First timer & was not disappointed. Should I say I was extremely pleased. In a word, fantastic! From the warm greeting, to the delicious meal, to the mouth watering dessert & the top notch grappa. We enjoyed every part of this meal. Love the vibe of the place & the grilled calamari salad is other worldly. Wether your a local or a tourist this place is a must!

Nous cherchions un bon restaurant près du centre Bell pour un souper d'avant match...Nous n'avons pas été déçu! Un excellent service, rapide & toujours dans le respect! Des accents italiens « délectables », une pizza sans pareil! (ma femme qui a 60 ans dit que c'est la meilleure qu'elle n'a jamais mangé) & des pâtes parfaites...Nous y retournerons & nul doute que cela fera partie de nos coup de coeur.
Excellent service personnalisé à la limite tu te sens faire partie de la famille......Excellente suggestion du serveur......Nourriture 12/10......Très bien situé dans le centre ville & du Centre Bell.
One star for location
One star for the great food
One star for decoration
No star at all for hygiene. 2 pieces of cutlery were dirty. A plate as welll. NONE OF THE WIATERS WERE USING MASKS PROPERLY. Only on the chin or neck. Noses exposed. Mouths as well.
No star for charging us for the water. First time I was charged unnanouncedly for water in Canada.
Great company so lovely night. But not coming back.
