I visited this Italian restaurant on a busy Monday night—it was completely full, which was a good sign. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pizza: flavorful, well-cooked, and just what you’d hope for from an Italian spot. Unfortunately, the pasta dishes were disappointing. One was overly acidic, while the other had an odd texture and was lacking in flavor, which threw off the balance of the meal.
Service was just okay. The staff was polite, but they brought the wrong drinks to our table and didn’t seem particularly attentive. On the plus side, the food came out quickly, even with the place being packed.

Starters were great, unfortunately the tomato sauce used on both the pasta and the pizza was very acidic, like it should have been cooked for longer.
