The place started as just a pasta shop and then started cooking up its dough for lunchtime visitors. They serve up single portions of their fresh pastas with the sauce of your choice and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan on top to eat out on the sidewalk surrounding their shop. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious, filling and generous on the portion size. The basic dishes are pretty cheap, but I definitely think it's worth upgrading to the special raviolis and sauces for a few reais extra. It has a very "eating out back with the cooks" feel that I appreciate. Sitting on benches holding your bowl of pasta on your lap has a certain casual charm, however I have to detract one star for the benches that are placed over a sometimes stinky sewer and the flimsy paper containers that sometimes burn your legs with the heat transferring through too quickly. Overall a fun place to eat lunch and great place to pick up some pre-made meals for the week.
