Great spot for date night or hanging out with a group of friends. Shared dishes which ended up being the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Service was quick and our server was very nice and attentive despite it being a busy Saturday evening. Food was delicious where the pizza probably came out to be our favourite of the night. It had a great crust on it and had just the right heat level to it. Would definitely recommend this place and highly suggest to reserve online before coming by.
Solid place. The reviews are correct. I would definitely recommend. Service was great, nice ambiance, attentive, great selection and diversity of flavors. They had a pretty good wine selection overall, but I will say that the wines by the glass selection list was, in my opinion, lacking. I would have liked to have seen more wines by the glass and had more variety from which to choose. That’s kind of a snobby complaint, I realize. Please don’t let that sway you. This place is great. We will be back. I wish we lived here because this would become one of our favorites.
Perfect place for a romantic evening or for catching up with friends. Service was 5 stars. We were seated right away, food came out quickly, tables were cleared in just the right amount of time between courses. 3 course meal, we were in and out in just over an hour. Food was delicious, exactly as pictured and described. Will definitely come back again to try more dishes.
Our server, Jermey, was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He was interesting, knowledgeable, and elevated our dining experience. The food was incredible, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu especially the pasta. Shout out to the Italian soda beverage, the perfect balance of tart, fizzy, and refreshing.
Our server Andrew was the best server I have ever had in my life! He really went above and beyond to ensure our evening was wonderful. The food here was delicious. As a starter we order the garlic knots 10/10. We ordered two different pastas as our mains, one with seafood (feature item) and mushroom chicken papardelle - both were lovely. We also ordered the chicken pizza and that was also a great choice. The flavours were very well balanced. As our dessert, we had the tiramisu - Highly recommend!
