So, when I came across a home version of one of their pasta dishes, I decided it was worth a try. The pasta turned out so delicious that it made me think about trying one of their pasta dishes the next time I eat there. Nah, who am I kidding I will probably order the same thing as always, but I may actually look at the pasta menu this time.
