I had dinner with a group here not long ago and I had heard that it was a great place for pasta, as they make their own.
Service was painfully slow to get drinks and place our food orders, but once we ordered appetizers and mains, the food came out not too long after. I had the beef carpaccio to start, and it looked delicious when it arrived. Sadly, the olive oil was not very good and it wasn't seasoned at all so it was a disappointing choice. The deep fried calamari that my friend ordered was quite good, though, so I would likely order that if I ever go back.
Unfortunately, my Garganelli Geppetto (pasta with dandelions, homemade spicy italian sausage, fontina, parmigiano, extra-virgin olive oil) was also extremely bland. My friend also had the same issue so we asked for some salt and pepper. Our server brought out a tiny dish of rock salt. So very bizarre to serve this, especially with no spoon. I had to pour the salt into my hand then sprinkle in my food, but the salt chunks were so big that it was not possible to season properly. There was no way to crush the big rocks between my fingers as it was very hard, so some bites of food were extremely salty and others very bland, resulting in an extremely unpleasant meal.
If the chef can't season the food properly, then they should at least have a better option for guests to season the food themselves. Very disappointing dinner so I'm in no hurry to return.
