My Pasta Fettuccine Tartufo was sticky and the "house-made pasta" had a bite as if it had more flour in it than semolina. The Pasta in her Lasagna seemed to be a pile of deconstructed pasta. The sauce was delicious. She said the Nebbiolo Molino wine complemented the Lasagna. It did not pair with my Fettuccine Tartufo I asked for a white wine to go with the Fettuccine Tartufo, and they supplied a glass of GI Sauvignon Blanc that was way too fruity tasting and did not complement. [That Sauvignon Blanc was a very tasty wine on its own. I could smell the aroma of fresh grapes in it]. The service was good, it was friendly, and the owner checked in with us. Leif in Seattle

We stupidly didn’t dinner reservations elsewhere so we came here as a last resort and paid the ultimate price. The only highlight was the Caesar salad and everything else was a huge disappointment. The ravioli bolognese was mediocre and the ravioli in porcini was disgustingly pungent. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
