Incredible pasta dishes--fresh and light and lovely. I had the truffle gnocchi, the homemade sausage rigatoni and the mushroom agnolotti. Next time I'd skip salad and desserts and just order double the amount of pasta. It's that good. Owner is a friendly, funny guy. Bill came out exactly right. Can't emphasize enough how delicious the pasta is. I spent a ton including a bottle of wine last night and I'm seriously considering going back tonight to try more of the menu.

I observe this place from the bus stop. Love the sophisticated design of their signage, which looks like a stamp. Perhaps these should be on US postage—they are more fun and colorful. I do judge the book by its cover because I like to objectify everyone and everything. Btw, the bus stop has some of the best electronic billboard advertisements. And so I like this object called bus stop.
