Pastabilities

We went here based on the hotel’s recommendation, not thinking the wait would be too bad on a Monday night at 6pm. That was wrong. If you have never been here and are just looking around, you for sure have to make reservations. No big deal, we found something else that night and made a reservation for the next day. I like the atmosphere but if you are looking for a place for quiet conversation and a meal, maybe this isn’t it. I enjoyed the pre-dinner sauce and bread so decided to go with the 50-50 sauce over linguine with meatballs for dinner. The sauce does get a little spicy as you go. But I like a spicy sauce so it was great. I was hoping for a little more texture in the noodle since it is made in house, other than that they were good. My wife had the pesto pasta with chicken added. I think they did a good job with the pesto. Sometimes it can be too rich or too much olive oil or too dry but the consistency and flavor was just right. It did taste like they use a different kind of basil, it wasn’t sweet basil, not saying this is a bad thing just a slightly stronger basil flavor. The service was mediocre. The first night when we said we didn’t have a reservation we got an eye-roll and deep sigh from reception, like how dare we do such a thing. Our server was nice, but everything took a long time. From the initial, “Can I get you something to drink while you look at the menu” to bringing the checks. It just took a while for each interaction. I would recommend this place to others for sure if I lived here. The food is great. Oh almost forgot. The americano coffee was really good. I liked the bean roast and flavor.

Amazing all around gotta make reservation.
