Hidden in the alleys near Chinese medicine shops is an Italian restaurant that I feel is more like a family restaurant close to a residential area. It’s the kind of place where family and friends can gather on weekends to enjoy some good food, chat happily, and spend a relaxing ordinary evening together. 😌

☝🏻 In simple terms: generous portions, straightforward dishes, nothing extraordinary.

In relation to its price, the main dishes have good portion sizes 👍. The prices are quite friendly, with most main dishes costing around $200; you can find many under $250, and adding combo deals isn’t too expensive either. The menu items are all quite common and simple 😂. The flavors aren’t particularly impressive, but they meet the expected standard perfectly.

Despite being ordinary, I find myself wanting to return often after eating here.

The prices are affordable for a regular meal, and the taste and portions don’t leave you regretting your choice. If you want to break away from the usual lunchboxes and treat yourself to a different flavor or a little daily joy, you can come in and order your favorite pasta.

Given that, it seems like it could earn four stars, but I’m going to start deducting points now. 😂

Deduction Point 1️⃣ The air conditioning is not cool at all.
I initially thought the heat was just my illusion until the person at the table next to me also complained about the heat while eating a salad 😂. The restaurant isn’t hot enough to make you sweat, but the open kitchen, outdated air conditioning, and limited seating distance due to space constraints make it feel much warmer when everyone is eating hot food and chatting.

Deduction Point 2️⃣ The electricity seems very unstable.
Perhaps I’ve had some bad luck when eating out lately. During my meal here, the lights went out twice due to power failures (yes, the kind that leaves everything pitch black because of electrical overload). Eating in the dark? That’s definitely a point deduction. 😂

Deduction Point 3️⃣ My drink was so watered down…
I swapped my set meal drink for a cup of Calpis, and it was so dilute it felt like it was mixed with water! Honestly, I almost didn’t want to finish it.

Nevertheless, considering the main course's cost-effectiveness, I still think it’s worthy of another visit!
(As long as I don’t have to eat in the dark or suffer from the heat every time I visit).

Just a quick note on the restaurant’s rules: there’s a minimum charge ($200), a dining time limit (90 minutes), and no service charge.

👇 The rest is the meal review!
