AI Spot Summary
The portion of the pasta is adequate, and the creamy smoked salmon fettuccine sauce is rich but not greasy, with tender salmon; the seasoning of the handmade meat sauce and cheese rigatoni is moderate, recommended to be enjoyed together with the meat sauce.
The dining environment is relatively simple, located in a corner of the Dongmen Market, and there are only a few seats outside the store, where you might experience the lively atmosphere of the market.
The service is handled by the owner alone, so there may be a wait for the food to be served, especially during peak dining hours, when it might take longer.
Reviews
An Italian pasta shop tucked away in Dongmen Market
There are only 4 seats outside the store on the Dongmen Market walkway
It's gotten cooler these days
Otherwise, it would be very hot in the summer
If I hadn't seen friends recommending it as delicious, I probably wouldn't have eaten at this place at all XD
Arrived around 4:30 pm on a weekday afternoon
There were no other customers at the scene
But the shop does take delivery orders
The owner is the only person inside
Seems like it's not made from semi-finished products
Each pasta takes about 8-10 minutes to serve
Creamy Smoked Salmon Fettuccine $260
The portion of pasta is much more than expected
Almost couldn't finish eating XD
The pasta is slightly firm
The sauce is thick but not greasy
Salmon is soft and tender
Handmade Meat Sauce and Cheese Rigatoni $250
This portion size is more normal
The cheese on top looks like a lot
The seasoning is not heavy
Definitely recommend eating it with the meat sauce
Otherwise, it tastes a bit bland with just the cheese and pasta
The taste of the food is very good
The downside is that the dining environment is a bit lacking
And if it's during meal time, the wait for food can be quite long
