We make sure to dine at this amazing little gem every time we visit NYC. Its out of the main tourist area but totally worth the short ride there. Fresh pasta, meat and seafood dishes. Staff is #1
I loooooved this restaurant so much the first time I went, that I came back the weekend after! Their Bottarga Spaghetti is simply amazing. Aside from their delicious fresh pastas, their wine list is crazy and the service is on point. They were also nice enough to make us an affogato at our request even though its not on the menu (ask for the chocolate hazelnut gelato!)
Very fresh pasta with great service
Good pastas. I liked my Fettuccine with veal ragu.
$21 lunch included 1 small salad and a plate of extremely salty pasta. Bland food. This was the regular lunch menu, not restaurant week menu which charges $8 extra and adds a tiny dessert.
Simple, fresh dishes and very pleasant staff and owners. A true UWS staple and a must to visit if in UWS. Reasonably priced fresh homemade pasta, salads and minestrone soup. No lunch special on weekends 😢. Atmosphere is wonderful, relaxing and cozy.
Great food, fast and friendly service, amazing Italian specials! The gnocchi was delicious 😋
Arco Cafe has the right mix to stand the test of time. It maintains high standards for dining. It is a restaurant to be repeated.We like going here with guests from the local area and also as a top pick for those traveling to NY from afar.
Went here with 2 who had lived with me in Italy a number of years ago- wed heard great things from fellow friends who had lived in Rome, so we were excited to trek out to Arco Cafe and enjoy a Saturday night meal.
The gnocchi alla montanara is THE BEST gnocchi in the city. Really wish the service would improve to match the quality of the food.Edit: I recently went back for dinner and was impressed by the great service!
$21 lunch included 1 small salad and a plate of extremely salty pasta. Bland food. This was the regular lunch menu, not restaurant week menu which charges $8 extra and adds a tiny dessert.
I came for the $21 lunch menu, and had minestrone and the gnocchi. I had to add quite a bit of salt to the minestrone for my tastes - but it was clearly good high quality minestrone. Ill probably try something else next time just to diversify, but once the weather cools off more and I crave soup I know how much salt to add now. The gnocchi.... Delicious!! Easily the best Ive had - Id all but given up on gnocchi because I just havent been too thrilled with it anywhere else Ive tried it, but Ill definitely get it again at Arco! I finished up with a pound of the fresh spaghetti noodles to go, which we used at home and - surprisingly - even my kids loved them! Arco is a little more pricey than what Id typically go for, but I look forward to coming back on occasion!
The woman who had been running the front of house earlier was nowhere to be found on the way out, so there was no manager/host to offer feedback to. Definitely not going to return for a retry due to the unapologetically slack service.
So beautiful place. The staff were very friendly and polite. The food was very delicious. High quality service.
Lovely Italian restaurant with fresh pasta an emphasis on Sardinian dishes. Great wine list, friendly service, and great outdoor dining enclosure.
The housemade pasta is very good! Next time I would ask for al dente. Fagioli (pictured) was immaculate
I ordered the branzino, mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe. OMG delicious 😋 😍 would refer this restaurant and i would order again.JUST DARN GOOD 👍 👌
Wonderful restaraunt. Everything is homemade. We enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent. Would eat here again 100x over!
Love it! Freshest pasta we have had. Mediterranean salad was great too. Glad to find this gem in the neighborhood!
Excellent restaurant that feels like home. We’ve gone three weekends in a row. Can’t stay away! Menu is varied and well planned. We’ve had the fish, the ragu, the carbonara and of course the bread is worth the visit in itself. We also stop in to buy fresh pasta for home. Incredible. Thankful they made it through 2020!
First time in NYC, had Arco for lunch.Excellent service and food!Very pleased and would highly recommend!
Any pasta dish from heres gonna be super good! If you order takeout online and use the discount code its very affordable. Havent dined in but the outdoor seating is super cute!
I have dined here several times. Beforr the last time I would have rated 4 stars. Last time my fish was overcooked and sides were meh. Service attentive and owners are nice. Likely just an off night.
Had the best lunch here! They make their own pastas and had a delicious brussel sprout salad with shrimp. Cute outdoor tables and lovely service.
Very tasty Sardinian resto. Had kale salad w generous serving of salmon. Restsurant not large, has outdoor seating enclosed with plastic panels. A bit warm on a humid evening, could use some fan to move air. Dining partner had ricotta cheesecake for dessert.
I ordered the cacio e pepe delivery and it was extremely fast, took about 20 minutes. well worth it.
Thank you from the heart Arco Café for a lovely night and a great meal. We were moving our son and daughter in law to New York and discovered you are just around the corner. So happy for Francesca and her family what they have created here. The food was first class, the service personal. We loved everything we ordered. Gnocchi alla Montanara, Seafood pasta, Burrata e Prosciutto, Culurgiones Bolognese Sauce, Branzino, Torta Ricotta e Pistacchio, Sebada, Keep rockin!
Im giving it five stars to be fair, but I must have just passed this place never went in
The Pasta is still great, but the starter (Caprese) was not good at all. The tomato tasted like water and it was a cheap Mozzarella. Also the wait times for the food were quite long.
The service was excellent. It was a Friday night and every table was full. The food was delicious. My friend loved the Minestrone and my Mediterranean Salad was fresh. I had the Fregola. Its a round roasted pasta with mussels and baby octopus in a tomato broth (more of a sauce). Really good and unique.Small wine list but some good choices. Looking forward to trying more options.
Truly one of the best, freshest handmade pastas I have had in the city. Easily the best takeout order I have ever ordered. The food arrived unbelievably piping hot. I ordered the Pellizzas al Ragu di Manzo e Maiale and Mediterranea salad which were both delicious and the rosemary bread was perfect. 10/10 would recommend and will order again.
We went back to Arco, long a family-run local favorite, shortly after indoor dining was allowed again. It was great as always — food, service, atmosphere — and reassuring with all the safety measures in place, including distanced tables. Can’t beat the fresh pasta, spun out right there in the front window, and the handmade sauces. Try the Brussels sprout salad to go along. NYC is coming back.
I am a native sardinian and this place feels like home to me. Authentic sardinian dishes, great location and friendly service. I particularly recommend their homemade malloreddus and culurgionis. You can also find seadas, the traditional sardinian dessert, and many other great dishes!
When arrived I was suspicious, the menu has misspellings and the candles are fake (in my experience these are bad signals). The olive oil and balsamic vinegar they give with the house bread are very bad. The main dishes are not too bad, the potato gnocchi is okay and the tomato based sauces are good.Very nice service in general, Id give them a second chance.
Very cozy and quiet spot. The food was very fresh and delicious. They make their own homemade pasta. Highly recommend it!
Im not even a pasta fan or Italian food fan, but I loved it. I got the one vegan pasta option, and it was delicious. My family went there (table for 7!) and it was really cozy, and we felt very comfortable there. The employees are very kind and caring. Thank you!
One of my favorite Italian places in the city. Tastes great and portions are just right. The staff are all very friendly and are always willing to offer recommendations. Weekday lunch specials give you the best deals, but Id happily dine here any time.
Hi! Ive been to Arco several times and I feel like I am in a Italian / Mediterranean hideout. They have great food, affordable prices, I encourage you to go for lunch! The staff is sweet and aims to make me and my guests feel comfortable...in this day and age, thats rare. So, I truly appreciate it :)
Our favorite Sardinian - and Italian cuisine in the City. Their lunch prix fixe menu is an amazing deal. Always quality food and great company!
Excellent food. This is my #1 choice for when I want to celebrate by going somewhere nicer. Many healthy options. Nice wine selection. I know very little about wine (other than that I like it) and the staff were really helpful in letting me taste to decide.
Food was bland, and they automatically add a 20 % tip. One doesnt know this because they dont show you details when they bring the charge for you to sign. Sneaky
When you walk in to an Italian restaurant in this day and age and hear Italian actually being spoken, you know youre in the right place.This nice woman that greeted us so warmly owns and works this restaurant. She is so nice and welcoming.The food is superb and not expensive. The gnocchi are homemade and are the best Ive ever had.The seafood dishes are so fresh and the Sardegnian bread was amazing.I will always go back to this little jewel and will be sure to tell everyone I know to go too.....Great meal and atmospherd for the money
The quality and the flavor of the food, undoubtedly reminds that of typical Sardinian cuisine. Service is extremely fast and friendly. Highly recommended
My go-to Italian restaurant with food, ambience and service better than places that charge twice as much. The house made pastas are outstanding and the $12 two-course lunch deal is unbeatable. I go back again and again for the comforting food and friendly service.
Come here often. Recently had my fathers 80th birthday party there. Ive had most things on the menu. Never had a bad experience or meal. I recommend the calvitali with broccoli rabe and sausage. The olive oil cake is amazing. This is a great little spot with lovely people that own and run it.
Great deal, $12 lunch includes an appetizer and an entree. Very good value, definitely coming back. We had brushetta and mussels stew-was excellent and pasta dishes were great as well.
High quality service. The staff were very friendly..
Ordered through Seamless. Food took waaaaaaay longer than it should have. I called to complain, they apologized. A few mins later, my food arrived - they sent a woman who must’ve been either a manager or waitress. I really appreciated that gesture - they were backed up and went out of their way for me. Great food and nice people (much nicer than I was on the phone - sorry about that). Thank you! Will order again.
It’s hard to find high quality food in this specific area of the UWS but Arco is a hidden gem! Go for the gnocchi with mushrooms and pancetta. Cozy, comforting, quiet, and service is friendly. Definitely not buzzy or exciting but perfect for a low key dinner.
Expensive and overpriced for what they offer. My waitress seemed kind of snippy and not very attentive.
Came here only because of good reviews. What I got? Completely blank and tasteless pasta. They asked if I want cheese. Do you have any idea how much cheese you need to put?It shouldnt be just a decoration. I wasnt even were able to tell what kind of cheese it was. Glass for water was dirty. I am waiting for my espresso and desert for 20 minutes already. No tiramisu. Seriously? Are you italian food restaurant? Desert was good, espresso and vine also. Only because of that second star.
Arco Cafe is a cozy spot in Harlem with tasty italian food. We ordered the sardignian pasta and the sea food pasta. The sardignian was really good and the sea food one was correct. Good sizes and nice service. Overall is good and reasonably priced.
I come from Sardinia and I can say this is a real Sardinian restaurant. The food is very good, the owners very hospitable and nice, and the location is cozy. For me it was a place where to go when I felt homesick; it gives a chance to taste delicious Sardinian food without traveling!A menzus biede cun salude! :-)
Reviews are a bit decieving, was disappointed with the portion of food I ordered compared to bread I was given. Bloody Mary was missing flavor and most importantly vodka. 3 stars because the ambiance was nice.
My friends, Robert and Leslie took me to Arco just a few days ago, hoping I would love it. They were right! I have been at Arco 3 days running; two dinners and a lunch, once with my two friends, lunch with a fellow photographer (mlle) from Paris and tonight, by mysef. All these events were a success! Good, quiet service, friendly and the food was very good. The dinner special on the first night was Special! Grilled calamari and accompaniments was first rate. The grilled salmon was as ordered. For lunch the next day I tried the mussel stew and was not disappointed. Tonight I dined alone, had a nice conversation with your representative from Israel. she guided me to an Italian beer on tap to go with the grilled baby octopus. Spicy and delicious. She happily permitted me to sample a few white wines before I chose the Friuli to go with my order of pasta with clams. And I liked it so much I requested a doggy bag for later.A perfect, strong cappucino ended the meal and I left, a happy (old) puppy!Do not be surprised if you see me there soon, for more Arco goodies!Len
Cozy and nice place. Foods are always fresh.Handmade pasta is highly recommended!
Lovely place (ambiance and personnel). Food is excellent and with reasonable prices. My favourite dishes are: pane guttiau, gnocchi gratinati, orata with kale, branzino with broccoli rabe, mush potatoes and torta della nonna.
High quality service.
Probably best cup of rich espresso coffee Ive had. Pasta also very good. A real Italian experience
Service was inattentive, at best. Appetizer took over a half hour after ordering. One of the pasta dishes, once it finally arrived, was room temperature.
They offer an awesome range of fresh food. I love eating here. Staff members are always very welcoming, prices are affordable and the spot is always well organised.
Lovley little place. Had a couple of pasta dishes which both tasted wonderful, though the gnocci had some chunks of fat on the meat... Service could have been better and seemed a little distracted. Very dim lights, but the food makes up for it :)
Delicious!!! The dumplings and fresh made pasta were amazing.
Great experience, the food was good and the service was excellent. The food was so delicious I forgot to take pictures. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Tasteless, bland food in small portions masquerading as Italian/Sardinian cuisine. The wine was overpriced as well. There are plenty of better Italian Restaurants on Amsterdam.
Tasty vegan marshmallows, smores and other goodies. A while back I had purchased a Groupon that could only be redeemed through the website or at their factory in Long Island City (you have to order in advance by phone). I opted for the factory pick-up. When I got there, I was greeted by Sara herself and she truly could not have been nicer. We spent quite a bit of time chatting, then she gave me my order and a few complimentary pieces of her biscotti. When you find a product you like, its even better when you find that you like the person who makes it.Whether youre vegan or otherwise, Sweet & Sara makes delicious stuff.
Great food, friendly staff. Prices are reasonable for an Italian restaurant in NYC. Try the Lunch Special during weekdays. It is totally worth the price. I super recommend this place.
What to say the Arco Cafe is just incredibly authentic! Food is great! Original tastes ! The staff is warm and welcoming and Daniele is certainly the kind of waiter you like to have at your table! Thank you for the experience !!!! 🤗🤗
A cozy family restaurant with honest food and a great value. The service was very good and the foods on the spectrum of well made and modest with the carbonara being on the weak side. All in all Id definitely recommend 🍝
Best Italian food Ive had in a long time. Very friendly staff!
Would have been 5 stars for food and drink. But i marked them down for not serving draft beer even though tbey have a tap on the bar (which apparently doesnt work, but then, why not remove it and dont lure people in?)
Amazing. Great vibes. Pasta is handmade and delicious. Servers are very nice. Everything is fresh and perfect.
Really delicious, authentic Italian food. The pasta was exactly al dente. And the affogato was so decadent!
Delicious, clean and pleasant service. The best part is the Fantastico meals,home made cavatelli with sausage and rabe. Finish with affogatto and dark chocolate cake. Your welcome
Good quality of food and good prices.
Nice place, worth a visit, but the food was not as good as expected. My starter was a great portion, but it wasnt warmed up enough and costed more than my entrée. Cacio e pepe is not exceptional, rather ok.Our waiter was really kind and thoughtful, need to mention! !
Great restaurant on the upper west side The gnocchi is delectable, but really everything our table ordered was fantastic. 5 stars!
Andate a New York ? Non potete fare a meno di cenare ad Arco Cafe. Cibi gustosi e ottimo vino vi faranno passare una serata indimenticabile . 5 stelle per Arco Cafe!Are you going to New York? Well you cannot miss Arco cafe then! A delicious typical Sardinian menu with selected wine from this beautiful island will make your evening a special event. This little restaurant is decorated with charm and taste. Service is impeccable, food is homemade cuisine with fresh pasta that taste as it should taste real Italian pasta. Its truly good stuff!!. The two brothers Francesca and Daniele willMake you feel at home.
Visited with one of my Sardinian friends. The food and wine was very good. Only took a star off because when I asked for more bread the response was More bread!?
Terrible experience.. waitress was rushing us for the food and later the bill, eventually she asked us to leave as soon as we payed.. I saw the reviews and thought it was a decent place, but unfortunately turned out to be one of my worst experiences ever
I love coming to Arco for a delicious lunch with friends. It is sufficiently quiet so that you can have great conversations, the service is impeccable and the the prixe fixed lunch unbeatable!
They have the website open to order. I placed an order, and was charged to my card. I arrived to the place and surprise! Is closed.
If youre looking for a unique experience in a perfect upper west side location, this is the place for you. Enjoyed the music, atmosphere, friendly staff, and incredible food. Highly recommend.
Authentic Italian cucine !!Excellent Service .Highly recommended For New Yorkers and tourists.
Fantastic food and lovely staff. The gnocchi is the best I’ve ever had!
Really amazing food. They make their own pasta and it is delicious. The other food is really good too.
They are authentic , they are personable and the food is wonderful. Support our great neighborhood restaurants!!
Awesome atmosphere, no TV, and great people to connect with whether local or out of towners the staff makes you feel warm and invited. A small piece of Italy on the upper Westside.
The gnocchi is just so good. Kind of on the expensive side ($8 for a side of kale??) but its worth it.
Warm atmosphere, good service and authentic food. Willing to make a dish for me to suit my vegetarian diet. Coffee is a must!
This place was the best! I felt like I was in Italy again. The handmade gnocchi alla montanara was fabulous. The prices were reasonable too.
I felt homesick and decided to go in this Italian place for dinner. Authentic Italian style dishes. Great Moscardini!
Cozy, relaxed environment. Delicious gnocchi, salads, wine, and cacio e pepe! Very nice staff.
I feel deceived by the reviews. The food was very bland and not worth their price point. The noisy neighbors smoking and loitering around the restaurant didnt help either.
Wonderful place everything was delicious. My baby octopus was a little tough, but forgivable. This is my second time coming and I will come again.
Excellent service and beautiful room
Yummy pasta. Good wine. Service friendly...not necessarily the fastest, but, hey, the place was packed. A definite go-back-to.
Wonderful Sardinian cuisine, great personal service!
Great food and great service. Their lasagna special is at least in the top five of the best lasagna Ive ever had.
Highly recommended
Very very good! They offer real Italian food. Everything is delicious!
Such a cute gem near central park. The pasta is amazing!
💕
Food was good, service was great. Affordable lunch. The accomodated a large graduation party.
Wonderful appetizers, not very delicate pasta. Gluey gnocchi!
The mirto prosecco cocktail was delicious
Great gnocchi, loved it. The chocolate lava cake was also top notch.
Extremely affordable and delicious brunch place. Outdoor seating. Recommend the salmon Benedict.
Great food and Sardinian style pasta dishes hereplus wine is cheap on wednesdays
The customer service is consistently prompt, excellent atmosphere, friendly staff members. I will visit again when I arrive nearby.
Quaint little spot, good food, decent service

A place where you can taste flavours of Sardinia. Delicious dishes and kind staff.
Fabulous neighborhood restaurant! Super staff, excellent food, good prices and deals!
Really enjoyed Arco. Good food and friendly service!
Nice rustic place. The omelette I ordered was good.
Good food, friendly service, moderate prices. Very uncomfortable chairs.
Very good food. I was afraid to get kicked out for being a DS but I survived.
Amazing atmosphere! Perfect for deep conversations, dont forget to tip your waiter!
Lovely new casual Italian restaurant with great pasta and a pleasant bar.
Great neighborhood Italian food. The ricotta cavatelli is where its at.
Service wasnt great. They ran out of bread for a dish that really required bread. Wine glasses where shitty.
Good food, service kind of slow. Please get a legit double door for winter.
Food excellent and friendly service, family owned
Amazing gnocchi, cheap wine on Wednesdays!
Love the food! Every dish is amazing!!!!!

Good food.
Excellent pasta
Very nice restaurant right in front of the Hi NY city hostel in the upper west where you can enjoy a delicious dinner with homemade dishes from Italy. I ate some noodles with carbonara and a delicious glass of wine for 38 uss. I will come back when I go to New York again and I stay in that hostel, without hesitation!
I ate in Arco on my first visit to New York City in 2019.Two years later I returned to the United States and it was my very first stop!The food is exquisite, every time I eat in this place it feels like home (in Italy), not to mention the Sardinian specialties they really deserve.Everything is fresh and genuine, as well as homemade by them.The staff are friendly, warm and super nice.The restaurant is impeccably clean and is strategically located for visiting Manhattan.The prices are low due to the very high quality of the food and the staff.A real guarantee. One of my favorite places ever!
El servicio fue impecable, el personal ha sido súper amable y el café muy rico.
Restaurant of Italian cuisine and in particular with foods from Sardinia, easily accessible by metro (located between two stops) a stones throw from Central Park.Quiet environment, attentive service, unobtrusive music, no TV (how nice !!), I absolutely recommend a stop for lunch where you can sit at a clean and quiet table and choose from a varied menu of dishes at a cost of only 13/14 dollars , in my opinion the best value for money for a lunch in the city, excellent homemade pasta. At dinner the menu is less cheap but still largely in line with NY prices, while still maintaining excellent value for money.There is also a good choice of wines, a must for anyone who needs a true Italian meal that is not camouflaged. in conclusion absolutely recommended.
Great! Compliments! Culurgioni (gnocchi), baby octopus, moules, were out of this world! Lovely subtle differences between the various sauces. Great service, too.
We stayed in this restaurant for dinner with friends. The food is genuine and the pasta is homemade. Braised with polenta is excellent. The staff is attentive and kind. A special thanks to Giuseppe!
A nice place, quiet, with Italian food and particularly well cooked Sardinian, discreet and unobtrusive service, average prices for NY but that become convenient in relation to the quality of the dishes served. Absolutely competitive the lunch menu from Monday to Friday, you risk paying a more than decent meal less than a sandwich maybe eaten in a hurry after you queue to order it. Believe me its not easy to find a place in Manhattan where you can sit down and eat a meal with $ 12 or so, and its easy to reach by metro, being just a short distance from two stops on two different lines. It is worth moving from anywhere in the city. Recommended
All the working people are very friendly, and the Italian cuisine is delicious~~~I went to famous burgers, pizzas, steaks, etc. throughout my trip, but there is no place as comfortable, friendly and delicious as this place.If you are staying nearby, I recommend you to visit it.
Right in front of the hostel. The pasta is so thin at night that it is visited.I do homemade noodles, but it was not my style to feel the flour texture.The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is goodFeelin good with Jameson31112
All very good, homemade pasta. Super
Sardinians or non-Sardinians ... if you are Italian, the Arco Cafè is a must see in New York. You eat well ... more welcomed with a smile ... what more do you want? Enjoy your stay and above all ... Buon Appetito !!!
5 stars are not enough for this place. We were there on one evening occasions over the vacation period, and it was the biggest restaurant-level find in NYC. Superb menu, place and costs!
A quiet place to enjoy with the family
Nice place that offers Sardinian cuisine adapted to American cuisine. Great staff, casual and nice place for a dinner with friends or a cocktail

2021-11-16Very very good Italian food. They have vegetarian options, and I highly recommend the Tiramisu!The hostess was very kind even though we came in pretty close to closing..
Review №2
2021-08-03Incredibly real Italian food restaurant.When a restaurant is run by its owners, it shows.The service was great. They were making fresh pasta right there.You can tell a restaurant is top notch when you kids buttered noodles are out of the world. I toss noodles in butter and dont get anything close to what he had. My Fregola Mare e Monti had three humongous shrimp. The gnocchi were light, pillow-y and delicious. The pasta with mushrooms and cream tasted like mushroom and cream.We had the Sebada for dessert, which was a perfect savory-sweet balance.Will be definitively coming back for more.

2022-02-22Thank you, owner and chef, for giving us a taste of Sardinia in Noe Valley. Ive never had Sardinian food before, but its quite incredible. Very fresh, very healthy.What a nice surprise! Great food, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable prices. This is why I love NY: finding a neighborhood gem at which you simply want to try everything.Came as hungry as a bear after winter. Left as plump as an IT worker after Diwali. I highly recommend Arco Cafe.

2022-02-06From the moment we walked in, I knew this place was special. Very warm vibe from the owners and staff and lots of happy customers enjoying their dinners. My boyfriend reserved our table for my birthday because we are planning a trip to Sardinia. What better way to get a taste of our trip beforehand. I still cant believe we got in on relatively short notice (a few weeks) on a Thursday night. And Arco Cafe did not disappoint.
Review №5
2022-02-04The food here is incredible. I came here with my parents and there were plenty of outdoor seating options. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and many courses centered around seafood and pasta. The gnocchi and the salmon were spectacular.

2022-06-18Amazing food and atmosphere, it made me feel like I was back in Nuoro, Sardinia. The seada was delicious, highly recommend!

2022-05-07Always great! Best pasta and amazing side dishes as well. Never disappointed.
Review №8
2022-02-22AMAZING!!! I came from Vallejo just to try this restaurant. I was not disappointed one bit. The food is fresh and very well prepared. You MUST order the zupetta!!! The gnocchi was insanely good! The chef gave me an anchovy on top of a dollop of ricotta with toasted almonds, which blew my mind. I ordered Sardinian beer which punctuated the meal very nicely.
Review №9
2022-02-14A beautiful dining experience.Arco Cafe might be my favorite Italian restaurant in NY. One of the best things about it is that they serve regional Sardinian cuisine, meaning you will get a chance to try a lot of unique dishes you might not have previously encountered.

2021-08-02AMAZING!!! Best pasta I had in a long time! Everything was delicious and the service was great.
