We came on a Sunday afternoon. The vibe is casual yet cozy. The menu is small and straightforward...Pastas, Romanian Style Pizzas and some desserts. The pasta was cooked to order. We had CARBONARA and BOLOGNESE. Wow, the pasta was fresh and cooked al dente. Generous portions. It was one of the best pasta dishes we've ever had.
We also tried their SAUSAGE and MUSHROOM PIZZA. Generous with the toppings and the dough was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Perfect!! It didn't need anymore condiment or whatsoever!
Food was served in a timely manner and service was great! Highly recommend it!
The sign up at front says in big underlined words "vegan options". We have visited the location twice to ask about the vegan options, and we purchased food only on our secomd visit. One of the employees said there were multiple items on the menu that can be made vegan. A different employee said there is only one option that is vegan and nothing else, since the pasta is made of eggs. We tried the only vegan pasta that both employees agreed were vegan, and they served it with cheese on top.
I feel like it's misleading to use the terms "vegan options" when there is only one option, and even then they went out of their way to ensure to feed us something that was not vegan friendly. Overall a poor experience :(
However the saving grace was the wonderful outdoor courtyard which truly elevates the dining experience! And the food, some of the most amazing dishes of Italian cuisine that I have had in quite some time! We tried 5 of their pasta dishes among the 6 of us and all of them were to die for! With food that good, they could give me attitude all day; I most definitely will be coming back for more as it's just so exquisite!
Look past any unwelcoming vibes from the staff because the food here is just perfect!
The pizza with mortadella and pistachio was absolutely phenomenal. It doesn't look like it's on the regular menu but should be. Yum. The lasagne was good. Very hearty and filling. Similar to lasagne from Bologna but a little heavier. The carbonara, however, was not good. Broken scrambled eggs with smokey bacon. The flavor could possibly work but the texture ruined it. No chance to improve it because mine was the last order of the night. Couldn't judge until at home and disappointed. Went there at 8:40 expecting to dine in but could only order to go. Fridays and Saturdays should not have a close time of 9pm. I was looking forward to a glass or two of wine and some nice pasta but here is another early close establishment. Too bad. Please consider later hours on Friday and Saturday - most of the other establishments in the immediate area are open later.
I'll be back for that mortadella pizza again for sure and maybe the lasagne, but I hope the carbonara gets better and that the hours change.
