An authentic blend of traditional Italian ingredients to purchase with a cafe that offers a fresh eatery experience. The customer service can benefit for those whom had booked ahead of time but can be better for those who arrive without one, though with the popular cafe it’s to be expected so it’s taken with a grain of salt. The food tasted incredible, with stored-sourced ingredients for their dishes made as authentic as any Italian dishes you may had tasted. However, for a “large” $28 dollars pasta, the child-sized portion, without any sight of mushroom or basil unless asked for with additional cost, can be disappointing with the price paid.

I ordered the chicken Cotoletta (chicken cutlet), prosciutto, grana Padano which was nothing like I thought it would be. Just like a chicken schnitzel with the prosciutto and grated cheese on top. No sauce or side salad, nothing but the dry chicken. For $29 I expected a little more than that. Some gravy or a tomato salsa would have been nice. Better to get a meal at a pub. Also wasn't a fan of their menu. Was hardly anything much to choose from. Will not be going back there again. Very disappointing and expensive...
