I highly recommend the night time pasta class. Show up early if you want a private table. And don’t knead your dough too much (I made that mistake but my wife didn’t and her pasta was way better). The complimentary appetizer and dessert were also great!

My husband and I did the pasta cooking class and had the best time. The restaurant is really cute and they provide you with everything you need to make the pasta of your choice. Highly recommend bringing a bottle of wine that they’ll open for you, but if you forget there’s a liquor store next door. Great service and perfect date night. Would do this again!

This has been my favorite part of San Diego! The Asparagus Sausage fettuccine was divine and all the flavors blended really well. The Mascarpone & Crudo was equally delicious! The crispy prosciutto bits went amazing on top of the ravioli! We signed up for a cooking class so we got to eat the pasta we made. It was such an amazing experience!

Ok, let me start by saying all the wonderful things about this place! The food that I've had in the past is awesome. And recently we took a class to learn how to make pasta and it was awesome! Also, there used to be a coffee shop here named Filter and that's where my husband and I met 🥰 however, today the 10th of November 2023 my husband and I came in to sit down and eat. We were turned away because there was a large reservation. Totally understand that that happens. What is annoying is there is not sign that says that anywhere online that I've seen. So I don't have anything to bad to say but that. We will be coming back most likely this following Wednesday but I refuse to call ahead since it isn't written anywhere. If it is written down here online somewhere I'll do it. So I'll come back with my husband and hopefully all is good. I might come back to make a follow up review afterwards

So my recent visit (11/26/23)with my husband we finally sat down for dinner. AMAZING. I had the pesto lasagna and my husband had the spinach and ricotta ravioli. So so perfect!
