    The pasta was doughy and had an odd flavor. More concerning were the serious hygiene issues: staff wore bandaids without gloves while handling food and touching plates (a health code violation), and I received dirty cutlery three times. I was genuinely looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately I won’t be returning. Paid over $60 for a subpar experience, and it was sadly a waste of money. While the staff was kind and welcoming, the food quality and hygiene standards were unacceptable.

    Ordered the penne vodka sauce pasta with meatballs and it was extremely salty, I was looking forward to trying out a new place in Cambridge but unfortunately this one was not good. I was not able to finish the pasta at all due to it just being salty in every bite :(

    Great food: starters, salads and pasta. Very friendly staff. We came as strangers, we left as friends.

    Ordered the spaghetti bolognese. The noodles were very soggy and overcooked, leaving a doughy taste. I usually love all pasta, but I truly couldn’t eat more than a couple bites of this. It looked nothing like the pictures and it barely had any meat sauce on it. Not to mention, this was $23. Please save your money.
