The homemade pasta was perfect texture and the sauces flavorful. Even the beet/arugula salad was perfectly adorned and dressed. Plates of pasta were generous in size. Super Tuscan wine paired perfectly with the red sauce. Enjoyed our romantic evening looking out onto my favorite stretch of Grant St.

The food and service is always good. The background music was a bit loud throughout dinner. The time when it was loud and should have been loud was when we celebrated a birthday which was really fun. In general the music could be brought down a touch
