Tortello - side

So nice to eat at a place that just focuses on simple, high quality pasta and has the actual feel of being in Italy. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe, Signature Tortelli as well as a fennel salad. I love Cacio e Pepe so was surprised when the Tortelli took the day with its subtle blend of savory and sweet. We will 100% be back.

The food was good and the pasta is genuinely made well and cooked well. The food feels authentic to Italian cuisine. However, I took half a star off because I think the food is a bit too pricey for the quality you get in terms of location and experience. I took off another half star because I think the tables are way too close together, preventing cohesive conversation.

We ordered a chef’s special dinner for 2 and then a few pasta dishes on the side including the beef ragu. The entire meal was delicious and wonderful. I do think the portions are small by American standards but we prefer quality over quantity so we were fine with that. The pasta textures were perfect, the focaccia with whipped ricotta was to die for and the eggplant salad was a perfect balance of bitter greens and sweet marinated eggplant. Can’t wait to eat here again.

Delicious pasta! I've had the pappardelle and tagliatelle pasta before. I've also had the fennel and burrata verdure. All were very good.

The squid ink pasta fococcia bread with honey/ricotta was literally everything I needed.
