Cucina Al Volo - Washington

Waited 27 minutes and paid $18 for this fettuccine carbonara, which is just fettuccine with alfredo sauce. In what world is this carbonara? Soupy, flavorless, and as other reviews have said, cooked without any salt at all.Food: 1/5

I am so glad that I found this pasta spot at Union Market! I ordered the spinach fusilli with grilled veggies and alfredo sauce. Although it was a very busy lunch time on a Wednesday, I still had my food within 10 minutes of ordering. One of the coolest things about my experience was watching the fresh pasta dough get pumped out from the pasta machine. The menu had lots of options, but I am very pleased with my vegetarian-friendly carb choice.

This place use to be good, now it is SO SO bad. $50 to eat an over cooked pasta and a garlic bread that is not even that.

This place was so yum and in the middle of the Union Market food hall.I split the sandwich and salad with a friend, and the photos are the halved portions (aka you get a lot of food).The salad was delicious, there was only one piece of mozzarella but it was salty and gooey. The tomatoes were very fresh.The sandwich was amazing definitely was fresh bread and the pesto was great.It definitely hit the spot and I would come back!

There is no doubt that the pasta and the different sauces are great and better than in many Italian restaurants in DC.This said, the attitude of the staff is disappointing. Not pleasant or polite. I understand they are quite busy but at the price they charge for just pasta, respect could be the least they could add to the service. For me it is simple: no courtesy no tips, even more as I am handed a box and then have to search for an empty table to eat.
