They also offer a wonderful selection of desserts and espresso to top off your meal. Plus, there’s a gender-neutral restroom available!

Unfortunately, our server had limited English skills, making it difficult for us to get explanations about the menu when we had questions. While the penne was well-prepared, it was a bit on the salty side. Additionally, they charged an extra $8 for just three shrimp. I didn't try the dessert myself, but I heard it was the highlight of the meal.
