I bought this set for two reasons:
1) It had pasta bowls.
2) it looked good.

Seriously, pasta bowls are so useful, I wish I had got some earlier. I eat most meals out of them. Plus, they also look really good. Bonus points for not including anything useless like teacups or a second set of bowls in the set.

I only wish I had waited a day longer to buy them, they went on sale the day after I made my purchase for $20 less! Too bad Wayfair doesn't do price guarantees.
