Our friendly server got us started with our water and drink orders right away. I like how their menu had quite a selection to choose from. Started off with the Calamari and Garlic Bread (with cheese), which were both crispy, savory, and delicious! Both my nieces had the Butternut Squash Ravioli, while my nephew and I both had the Filet Mignon (medium rare please), which came out perfect (thanks, Chef!). All in all, it was quality time well spent and a wonderful dining experience. Till next time!

It had a nice sauce and a good amount of veggies. Overall I thought it was pretty good. I've had amazing pasta on a recent trip to Paris so compared to that, it wasn't the greatest. Service was really good. They also were very accommodating for allergies. The interior was nice. It's actually quite spacious inside, although it doesn't seem very big from the outside. It's pretty casual as well. Not very full for a weekday night either. I do think prices were slightly too high for the quality but otherwise pretty reasonable. I'd want to come back to try some of their other foods.

Expectation wise? Don't expect Michelin star chefs or fancy interiors. It's a very humble setup in a non-traditional office building with staff who go the extra mile to assist customers. My pasta was made on the spot by the same person who took my order and made my espresso. He was a very honest, hard worker who served customers while making the food and drinks from scratch. I watched him meticulously cleaning all the cooking equipment, espresso machine, countertops, surfaces, and cleaning the floors after serving his customers. I was very impressed by his work ethic and dedication. I tried the penne pasta with mushroom and sausage topped with Alfredo sauce. It came with garlic bread and salad. Their number one ordered meal. So good! The penne pasta with rossa sauce (rose sauce) came with chicken and mushrooms. I prefer the Alfredo sauce as it was rich creamy and delicious. However what made my experience a good one was the hospitality and attentiveness of the staff. In today's fast food world, good service warrants a higher star rating!

It's our go-to for work catering, especially since they are fully Halal, which is a huge benefit for our entire team. They also have excellent veggie options, so catering is always simple and satisfying for everyone. The food itself is pure comfort.

It's always delicious and the prices are always reasonable.

The design your own pasta for less than $12 from an arrangement of varietal ingredients alone should bring you here; not to mention the sweet owners who cater the food with love. There was so much to choose from I decided to throw in a complicated mix that still worked out. There is no dine in and no need because the take out portions are plenty and the branding of the restaurant gives it that not too bougie but low key bang for your buck deal! I am so surprised this place does not have more reviews, the sincerity and joy of their service you'd think they are tryna hide something assuming it has to do with the food but its just a bonus cause the food just slaps!

The lemon rosemary drink was refreshing and a great earthy and sour taste. The Bomba Mozzarella was so delicious, mozzarella is my favourite cheese and it was so nice to eat it freshly made with some spicy peppers and bacon ragu. The focaccia was perfectly toasted to pair with. I love a good kale salad and the Toscana kale salad did not disappoint. I will admit it is kind of hard to pierce the kale with the fork to eat, probably easier just to scoop it up. The chicken and gnocchi was good, although the chicken was a little more charred and tough than I would've liked. Gnocchi was delicious though in the cream Alfredo sauce. Overall, great meal and service. Would definitely come back again. Great spot to come with friends and groups and just share a bunch of food.

The hostess accommodated our request for a booth, cleaned and prepped the empty seat for us. This place is decently big, lots of seats, bar and dining area is available. Pretty busy over the weekend during dinner rush. Service is prompt, fast and Jackie was very kind to explain the menu and what they recommend. We got spaghetti and meatballs, steak and mozzarella. I would say everything was as good as I expected them to be except for the meatball. It was too dense inside and not the usual signature meatball I know scaddabush offers. Would certainly not order that again. The spritz cocktail gin had too much cucumber and water taste to it, not much alcohol. Otherwise I would come here again perhaps try their happy hour as well.

I was initially worried about the turkey order if it will come out with thick portions of dry, white meat. Fortunately, that was not the case. The turkey was juicy and was complemented well by the gravy and mashed potatoes. The steelhead trout was also good, but just not my favorite out of the 4 dishes we ordered. I would recommend going with the Prix-Fixe menu as it is slightly better value. Just by adding a few more dollars you get an appetizer and a dessert. The Vanilla Panna Cotta and Chocolate Raspberry Tartufo picks we had for dessert was OK. Service we had when we dined was a mix bag. Our waiter was nice and helpful. The food also was served with the complimentary pepper grinding and grating of cheese. The minor gripe I have is the inconsistent and long serving time. Our appetizer was served right away, but our mains arrived much, much later than typical or standard to what I have come to expect from a dine in restaurant. The waiter did come out to acknowledge about the long gap between serving the appetizer and the main. I also remember having to ask for the dessert to already be brought out. Overall, the food was good to great. However, it is a bit pricey. For our group of 4 our bill including tax and tip reached around $160. Our orders included the Lasagna, Pasta arrabiata, a dessert, and two 3-course Prix Fixe menu.

My order of the beef stew was not bad. The beef was somewhat tender and the crusty bread is a perfect accompaniment with it. The dessert was my favourite part which surprises me considering I'm not a huge sweets person. The Budino was very rich yet the perfect way to end the meal. All together I'd say 4/5
