The tiny size of this place is what makes dining there such a treat. With only about 12 tables in the whole place, every diner feels like a special guest, and despite the tiny size of the dining room there's enough space at each table to have an intimate dinner without feeling like you are sharing space with the next door strangers.
The service was great -- my wife and I had lingered for an extended period over our appetizer, yet still our entrees came out perfectly timed -- not rushed to us but rather within a short window of having the app plates cleared. The owner of the restaurant is frequently patrolling the dining room and seems to go out of his way to strike up conversations with his patrons, a nice touch.
The food was great though not mind-blowing. I really enjoy their extensive past menu where you can combine your choice of a huge number of pastas with one of their dizzying array of sauces, some of which I've not seen anywhere else in Beijing. My favorite dish was the beef and mushroom ravioli that I ordered with Carbonara sauce -- heavy but satisfying.
