This place is for now, unpopular yet underrated. They have very nice pasta selections with a good serving at affordable prices. Drinks are also cheap compared to mainstream cafes but their quality will sure make a good run of cash. I like the place because although it is small, it is generous with service. They have outlets for working guests, they also have free wifi (I guess for now is unlimited), clean rest room and a thematic second floor. To sum up, food is great, service is excellent, and ambience is comforting. I'm happy I now have a to-go place in Caloocan.
