"Iggy’s has a whole room dedicated to making pasta. You can easily peer into the room where their dedicated pasta chef rolls, crimps, and cuts dough, sometimes with the help of a fancy machine. That tells us that Iggy’s takes its food really seriously, but that it’s also a lot of fun. Bring a date and book two seats at the chef’s bar in the back—not only can you watch the kitchen crew pulling together dishes like the wild mushroom tortellini and rigatoni bolognese, but they’re happy to banter a bit in between cooking and plating. You’ll want to place two orders of the garlic bread that’s oozing with cream cheese: one to devour with your dinner and the other to enjoy the next morning." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
