    The pastas were over sauced unfortunately. We had expected true Cucina Italiana, but we were given good but not great pasta. The American idea that “more is better” has invaded their cuisine.

    Lasagna was fabulous! Best I’ve had at a restaurant. Pasta Giusto was very good but noodles were slightly underdone, you could see the line in the middle where it was still raw.
