    Unfortunately we had a bad experience by ordering Pasta di Mare. Information in the menu clearly stated this as a linguini pasta. To my total surprise, when the plate was served it had a sort of lamen instead of a linguini. For an Italian restaurant, this is the type of thing completely unexpected and disrespectful. A plate that costs 39 dollars could never have such a gross mistake like this. I don't recommend the experience.
