I need to give hats off to this restaurant. We came for our work Christmas party last week. Not only were we 13 people but there was also 2 other Christmas party work groups at the restaurant & it was packed! Although everyone's service started at the same time, we had amazing service with zero delays. The food was outstanding as usual with large portions. Can't recommend this restaurant enough!

Excellent. One of the best Italian restaurants (if not the best) that I've been to. Small local & authentic place. Staff was excellent. Gluten free options. Highly recommended!

We stopped in unexpectedly without a reservation. The staff amazingly found a table for us with the caviate that we needed to finish our meal in 90 minutes. No problem as we were very hungry & we knew they were working hard to accommodate us. Our meals were incredible & very well prepared. Our server was equally outstanding making us feel very welcome while she explained the menu to us. We highly recommend this restaurant & will return again.

We were four guests. We all found the food experience was very uneven & disappointing. The service was excellent, & except for asking the AC to be turned off , since it was a cool evening outside, the atmosphere was fine. The food is another story. Both the salmon tartare, & especially the lamps chops, suffered from lack of taste. Not the overall dish, but the main ingredient could have been anything at all. The lamb chops in a brown sauce, completely got rid of any tase of lamb. We were shocked with what the chef did. Lamb has a distinct taste that shines unless deleted, which was what we found. The sauce was also more of a soup. & at 59$ for three small & unevenly cooked pieces of meat, we were extremely disappointed. The tartare had the same effect, no taste of salmon. So two proteins that are enjoyed for their inherent flavour, were thrown under the bus. The stuffed zucchini flowers were excellent, as were the stuffed figs. The pasta norma was plain & unremarkable.The tomato salad was superb.

We were sad that nothing really lived up to the hype in the introduction to the restaurant. Some things are due to a bad day, but specific decisions - like the smothered & overcooked lamb - tell us that we cannot recommend this restaurant to any of our friends. & we could not see ourselves coming back.
