5 /5 Sarah Wu: The moment I opened the door and saw the plastic grape wreath decoration, I knew this was the kind of spot I’d enjoy—a little old-school and full of heart.
The menu is very reasonably priced, with all the pasta dishes under $20, which is rare these days. Our waitress was super friendly and brought us water with lemon right away. The complimentary bread was a nice touch—the garlic knots were a little underbaked, but the spiced olive oil dip that came with them was really good and full of flavor.
Each pasta dish comes with a small salad to start, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the steak ravioli in creamy sauce. The sauce was rich and tasty, though a bit heavy—it kind of covered up the flavor of the steak filling. Still, it was comforting and satisfying overall. One of my friends got the catch of the day, which was mahi mahi, served with pasta in a lemon cream sauce. The fish was grilled perfectly, light and fresh, and the lemon sauce really brought it together. Another friend had the lobster ravioli, which was probably the standout of the night. You could actually taste the lobster in the filling, and it paired beautifully with the pesto cream sauce.
Overall, it was a very comfortable, relaxed meal in a charming little spot. Nothing too fancy—just solid, hearty Italian food made with care. Definitely a place I’d come back to for a cozy dinner.
