Tiny pasta joint on the corner of a block, with window service only. We got two different dishes, both were great with generous portions. The sauces, meatballs, and noodles were all excellent, definitely recommend. Just make sure you know where you'll be eating your food because they have no seating available.

Take out only. Soooo gooooood!! I ordered as a walk up at the window and assumed I’d be waiting 10 min minimum, but….theze noodles guys….Fresh noodles only take a few minutes to boil, so thrown in a pan with some sauce and the pasta is ready in about 5 min! Got the bolo (bolognese) and cheesecake of the moment (almond this time). Both were fabulous, I am very impressed and hope to get to eat there again!

We learned of this place from some online guides and decided to give it a try. We had two different pastas: the pistou and the fettucini. Both were fantastic. The portions are generous and certainly filling. Everything tasted extremely fresh (because it is) as they are cooked and made when ordered! Side note: I asked about the pesto ingredients as often pesto is made with cashews which I am allergic to. The gentleman who took our order kindly informed us that there are neither cashews or pine nuts in their pesto! Our pastas were neatly packaged in a brown paper bag with napkins and forks, and brought out to us in a very timely manner! We are excited to go back and try more of their pastas and give their pizzas a go.

I'm already head over heels in love with the carbonara from here but I went yesterday for restaurant week and I must say the kale salad was the star of the show! It was so flavorful from the confit tomatoes and the dressing. Absolutely wonderful. This place is a must try.

Definitely a gem on Norfolk's restaurant row. Overall I thought our dining experience was great. Seated next to the open kitchen I was able to watch the chef work in harmony with his staff. This is something I really appreciated. For appetizers we started with the Bruschetta and Toasted Bread caprese salad. Overall good dishes our only complaint would be the tomatoes on the Bruschetta were a little seedy and out of season using a small tomato like the salad would be suggested. Also both would have been fantastic with a balsamic glaze drizzle. Our main dishes were the Fish 🐠 of the day which was a halibut with a chutney sauce. My wife thought the chutney was a little over bearing for the dish but that was her personal opinion. My dish was a pasta dish with a Spinach pasta, fish, which was
