Good food and great service. Very fresh. It’s a bit expensive but the portions are just right. Will probably go back and try other dishes as well. We got the salad and a pita wrap.

I had the cheese experience – and WOW. They make the pasta fresh in-house and then toss it right in a giant cheese wheel to create the Alfredo sauce. It’s creamy, rich, and unbelievably flavorful. You can literally taste the quality and love in every bite....Read More

We saw an Instagram post. So we wanted to try something different. My wife got the Mighty Noodles with chicken and I got the cheese wheel pasta with House Alfredo and meatballs 😋. We were very pleased.

Great find for us. The bowls and the pita sandwich are all great. The hosts gave us free samples of freshly made pasta tossed on a big block of Parmesan cheese - delicious! Service is very prompt to.

The food is good and relatively healthy. Service is friendly and fast. Plenty of vegetarian options. Update 9/10/25: Good food, but today I paid $9 for 4 small falafels and a thimble of hummus. A little over priced for a side.

Pretty delicious Mediterranean food with fresh ingredients. Can't beat that. I loved the mango lemonade and strawberry lemonade my boyfriend got. It was perfectly sweeten, which is code for not that sweet whatsoever. However the restroom could use some improvement.

Pasta was hand made and the alfredo is from the cheese wheel. Only thing that would make it better is if it was a little more al dente and minus the lemon in the alfredo. Brussels sprouts and cauliflower is a must. Meatballs are delicious...Read More

We came on a Friday for an early dinner and we’re very happy with their cheese wheel pasta. Both me and my girlfriend created our own and were in love with the delicious flavor of our pastas.
