Many diners praise the restaurant for its delicious food, with highlights including the gnocchi, seafood pasta, and fresh ingredients, as well as the generous portions and complimentary gestures like dessert or drinks. While experiences with the service vary, many guests highlight the attentive, warm, and professional care provided by the staff, which often makes celebrations and special events feel memorable.

Un restaurant avec une terrasse exceptionnellement belle! On s'y sent presque comme en Toscane grâce à son décor & l'intimité des murs en briques.

Les serveurs & l'ensemble du personnel sont très gentils, polis & attentionnés.

Les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont cohérents avec les quantités offertes. La nourriture est bonne, sans toutefois être particulièrement mémorable ou exceptionnelle.

Une belle adresse surtout pour l'ambiance & la magnifique terrasse.

C'était bon, mais sans plus ! J'y retournerais pour la terrasse, mais pas nécessairement pour la nourriture malheureusement.

J'ai passé une très belle soirée pour l'anniversaire de ma mère. La nourriture était excellente & nous avons vraiment apprécié notre expérience.

Je tiens aussi à souligner la gentillesse de Io. Elle a eu la délicate attention d'offrir un dessert à ma mère pour son anniversaire. Je ne sais pas comment elle a trouvé le temps de lui écrire un petit Joyeux anniversaire , car le restaurant semblait très occupé, mais ce geste nous a beaucoup touchés.

Bref, tout était au rendez-vous … le service, l'ambiance & la qualité des plats. Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette belle soirée.

We threw a party for my friend - a group of 15 people. Dino was incredibly accommodating for placement. The service was spectacular all throughout. The food & the decor are second to none. This was the best Italian food I had outside of Italy. I love the saffron dish.
