade-off.\n\nThis side of the restaurant is light years ahead of the ramen side. (See review for Otakumen.) The noodles came out al dente, they were a little over-sauced. This place was exactly what I expected from an Italian joint downtown catering to the lunchtime crowd - decently priced meal that comes out pretty quickly and tastes just fine. \n\nNo rave reviews here, but no major knocks either. I might be giving this place more of a boost than I should just in comparison to the trainwreck ramen it served me."^^ .
