The waiters were kind of rude & condescending with us. & the food (my friend & I both got pizzas) was disappointing. I could tell the spinach on mine wasn't fresh & hers just wasn't that good specially for the price. I love food & don't mind paying for it as long as it's worth it. Not in this case, both service & food were disappointing.
One good thing to mention, the ambiance is absolutely beautiful. That's the only reason why I'm giving 3 instead of 1.
Amazing service. Food was obviously well presented, fancy & delicious. The place is just beautiful. Big windows, shabby chic decoration. I loved how the chef came & introduced himself. Tiramusu was just…fab!
I came in for brunch & was honestly blown away - not just by the food, which was absolutely delicious, but by the incredible service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The atmosphere was relaxed & welcoming, exactly what you want for a weekend brunch spot.
What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was our server, Simon. He was genuinely attentive, kind, & knowledgeable about the menu. You could tell he really cared about making sure we had a great time. It's rare to come across service that feels both professional & personal, but Simon nailed it.
This place is a gem, & I'll definitely be coming back - especially if Simon's on the floor.
We ordered cocktails, the cacio e pepe pasta, & the boeuf & shishito pizza. All were absolutely delicious. The restaurant is beautiful & convenient location. We were though very disappointed with the service. It took 20+ minutes to get drinks, we were rarely checked up on & at one point our server disappeared completely & another started somewhat looking after our table. We were here for my girlfriend's birthday, & I saw some tiramisu's come out to tables with a sparkler, so I made a note to our server that we were celebrating a birthday also. Eventually a tiramisu came to our table without request, which was nice, but no sparkler. & then it was charged to our bill, even though we didn't actually order any dessert. No "happy birthday", no "thank you for coming", no "how was everything", nothing. Just given the bill after waiting 30 minutes at an empty table, & finally having to request it from yet another server, without a word spoken to us. We flew here from BC & I felt it was a disappointing way to celebrate my partner. Such a mix of emotions. The food was so good but we left sad.
Beautiful restaurants with great ambiance & even better service. We were served by Melissa & couldn't have had a better experience. Will be coming back from out of town, thank you, Melissa !!
Came here with family for the first time. I'm from out of town. The restaurant is beautiful. The food was amazing & our server was great. The charcuterie board was really good. I loved the pizza as well. I only gave 4 stars due to the restaurant being extremely hot! Almost uncomfortable to eat. That being said, I would visit again.

such a beautiful place, great dishes too but I ordered & asked the waiter if a gluten free option would be available, he didn't know & left & just brought me the regular bread with no explanation.
The place is gorgeous, fresh & young (awesome for Instagrams), the staff is super friendly, & food is delicious with beautiful presentation. The Happy Hour (5@7) has special prices which makes it even more interesting because you can taste not expensive wines & cocktails. Excellent place for romantic dinner or friends meeting for example. To complete my review, I should have tasted others items from the menu (drink & food), but I didn't have time.
Rly nice service, beautiful ambiance. Food was hit or miss. The pizzas were delicious but the vongole seafood pasta had zero flavour & way too few clams.
Beautiful place, with an interesting menu though some portions seemed quite small for the price. The food was well cooked & very tasty, presentation was absolutely gorgeous, quite reminiscent of the excellent Sister(?) restaurant Passé Composé. Service was wobbly, hard to grab the attention of our waiter & he forgot parts of our requests along the way. He was polite & apologetic about it but still something to take note of. Will come back & hoping service will improve.
Just came with my dad who just arrived from France, & what an amazing experience ! Beautiful restaurant, love the atmosphere & thanks to Massimo who made us feel like home ! Definitely coming back
Went with a friend for dinner - absolutely beautiful decor with moody lighting. Was attended to quickly for drinks, appetizer & main course. Didn't wait too long for the food, refills of water, or the bill. As for the food, really tasty! I got the ragu pasta & my friend got the prosciutto pizza. Would recommend & go again. My only complaint is that the food could have been a tad warmer.
My experience at Tiramisu turned out to be perfect!
I mean under normal circumstances I feel like my family & I were just had a very unlucky night, but the manager, Andy, made our experience very special.
I'll explain...
First we had made our reservations online for 3pm, but when we arrived the hostess kindly told us there must have been a mistake because the kitchen closes at 3pm & reopens at 5pm. It was a little inconvenient, but it actually turned out really well because we got to do a little extra sight-seeing & it made my Mother's birthday extra special:) When we came back at 5pm, a new hostess seated us at one of the booths at the back (I would strongly recommend sitting over there because the ambience is absolutely amazing!!! The restaurant has a beautiful vintage (70s-vibe) decor which we could really appreciate from that section.
So, as an appetizer we ordered the beef tartare & grilled octopus. My family was amazed by the texture of the octopus, & the tomato confit was spot-on, but honestly my favourite was the beef tartare!!! I mean the tartare was accompanied with these delicious deep-fried ginger-flavoured rice balls with fior di latte cheese inside & topped with a miso aioli! When I say they were amazing, I mean they were absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g. They really captured the Japanese-Italian fusion! I would have bought the dish again just for the the rice balls🙂
For our main course we ended up ordering one al ragu, one al tartufe & one piccante. I was the one who ordered the al ragu, but unfortunately I just didn't like it...I found the sauce was too watery, I would have liked to it is purred & topped with meat chunks because sauce was too liquids & I found the taste a little bland. But I understand it is probably just a personal preference. What I really appreciated was when Andy saw our table he was very accommodating & genuinely nice about the whole situation. He kindly asked me what I wanted instead, & the al tartufe was everything I wasn't in a pasta...it was creamy, well-seasoned & very flavourful:) I couldn't have need more pleased!
Finally, for dessert we really wanted to get the tiramisu (I mean how can you not get tiramisu at tiramisu) but unfortunately the waiter told us they ran out of tiramisu...the irony was the highlight of our night-but it really made it special. Instead they put a sparkler on tiramisu ice-cream & gave us some shots for my Mother's birthday! All of our experiences at Tiramisu made our night unforgettable (in a good way) & I think we will be back soon!!:)
Issues arise in any restaurant, but it's the way the staff deals with them...that's what makes the restaurant really good. The staff at Tiramisu were really friendly, & super accommodating. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, it was an unforgettable night & one that really made my Mother's Day special. Thank you so much, we appreciate everything:)
I am a little disappointed, the food did not taste the same, the pizza dough was very dry, the octopus tasted frozen. The drinks didn't taste the same. I don't know if they changed the people in the kitchen & their bartenders. But I left a little disappointed & my friends I went with didn't like the food either. Hopefully it was just a bad day, because the place is beautiful & the staff is very friendly.
