So amazing! We've been wanting to go here for a while now, and finally had the opportunity. We got the spicy rigatoni vodka with sausage, the black spaghetti, and the cacio e pepe. We ate everything and were so stuffed, but it was so worth it! The pasta was incredible and the sauces were so amazing. The best place we've been to in Atlanta to get a good dish of good simple pasta. It was a touch loud inside and the service was slightly slow, but we were enjoying ourselves.

Food was amazing but service was slow… seemed like the bar was backed up. We received our appetizers before our drinks. We ordered our drinks well-before putting in our food order.
