Why We Love It:
Ha, as you can see by the photo (not a great one, sorry!), we often swing by this place for dinner after Spanish class. And oh man, we love it. The place itself is just a casual spot where you mix and match your order (choose a pasta + a sauce + toppings). But every single pasta we’ve tried there has been amazingly good. And their house wines are always spot on. All in all, a great (and affordable) place to stop if you need a break from tapas and love good, simple pasta.
Menu Recommendations:
- I’m obsessed with their carbonara (although look out, it’s super salty).
- Barclay really loves their taggiasca.
Other Tips:
- Be sure and ask about their pasta special of the day — we’ve loved many that we have sampled.
- Also, their house wines are always surprisingly good (and usually just €2.50/glass).
