However, the food seemed like it had been prepared in advance and merely warmed up. The pasta was overcooked, the potatoes were dry, the pasta sauce was watery, and the roasted vegetables were mushy. While the dishes were well-chosen and crafted by a skilled chef, it appears that a decision was made to pre-cook everything, which was quite disappointing. What a shame!

Occasionally, they even add a little extra treat to my order, like a dessert or a muffin for the next day. It doesn't happen every time, but now and then, when they seem to have extras available, it’s a delightful surprise. Their delicious cuisine and attentive service make you feel truly appreciated.

I still haven't found an exceptional Italian restaurant in the area. I thought the bolognese tasted more like Asian food—it had a peculiar flavor that I found unappealing. The sauce was very thin, and the taste was quite strange. I was quite disappointed. I don't understand how restaurants can struggle with sauce; it should be made with simple, fresh ingredients. Yet, many places around here seem unable to create a good sauce, let alone a great one. Perhaps I’m just spoiled from being in Brooklyn, but it’s hard to believe that none of them can get it right.

I order delivery often and they are not only on time but frequently add something extra to my order a dessert, a muffin for the next day. Not every time, but here and there, when I imagine they haveextras on hand ? not at all necessary but such a nice surprise. Their delicious food and their service make you feel cared for.
