We ordered the Grassona, the pappardelle special, and the meat lasagna. Very tasty and filling. Topping it off with the panna cotta was a treat!

Disappointing. I don't like leaving bad reviews, but oh well.The tortellini was undercooked (not just al dente) yet somehow the sausage inside was dry. The other dish, tagliatelle w/ bolognese sauce, was breaking into pieces with twirling with a fork. Also, I ordered "extra sauce", but based on how the tagliatelle was dressed I can't imagine ordering it without the 'extra' - to my eyes I received what should be standard.The taste of both dishes was nice. Just very much lacking on the details by those preparing the food.

Got gnocchi, green salad and meat lasagna. A bit expensive for the quality. The leaves in the baby greens in the salad that were rotten had to be picked out.Kid-friendliness: Great spot for young kids to make a mess w/o causing distress to the staff.

this place seems really good in my head, but all three times i’ve gone here i’ve ended up disappointed. the food isn’t bad but it always falls short of my expectations. this could be a me issue though bc others that I go with tend to enjoy it more than me. the veggie lasagna sauce didn’t taste very good to me and i wish it had more protein or did more to the vegetables.
The Italian homemade company is some of the best Italian food I’ve had in the Berkeley area!Their Gnocchi was super fresh tasting and their pesto sauce was very nicely balanced. I will say that the portion was smaller than expected for $17.50 Rate:8.2/10Their meat lasagna with Bolognese was spectacular! Very filling portion size and I appreciate that it came out piping hot. The ratio of bechamel/meat/pasta was fantastic with my only criticism being that it could’ve used some (more?) cheese between the layers. Rate 9/10Tiramisu. Not traditional in any sense but superb! Lady fingers were more dry than I’m used to for sure. 9.3/10Vegetarian options: All sauces have dietary restrictions listed next to themKid-friendliness: The build-your-own pasta aspect of things is super kid friendly

Lasagna, gnocchi, and tiramisu were all amazing. The gnocchi tasted super fresh and handmade. The tiramisu was also a pleasant surprise. It was super airy and not too sweet. Definitely recommend to try it!

No self-respecting pasta place should be playing Party Rock Anthem on full blast. It's like the place is punishing customers for their affordable menu prices by forcing them to ensure one of the most godawful, club-wannabe playlists composed of bad EDM whilst dining under uncomfortably bright white lighting. The food whispers sweet nothings of classy Italian dining, but the playlist screams "it's 2am and you're getting another shot to numb the pain of a DJ that should have retired 10 years ago".0/5 for the ambiance, 4/5 for pretty good pasta dishes.

First time here, I can say that from the customer service experience alone, it was 5 stars. I was greeted and welcomed very professionally and polite. The food choices were great as well. The atmosphere is very welcoming as well. The food was great, nothing to complain about! I would say that the food here is better thank most places in the Bay Area. And you also get to see fresh pasta being made at door-side.

We love this cozy neighborhood place for their fresh, simple, and comforting pastas! Everything is made from scratch on the spot. Staff is friendly and fun. Decor is homey and easy.Kid-friendliness: They are Italian! They have no problem with kids. I often roll in with 3-4 kids and all I see are big smiles!
