I personally not really a squid ink fans because of the after-meal stain. Served together with squids, clams, cherry tomatoes, and mussels, chef own mixed of this unique squid ink sauce delivered a nice blend of flavor to the al-dente spaghetti, and more importantly, you can still have that bright smile after finishing the dish.

An Italian favorite that cooked in white wine with fresh ingredients like Littleneck clams, cherry tomatoes, and slices of zucchini. I was mesmerized by the aromatic thinly shredded chilies that placed on top, can even smell the fragrance once it was served at my table.
