Sophia Lee: The squid ink linguini is absolutely amazing. Great service, knowledgable and friendly. A new fave
Jon Jakubcin: Absolutely delicious! I recommend the ravioli, Kobe meatball and any of the pasta!

Fernando Covas: On the pricey side for some things, but the quality and atmosphere are well worth it. Their pastas are perfectly cooked, even the ever-so-simple and satisfying spaghetti chitarra al cacio e pepe.
Nathan Smith: The pasta is some of the best in Italy, authentic old world concepts done in fresh ways. Handmade burrata is excellent.
Gina: Espresso bar, gelati, bread, fresh pasta and cheese! Mmmmm!

Vince Ferrari: Had the lobster ravioli, probably the best ravioli I have had in an Italian restaurant.
Amber Lill: The cardinale chicken and lobster ravioli are delicious; the home-made pasta and sauces are unbelievable! You can't go wrong with the Butternut squash soup, either.
Matthew Weiner: Get the sauce from the lobster ravioli on some homemade linguini with meatballs. It's not on the menu but they're awesome so they'll do it for you.

Laura Yee: Five women shared two "toast" items (beef tartar and boratti with heirloom tomatoes), two pastas, mussels, french fries and the steak followed by warm brownie with ice cream and blackberries. Delish.
Jade F.: Their pims cup and truffle pasta are amazing! Must try - they never fail :)
Suli Chong: Quite a gem. The shrimp & grits transformed my generally negative impression of grits. The Pork Belly was fall off the bone to die for and the truffle pasta complimented everything else very nicely.
