so, the pasta itself is quite good. the service and general demeanor of the staff is not great. be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes for your food

Yesterday I decided to try Al Volo for the first time, and to my dismay, my meal gave me FOOD POISONING. I had half of the Genovese sandwich, immediately the sandwich tasted extremely bland and the chicken was very chewy. Thank God it was so bad I did not get to the second half because 2 hours later began one of the worst afternoons of my life.

Not happy. I cannot tell if the The TikTok reviews were fake or if the staff decided to be lazy with my order. See pictures for more details. I couldn’t even enjoy it because it was 90 burnt.
