Although this restaurant is a chain, I have never heard of it. Being curious I looked up the translation and found that its namesake is a certain type of egg pasta from the northern region of Italy in the shape of a long flat ribbon.
We visited the restaurant
on a Friday night with a party of seven and while expecting a wait, they were
pretty efficient in getting people seated.
It must be a trend with us lately as we noticed it seems like it takes
forever to have the server finally come take our order after being seated but,
as I mentioned it was the weekend and they were pretty busy, in addition to it
recently opening, so I'll try not to be too critical. The wait staff was equipped with electronic
tablets when they took were order.
Bread in form of small
rolls was served along with an oil dipping concoction. We added salt, pepper and parmesan to our
blend and it was easy to fill up. The
menu showed that you ordered by choosing your style of pasta and sauce which
gave you several varieties. I started
with a caesar salad which was unlike any caesar I had ordered before. It was made with mixed greens instead of
romaine and also included tomatoes.
Since I'm not a tomato lover, my husband helped himself and said they
were delicious. The dressing was not
typical either, more on the vinegrette side.
I went with the beef
ravioli and bolognese sauce. I was
surprised by the portion and size of the pies.
My pasta, in my opinion, was Al dente and while that's not a bad thing,
it just not my preference. I guess I was
expecting the typical fare and the food here turned out to be served uniquely
which is good to experience occasionally.
The sauce was good having a slight sweetness.
The servings were very
plentiful and we tried a variety of dishes.
All in all it was a pleasant family dining experience and I'm sure we'll
be returning. Visited 2/28/14
