Authentic Italian food and absolutely delicious desserts that are made in-house. Service is absolutely wonderful. Ammentities are spotless and clearly a place that loves their buisness. Highly recommend!
Food and service was exceptional. Linguine, spagbol, lasagna all top notch. The (homemade) tiramisu was like nothing we've had before. Can't share a photo because it didn't last long on the table. Service was warm and gentle ave very accommodating. Highly recommend this place which feels like you're having traditional Italian food cooked by Italian uncles and aunties of yesteryear.
Second time visiting here, very friendly staff and warm hospitality. Great food and reasonable price. The chefs - mama & papa are so adorable by the way.😆
A lovely restaurant with friendly staff. The service was great the whole time. It’s authentic Italian food cooked to perfection! Everything is delicious but please save room for the amaretti pannacotta with spiced pears - you won’t regret it!
Came here for dinner tonight after reading reviews. Got lucky with a walk-in table for 2 despite no reservation at 7pm on a Saturday night (don't do this, it was very busy). There were many interesting menu options, & looking at neighbouring tables I was pleased to see portions were very generous. I changed my mind at the last minute and went for the pasta calabrese, a slow-cooked pork fennel sausage ragu and handmade fettuccine. YUM. Also had the tiramisu, which I enjoyed. Partner had scallopini marinara which he seemed happy with. It did take a while to take our order but I could see the staff were moving briskly clearing tables. I also saw what looked like an older couple cooking in the kitchen. There was an adorable little girl scampering around wiping tables who quietly refreshed our table water. Good food, good value, clearly a hard-working family business. I will be back next time we're in Canberra to try out the other menu items, definitely worth a visit.
