    Experience was lovely however the Orecchiette was very underwhelming and this is coming from someone who is not a picky eater in the slightest. The sauce tasted very strange, broccoli looked like it it was frozen and kale was extremely bitter. Cheesesteak however was AMAZINGGGGG (like best cheesesteak I’ve ever had amazing). Garlic knots and Mozzarella sticks were decent as well. Vibe was great and server was extremely polite. Pasta was definitely not worth $25 but will be coming back for the cheesesteak and the atmosphere, hopefully their other pastas are better :). Overall I would recommend this, just avoid the Orecchiette.
