I recently discovered a hidden gem in Gastown and was blown away by the exceptional service and delicious food. The quality of the food far exceeded my expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. For instance, the seafood risotto was priced at just $24.95, which is very affordable for the portion size and quality of ingredients.The restaurant was quiet and not too busy, making it an ideal spot for events or special occasions. I'm already planning to return and try out other items on the menu. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Gastown

Amazing food! Pizza was phenomenal! The pasta was cooked perfectly.I would definitely return and recommend the place. The entrance is on a side street, so it feels like you're going to someplace not a lot of people would go.

amazing experience eating here, the atmosphere was perfect, not too loud, not too quiet, both servers were great and were very helpful with the menu. we both got the dinner set, one with pescatore and osco buco, both were amazing especially the pescatore. the bone marrow from the osco buco was large in portion and perfectly cooked. the variety and freshness in the pescatore was incredible as well. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again.

Food was great - carpaccio was full of flavour, calamari was nicely done and the rack of lamb was excellent.The service on the other hand was the best we’ve had in awhile, our server Carlos was a legend. He really added to the experience of the restaurant and made our night 100x better. Thank you Carlos!!!

This was my birthday night for me, very disappointed. Food was so salty. Cooked well but the taste was disgusting. Inedible. On the cheese platter they served laughing cow triangles. I kid you not! Some nuts and whatever else they could find in shoppers.Service : not attentive and very rushed.I will never dine here again sorry!

The atmosphere was fantastic. Looked pretty old class and stylish. The desserts and appetizers were great. Main course though, was the only time in my life that I did not eat my steak completely. It was char. But, too char. Some pieces had just charcoal taste. During our main course, no one stopped by to check if everything is fine. When they came for the plates, I asked for talking to the chef about it. Our waitress was so friendly and offered us free drinks or cutting the dessert’s fee, and explained they were short on staff. We might be back in summer as I liked the sunset view of the second floor. But, it definitely will not be a steak

Probably one of the most authentic Italian restaurant in Vancouver. I love how it’s underground because the moment you enter it, you get this classic, dark and cozy atmosphere of an Italian restaurant. It’s a bit fancy so you can definitely dress up for a romantic date night. They have amazing selections of wine and pasta. You get free warm bread with olive oil and vinegar which is so delicious! The staffs are dressed-up and friendly. Don’t get me started on their pasta because it’s unreal! I always order their seafood linguine and it’s a very decent portion so you actually do get full! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the food. A bit on the expensive side but quality and taste were great so I'd say it's reasonable. However, the service was not quite consistent with every patrons. You can see how they are more attentive to others and to some, barely checks on you. The lady that has the white table napkin going around saying she was the server barely checked on us. We came 10mins before the early dinner promo and mentioned it to us saying we got 10mins, and with our menus closed and ready to order just in time, she is nowhere to be found. Walking past us and not making eye contact. It was the lady that gave us water and took away our plates that gave us more attention. I seriously hoped she got our tip and not the other one.
