The red sauce bacon pasta at this Italian restaurant is quite good, with a moderate seasoning and ample portions. The garlic bread and the creamy soup included in the set are also commendable.
The store space is relatively small, with only simple bar seating, and the cleanliness of the indoor environment needs improvement.
The service provides the convenience of electronic payment, but cutlery and sauces need to be self-served.

This affordable Italian pasta restaurant has been around for a while. They have moved three times and the space has gotten smaller 😅. Now, this location only has two rows of simple bar seating.
My son likes red sauce, so we ordered red sauce bacon pasta. You can add extra noodles for $10, or opt for a combo meal. I chose the $30 combo (garlic bread + soup).
In terms of taste, I think it’s quite good. It doesn’t compromise on quality just because it’s cheap. The seasoning isn’t overly sour or salty. Besides bacon, the ingredients include cabbage and shredded carrots, giving it a very Taiwanese feel.
In terms of portion size, I believe that after adding extra noodles, two people can share without any problem. It’s quite a generous portion. The combo’s bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which is nice. The soup is also quite rich, better than McDonald's soup that only has corn kernels. 👍
Overall, I think the taste is commendable, but the dining environment really isn’t great. The cleanliness of the seating needs improvement. However, I feel that this type of food tastes better when eaten in the restaurant. So, unless my child wants to go, given the dining environment, I wouldn’t want to specifically go there to eat.
