It came out covered in black pepper. I sent it back and they scraped the crust off and gave it back to me. I am insulted.

Plus, the service is fast (like you'll be eating within 10 minutes of ordering) and the dinner for two is just $33.00.

The dishes we ordered were decent, but lacked flavor. The ingredients were fresh and the service was excellent. Overall rating for the food: 3 out of 5. read more The dishes we ordered were decent, but lacked flavor. The ingredients were fresh and the service was excellent.

Food that doesn't taste good is one thing (this actually tasted alright), but this food might make you really sick.

I have concluded that the food is really freaking tasty. The portions aren?t massive for the price but, for Berkeley, it is reasonable.The food here is so delicious? I think I?m lactose intolerant but I still eat here because it?s so dang tasty? Also, there is ahappy hour special for four types of pasta. The info is listed on their website. Somebody please correct me if I?m wrong, but Idon?t think this information is reflected on their Snackpass menu. If this is the case, please do update it! I do like to orderin advance. :
