Everything made homemade except the noodles, this Italian restaurant had delicious food. The interior was nicely finished and had large windows. Fast service and tall drinks. We had spaghetti and meatballs and chicken penne. The only downside was the table being very sticky.

Another visit and carbonara was great again. Pizza has a lot of room for improvement. We wanted to try it again but it was again a bad choice. The dough is dry and hard. The service was really slow. We waited 20 mins to get a drink although a lady who seems to run the place asked us as soon as we sat down but it was not until a server came to ask that we got our drinks. So probably 10 mins between the first interaction and 20 mins more after the second one. The same for the food and the bill. Forever to get our bill and 20 minutes more waiting to pay. They were really busy but I guess bringing the bill and the machine could have been an option.Something important, please chop the sundried tomatoes for your pizza. You are not supposed to eat a whole sundried tomato like that. It is salty and it is supposed to add flavour not take over the entire flavour of the pizza.First visit.The pasta was incredibly good. We ordered carbonara and it was very tasty.The pizza was not great. I would not order it again but I would definetely come back for that pasta. The white sangria was delicious but overpriced for sure. Service was ok. They were extremely busy!

Overall service was great and drinks were made well. Place is too tight for mingling for a work Xmas party. Food at the beginning was good-pizza and arancini. I had lobster fettuccine but it was cold, dry, and overcooked. My husband had chicken parmigiano and his was cold too. I tasted someone's osso buco and it was delicious. The candy cane gelato was amazing too.

This is my second time here for dinner. This is a lovely cosy restaurant. Service was good as always .. I had a nice pasta dish and wine. Their desserts are great too. Very relaxed atmosphere and you don't feel rushed. I will be back!

ordered the seafood linguine, scallops were over cooked, pasta was under cooked and bland, the lobster tail tasted like it was frozen then boiled, like mushy, the shrimp was rubbery, the sauce was bland. what a waste of my girlfriends birthday dinner and my time. i will never go back there. not to mention the flies buzzing around from the open air doors. i do not recomend this place to anybody.

Greatest birthday dinner for a Friday night and a Shirley Temple for my date!Home made pasta is very good and the hot bread that comes is delicous. Gelato is a must! Will return.

We had a few appetizers and ordered 4 mains but we were a bit let down by the food tonight. Really appreciated our server’s effort to help us with replacing the pizza and giving us a good experience. I was expecting more for a restaurant rated almost 5 stars. Could use some louder music. Some of the pastas were a hit!

I brought my grandparents here and I had high hopes for the food and service, and I wasn't disappointed. They ordered the 4 item pizza, and my mom and I shared the veggiterian cappelini. When we told the waitress that we will be sharing, they separated our dish before bringing it out and made sure both had the same type of veggies. Both the pasta and pizza tasted great. Even my grandpa, who's very picky, loved the food. We also ordered two desserts at the end. They both were delicious and not overly sweet. The Tartufo's chocolate shell had small pieces of hazelnut in it, which added to the flavour. We also ordered one 6oz red wine, and one mixed drink. The service was good and our waitress was polite and helpful. We sat inside right by the window, which meant great lighting and made for a cozy yet lovely experience. Our total came to ~$67 before tip. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone who's looking for a good Italian restaurant!Update: the food and service was as great as my visit 4yrs ago. This time I ordered the special veal ravioli, and it was lip-smacking delicious!

Great atmosphere and staff. Food could use some help but overall pretty good. I had the seafood linguini ...the scallops were a little undercooked, lobster tail was terrible. I feel like they boiled it? The pasta needed far more sauce, but I get it might all come down to cost savings.The dessert didn't seem homemade. The bread they bring out was meh. The wine prices are fine.Essentially you're paying for a nice cozy dinner experience with average at best Italian food.
