Such a cute happening place! Just know it’s located in an alleyway that can be a little hard to find. The food is fantastic! I had the Gorgonzola risotto that was the best I’ve ever had. The rest of my party had the pappardelle pasta that they said was excellent. Truly a great find.

Food was ok - nothing stood out to be amazing. Aperol Spritz was weak & watered down. Zucchini flowers were small. Ragu was dry.

The atmosphere of the store was very nice, I liked the romantic mood they had! It is styled almost like a home, very cozy. we went during their happy hour and had the $15 pasta and $10 Scala spritz. The spritz were super refreshing and nice. As for starters the zucchini flowers were super yum, the cheese and honey combo were so good! The crudo was nice with the pomegranate, slices were quite thick. The $15 pasta special was nice! Can’t remember what is was but the staff mentioned it did change day to day. The prawn linguine pasta was super good and flavourful too. We had the granita for dessert and it was okay, lots of different texture and flavours.
