The bread was nice. The olive oil tasted SO GOOD. The truffle potato croquettes was nice (the tomato sauce was a bit spicy, which i like). I got the gnocchi Bolognese, it was good! Gnocchi had good texture but the sauce was just slightly better than average. My husband got another pasta (it was a fettuccine dish; sorry I forgot the name) and that pasta was bad. Overall, pretty decent pasta place.
