The pasta dishes were fantastic, the appetizers were good. The black spaghetti and the bolognese were absolutely delicious. The olive oil cake was not great but the pink pepper corn tuille was absolutely delicious. I wish it had been paired with a pan a cotta or something lighter than the olive oil cake.
