We ended up stranded at the Sheraton airport hotel & this place came up within walking distance. If we are ever in the city again, I would go out of my way to eat here. The food was so good. We had a variety of pizza & pasta dishes & everyone was happy. The atmosphere is great & the service is even better.

Good atmosphere but the food is just bad! Ordered Alfredo pasta & it was bland with no salt!! It was just plain pasta in Alfredo sauce with no meat!! Costs over $20 per plate!

5 star .. the place is not that big but very fancy inside. Food is amazingly good. Compliment to the chef! I ordered pasta Primavera & it's not in the menu & I asked if they can make it, yes they did. Although its not the same as the one i tasted in Quebec, but it was delicious. My friend wanted pin?a colala drink also not in the menu, but they made her something similar without the coconut flavor but taste is close to Pina colada. They have a free shuttle pickup for nearby hotel & our driver is the young wizard of Oz. Our server is Carl. All the staff is super nice & very courteous. Highly recommended.

Shuttle driver Oz was super nice & personable, he also assists all
Around the dining room. It is a nice service in that everyone (3-4 servers) all help all
Over the room. Food was good, my pizza was excellent, both pastas were good, the Cesar salad was not good (as per my daughter who eats Cesar's everywhere we go) dressing felt oily & chicken was dry & romaine a bit wilted.
All in all I would return, super cute spot with great service .

Pizza was raw had to send back to back to be re-cooked , came raw for the second time , nice older gentleman replaced with pasta.
Eating the pasta felt like fishing for noodles in soup.
How can an'italian' restaurant go so wrong with there 2 main dishes.
Do not go !
Chefs were arguing in the kitchen.

Service Service Service :) :) :)

Our waiter was very helpful & knowledgeable ( he makes a mean cosmo)

We began with boconcini tomatoes & sausages.

Then came the Chicken Parm & Puttanesca Penne ( my wife's fav )

Half way through her pasta she ordered a tiramisu to go - when she does that it's a sign .

The wine recommendation made Rita happy'Wine is good for Angelo when Rita has a second glass.'

Ordered Napoletana with chicken through delivery. Bread was just thrown into the delivery bag with no wrapping. Pasta had two strands of hair in it. Flavour was not bad but could have been better. Chicken was rather dry. Not impressed with the food as it was not worth the cost. Prepare your dishes better for delivery!!!

Quality of food is top notch! Bit expensive, but really solid. Osso buco, veal parm, & the fish are all amazing. Only criticisms are bigger portions on the included pasta/asparagus, & the seating is a bit cramped. Other than that all great.
