Came here recently and went in with pretty high expectations, but fair ones. Unfortunately the pasta is just ok. It's on par with pasta you'd get from a decent quality delivery service like Pasta Evangelists, or a nice supermarket kit. The servers were really nice, pretty much perfect service. I think the biggest issue with this place is the atmosphere. If you want an idea of the vibe in here (layout, decor, lighting, furniture, ambience) it's airport terminal core. You genuinely feel like your sat in an airport terminal or a business suite in a hotel. I can see what they tried to go for, but with the fact the pasta is super average, it feels like they aimed for minimalist and industrial vibes but landed at T3. Also side note, the tiramisu was really disappointing, not in a "tik tok hyped me up and I was disappointed" way, just in a bland way. The other dessert we had was way better.

Went on the 23rd. Food was absolutely gorgeous. Staff were incredibly friendly, especially Frank (she was amazing, needs to be paid more) All together 10/10 will definitely be going again 🤍
