It's always a good sign when you walk in on a weeknight and the place is packed with tables full of delicious food. Massive steaks and by massive I mean no smaller than 20oz. Whoa, is right. We kicked off the meal with the Octopus which was ammmmazzzing. It's so tender and very thinly sliced, served with Brussel sprouts and thin red onion. All of this on one fork is pure magic. Really. I swear. For the main show we opted for the Tagliatelle in blissful pomodoro sauce and generously topped with cheese. I mean...what more can you ask for? This is where the heaven part kicks in. One bite and your gone. We ordered a large to share which is very reasonable for the portion vs. price at $27. And because we are almost always over zealous when it comes to pasta we ordered the pasta special of the night, which was Morel mushrooms, asparagus, parm Reggiano and cauliflower purée. Also very, very good. As I'm sure it's no surprise there wasn't much room for dessert but I'll probably find a way to work this heavenly place back into the dinner round before we leave town.

We came in for lunch for valentines day 2016 and my overall experience was superb. The waitress was attentive to needs, knowledgeable of the menu, fast service and always smile. The food was also superb, we ordered the valentines day special risotto with red wine reduction to give a nice pink rose like the color. The flavor was intensely good, soft and gooey texture. Next we ordered the pappardelle which was also amazing using lamb meat, sweet peas and wild buffalo cheese on top. Pasta sauce tasted fresh, not too sour and generous offers for the meat. I highly recommend both of them. For the finale, we ordered Bistecca and it was glorious. Soft, high quality meat and lots of fat, it is worth it. I would definitely come back for more.

As long as I feel that I got value out of what I spent, then I am a happy shopper. Would I shop for my family of 5 at these stores? No. Would shop for very specific items or good deals, possibly. The stores are always clean, the staff are ready to help you, and in most of my experiences are very knowledgeable. Plus with the hot foods available, they always smell great when you enter.

So I did the Tom Yum Soup. Instructions were laid out in front of us. We had ingredients already or almost ready for us to start cooking. All we need to do is just to chop up the ingredients. We also had a theme. So we had the Vietnam dishes. I was in charge of making the Tom Yum Soup. It came out delicious. I really liked it. The other dishes were delicious too. Our instructor was Ching and she guided us in every step. Constantly watching how we cook. We had a great time. Everything went well. I also found out that every Friday they have couple's night cooking and Saturday they have classes for kids. At the end, I have to say it was fun. If you bring your own wine its cheaper but they have to pour the alcohol for you. Great team building event.

Got more than I was originally going for because they had other spices I had been looking for at their location. The store has a great collection of cookbooks, spices, kitchen equipment, specialty foods and equipment and lots to choose from from various nationalities. It is sometimes busy in there but line ups are generally not long. I inquired about French cooking classes and online ordering. They were kind enough to direct me to another spice supplier for items they did not carry which I appreciated very much. Definitely will be doing a lot more business with them,

My single shot was perfect down to the exact amount of crema and smooth finish. Plenty more to boot, like a great selection of wines and various sauces, more than possible to take in on a single visit. I stopped by thinking it was simply a coffee/espresso bar but found much more. In talking to my family who are new to the area and are great cooks, I found they were already well aware and are making use of their services, including special orders for their work. This is a destination to seek out, not simply a neighborhood spot. I'd drive across the city to get what they're offering here. That good. Very highly recommended.
