    Seafood pasta special
    Amanda L.

    I had such a wonderful time here. It's a small restaurant with a casual vibe and lots of local regulars. You can see the open kitchen and all of the cooking while you wait. The menu is simple with daily specials but everything is crafted with care and tremendous technique. Handmade pastas, sauces, and high quality ingredients. I see people dining in and also taking food for dinner. We were given house made foccacia while we waited and had two whole plates of this! It was delicious, soft, and went well with the oil and vinegar at the table. We had the seafood pasta, lasagna with meatballs, and finished with panacotta and an americano. The quality and cook on the seafood was incredible. The clams, mussels, octopus, and shrimp were all perfectly cooked and incredibly fresh. You can really taste the difference. Lasagna layers were so impressive and a perfect amount of sauce. The meatballs were delicious with raisins providing a mellow sweetness. Dessert was a perfect cap to our lunch. Coffee was strong and the panacotta was lightly sweet, creamy, and brightened with orange. Mollie and her staff were incredibly kind. We will absolutely be back!

    Meatballs. Amazeballs - literally might be their name. Worth it.

    Mollie and Ali...we love you. Amazing visit with my folks for early Mother's Day and my dad's birthday. Your food and experience are without equal and I will treasure this forever. And yes, will we be back? Happily and yes. You two are the perfect team. We love you, and we will see you again soon!! Ashleigh

    Fresh pasta with marinara sauce, vegan.

    What a hidden gem. We were driving up to Santa Barbara and I googled vegan options on our route. This place is right off the highway and easy to get to. We walked in to a friendly staff, the aroma of garlic, and fresh pasta was being made, it was the perfect place. I couldn't decide between the minestrone and the lentil soup, she suggested I get both mixed together, it was amazing!! I also got a platter of their just made fresh pasta with a marinara sauce. If I'm ever in the area again, I will for sure return.

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Yes! There is always at least one. But you might want to call and see if she has gluten free pasta the day you are going as her GF pasta is awesome!

They have a Korean fusion menu which elevates the flavors. They actually make the spaghetti, fettuccine and pappardelle pasta in house. I won the lotto finding this hidden gem. I also love the concept of creating your own dish with all the great choices they have. Different sauces, proteins, veggies and spice levels. They also have specialty pasta dishes, ravioli and small 8" Roman Artisan Pizzas! How fun! There is something for every one and every age group. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. For my first time I decided to pick a low key pasta dish. Pappardelle with the rose sauce - no add-ons or spices added. I took it to go and it traveled well. It comes with a seasoned slice of toast. I was very impressed with the taste of the sauce and the quality of the pasta. Next time I'm going to try the creamy truffle mushroom pasta. I was welcomed by a very nice young gentleman with a big smile and he was very helpful. I wish I asked for his name. The woman at the front was also very sweet and friendly. The restaurant has ample seating, very clean and spacious. Casual feel. I literally can't wait to bring my husband and son back up here to have them try it out. Highly recommend giving them a try! WOW is right!

Luckily our group had about 6-8 people so we were able to try quite a bit of the food. Glapponese - Ground pork, garlic, bacon, soy sauce for pasta. Very strong umami in this. It's for when you'd like a simple pasta with meat and nothing too overpowering. Tarako - Cod roe and nori. This is another simple pasta when you'd like something with a strong salty flavor but want to mostly enjoy the texture of the pasta, which was soft and chewy btw. If you want a familiar Japanese flavor, this is the one to order Carbonara - A very familiar pasta in case you want to stay on the safe side. They still make it very delicious and creamy if you're in a simple mood for an Italian style pasta Keema Curry - This is where you start going for a more complex taste for your pasta. If you can't decide if you want an Italian or Japanese pasta, combine the tastes with pasta in curry Service I feel can be a bit more attentive. When they sat 6 of us down first, there were only 5 settings, so it seemed pretty natural to bring us a sixth set of utensils. But when we realized they missed it, we ended asked them. Not a big deal. But when our remaining two friends came, they sat them with us and brought out only 1 set of utensils, so we had to ask for it again. Just a small detail that had me a bit confused during the experience, but the food itself was great and we'd love to come back when they reopen

They don't have a full bar but wine & beer are available, so I had a Hugo Spritz. It was refreshing & tasty. We were lucky that our reservations were at 6 pm, so we could partake in The Parmigiano Wheel Experience (daily from 5:30 - 7 pm). The dish is prepared at the center of the restaurant so all guests can get a view of the Cacio e Pepe being made to order and the delicious smell that fills the restaurant. At $24 it's a bargain, so we had that along with Linguine al Frutti di Mare ($31) and the Insalata Mista Stagionale $17. The Cacio e Pepe was Chef's Kiss! The Linguine was al dente, the sauce was delish, and the seafood was fresh. The salad was also incredibly good - mixed greens with California yellow peaches, caramelized pecans, crumbled goat cheese, & a pomegranate dressing. It was a special but should be on regular rotation. For dessert we shared the Tiramisu and it did not disappoint. A few weeks later I returned. Our server, Carlos, was fantastic! An absolute delight. This time we ordered: Fritto Misto ($22), Pane e Olio ($8), Insalata Mista Stagionale ($18), Spaghetti Al Limoncello (Special $38), Cacio e Pepe ($24), Chicken Parmigiana ($29), Ricotta Cheesecake Brûlée ($14), & Limoncello Cake. Everything was molto delizioso!
