Not worth it I tried to get a table for two and had to wait an exceptionally long time--I think the host forgot about us. Then the food itself took ages to get there, and wasn't near good enough for what they charge. Also, I'm a little disturbed by the absence of PENNE on their menu. Anyone else?

Total mess – Well, it is hard to rate a restaurant that you didn't eat at... but after waiting an hour I think I would tell you to turn around and go somewhere else. When we got there the lady at the desk said 20 minute wait. Okay, we put our name on the list. After 30 minutes we checked and she said 10 minutes more, we were third in line. By then the lobby was filled up. When people started to ask why there were so many empty tables and so many waiting, she told us the dishwasher was broken and they couldn't get dishes. Aft... read more

Best Pasta – Great Italian food, very romantic atmosphere. The homemade pasta are excellent, very fresh and cook perfectly. We enjoyed watching the chef making the pasta in the middle of the room. Service was friendly and polite. We had a great Italian server, very typical, he reminded us our last trip to Italy.

Bad Pasta – There are so many restaurants in Philadelphia that I think it is such a waste of time to come here trying to find good pasta because you won't. I ate here twice and was twice disappointed. I tried it the second time because someone told me that it was under new management. Either way, I know now to stay away and spend the same amount of money and the many amazing restaurants that the city has to offer.

Average food for its class, overrated pastas – This restaurant would probably not survive if it didn't enjoy a priviliged relationship with the University of Pennsylvania. It's main claim to fame is gourmet pastas made in house. Although some of the creations are interesting, I have consistently found them to be overcooked and the sauces to be heavy (I've eaten there at least ten times because of work). The menu is also overpriced for what it is and the wine list much more so. On a plus side, service can be good and the smal... read more

Mediocre at Best, Horrificly Overpriced! – I went to this restaurant in March of this year expecting the quality of the food to align with their pricing structure. While the service and sommelier were excellent, the food left more than a bit to be desired. My girlfriend ordered a fish pasta (simple enough) and I had a special that evening which involved handmade hazelnut pasta in a sauce with far too much cream (it was much too rich and should have been an appetizer at best), and the hazelnut, frankly, just didn't work. Cons... read more

great wine list, average food – The sommelier on hand made some good choices for my companion and me. The capellini was mixed: hand-shaved noodles are awesome, but the tomato basil sauce is off. Ambience is very nice- it's a popular spot where students take their visiting parents with bigger pockets. I think the above-average price is for the nicer surroundings rather than for the food.
