Great experience and vibe. Service was nice and helpful. The garlic dots were a popular order as I saw many people ordering. The garlic dots were buttery, garlicky, etc. i expected there to be loads of butter. I ordered the mushroom pasta which I wasn’t expecting to be so rich with butter. It was at first hard to eat until I let the pasta drained the extra butter sauce. My mom ordered the pesto pasta as is and it was good pesto, but it looks and feels like it’s lacking something, and I don’t think you should have to add anything to menu item to make it so for extra charge. It should stand on its own and shine.
Ate here for dinner with my wife for our first anniversary trip. We didn't have to wait, but the place is very small and you sit right next to others. The drinks were very good, but the food was PERFECT. My wife ordered the Alfredo which was creamy and garlicky, and I ordered the rigatoni pasta, which was also amazing. The portion size for the pasta looks small, but it is the perfect amount since pasta is so filling. HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for good pasta.
Such amazing food we had the garlic bites , meatballs and the chicken pesto panini and it was absolutely amazing! Another favorite that we will add to our list for traverse city !! ! Great food and great service !!
The only thing wrong about this place is I wish one was near me. You have to go to DT Traverse City to enjoy this restaurant.This is wonderful Italian food with some creativity. Not the same old, same old.Started off with their Caesar salad. A very light and refreshing dressing with a hint of lemon. The entree was shelled noodles with sea scallops in a tomato saffron sauce. I never order dessert but this time I wanted alittle something sweet and had their Pannacotta with berry compote and honey crumbled topping. Light and a beautiful dessert to finish off dinner.Great service, friendly staff and love the atmosphere. Is tiny so be sure to arrive early.Now for only a Flying Noodle II near Detroit. Oh well, guess back to Traverse City!
Great service and the food was fantastic!
This place is such a gem in Traverse City! The staff is wonderful, and the food….wow. Hand made pastas and sauces, all ingredients so fresh and delicious! They stick to a few main dishes and do them all justice. Make a reservation or wait for a seat at the bar…you won’t be disappointed!
The best dinner my girlfriend and I have had In a very long time! The flavors are superb and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The atmosphere was super comfortable. The prices were very decent for how amazing the food was. I would totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a solid meal. The only downside is the size of the establishment. Get in while you can, it fill up fast, and for good reason!
Absolutely EVERYTHING was amazing!The meatball appetizer melts in your mouth, the scampi was just the right amount of garlic, the mushroom shown below was a bright, spicy entree that was more fitting for spring than the rich, thick mushroom entrees normally found with pastas. Highly recommended!
Pros: food was wonderful! We loved everything.Cons: service was disappointing. At an hour mark after getting on the waitlist, we found out they had forgotten us on the list and skipped over us. There was no apology and the host was cold. It was hard to get our order in because the bartender wasn't around. The person next to us at the bar mentioned to us he'd been trying to get his attention for 20 minutes because he was missing some of his order.
AMAZING!!! We were seated right away. The service was very helpful and kind. We started with the meatball 'snack'. Perfectly seasoned meatballs and garlic bread. I had the scampi. Plentiful. There was an extreme amount of shrimp. The make their noodles on site. A must try if you are in Traverse City.
