Pasta is imported from Italy!!! Ambiance is 10/10 and their inside seating is like a "bar" seating". But instead of a bar… its the kitchen so they cook everything right in front of you. Such a cool experience. Would make a perfect date night for all ...<3 Outdoor and regular table seating is also available.
