I ordered a carbonara truffle and a small size medium steak. I did not expect it to be this small. The steak tastes normal, the sauce save them all, but portion size is unworth. The pasta feel somewhat fish sauce? There is a faint strange feeling. Overall it is not worth for its price

Reviews
The Carbonara is really tasty, cheesy and fully filled with egg York, maybe the most original version I've ever tried! The Shrimp pesto looks eye-catching in green but I barely feel pesto flavor, shrimp is fresh. They are all hand-made pasta. The steak is perfect medium-rare, juicy. Ordering extra a slice of sourdough is a good idea in order to wipe all sauce . Do not waste anything. Atmosphere in there gives you a vintage and cozy feeling. Disadvantage should be limited menu and at the time I came there was a dish unavailable due to out of stock, so that I couldn't order it in a combo and I had to order dishes separately instead. A little bit disappointed for the first visiting. But overall, this eatery is recommended!
My first impression of 15grams was very positive; the restaurant has a vintage and cozy ambiance that really makes it stand out from other places. The meal started off well with a great bowl of soup, but unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. I ordered the spicy shrimp pasta, but it was incredibly plain and lacked any flavor to awaken the palate. The elements of the dish felt entirely disjointed: the noodles seemed to be drenched in a lot of cheese sauce, yet I couldn't taste any creaminess or the promised spice. I provided this feedback to the staff, but they merely apologized for the inconvenience without offering any actual solution. Next was the steak. It was just okay, but despite ordering it medium-rare, the meat came out looking quite medium-well. Finally, my visit to the restroom was quite uncomfortable. It looked as if a family was living in there; it was quite dirty and cluttered with personal everyday items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and feminine products. I'm not sure if I accidentally walked into a private bathroom, but I strongly suggest the restaurant clearly separate the guest restroom from the family’s private living space. Overall, a lovely space but the food and service need significant improvement.
stumbled upon this place randomly and glad we found this hidden gem we had their: steak, salmon pasta, carbonara, magherita pasta, mushroom soup (came with sourdough bread!), potato wedges, burrata salad and homemade yoghurt. pasta were hand made on the spot and you can definitely tell the difference, we enjoyed every bite :) everything tasted so fresh and amazing, will definitely recommend their homemade yoghurt & salad 10/10!! staff were also very friendly & attentive, great service :)
Shout out to the chef that made sure to plate my dishes pretty for me so I could take pictures! The homemade pasta is very good here. But the Salmon pasta dish is delicious. I had to order a 2nd plate of it. And the ambiance is very calm and inviting.
