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.
I had a nice time at Tiramisu. Highly recommend the Mamma Mortadella pizza! It was my favorite dish. The pasta is average & I don't think it's worth the price. We liked the tiramisu. I wish it had more coffee but I still recommend! Our server was fast & kind but the hostess took a while to greet us. The atmosphere is a 5 star! It's perfect for a date night. Our reservation was at 5pm & it was pretty empty. It started to get full at around 6pm.

Came for the after 11pm club vibes with live djs playing & I had mad fun. Cool environment, nice staff & good cocktails. Came back again after 3 weeks for dinner & partying with colleagues, we had an absolute blast. The food was good: the appetizer was yummy & pasta had a bit too much truffle, but it was yummy as well. Bartenders made the drinks just right! A must try!
Service was great but the pasta was just ok. We tried the vongole, picante, & beef shishito pizza. The Japanese flavour was almost nil. Out of the 3, the pizza was the best. I suggest just getting the pizzas & sharing apps.
Really chic vibe, with a very interesting menu. While my dish - O Niku - was delicious & I highly recommend, & the Wolfgang Pizza seemed great, the pasta was over cooked, gummy & lacked flavour. On top of that, service was slow, they forgot a drink order, & though we ordered the fresh OJ on the menu, what we received was bottled concentrate - we questioned it once the bill arrived as we noticed it was cheaper than menu price, & that's when they informed us. It would have been nice to mention this when we ordered.
I recently dined at Tiramisu with my girlfriend, & I have mixed feelings about our experience. We began with a sushi arancini as an appetizer, which, while tasty, left us wanting more due to its small portion size.
For the main course, I ordered a pasta dish, & unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. It lacked the flavors & quality I anticipated. My girlfriend ordered a pizza, & to our disappointment, it also fell short of our taste preferences.
The service was passable, but there was an unexpected change in our server towards the end of the meal, without any explanation. This transition caused a delay in receiving our bill, which was frustrating.
What stood out the most was the crowd in the restaurant – predominantly in the 60-85 age range. While this added a unique dynamic to the atmosphere, it wasn't quite what we expected.
Had a great time last night, Amelie was a very great waitress. We met the manager Massimo who was a great host & very helpful , we will definitely be back .
Would definitely recommend the calamar entrée & we loved the tartufo pasta

Very cute restaurant however a little disappointing. Cocktails were good but the food was mid at best. The melanzane (eggplant) dish was flavourless. The pasta & pizza both came cold. Was okay but I'm not sure I'd recommend.
Maybe more like a 3.5, but I am rounding up because the service was impeccable, service & vibe are 5 star, it's the food that was a hit or miss
The meat sauce pasta was lacking in flavour
The margarita pizza was too heavy on tomato sauce & flavour of that sauce was just authentic pizza sauce.
This said the crust was very good, the pecking suck pizza was unique & yummy.
They just need to fine tune some of the dishes, the restaurant really has a ton of potential!
& again, service was AMAZING!
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.

From Saturday Oct. 15. Food was exceptional, service was terrible. Arrived for our 9:30 reservation & promptly seated, then waited almost 20 minutes for service. Hedged our bets by ordering drinks & our meal simultaneously, because service was very slow in our section. (Except for a nearby table of obvious social influences, who received 4 courses during our wait for service.)
Following a further 20 minute wait, our order arrived in this sequence: pizza & pasta, salad entre (we had to ask after this) followed by drink orders.
I think we confused our MIA server when we laughed at the arrival of our drinks - a meal perfectly served in reverse.
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:)
TLDR: The quality & quantity of food do not reflect the price charged. Dinner for 3 people at 8 pm on a Sunday evening. After being told that a quarter of the menu wasn't available & there was no Pizza of the Day, we ordered a sushi rice beef tartare ($18), tuna tataki ($16), & heirloom tomato salad. 15 minutes later, we were informed that there was no heirloom tomato salad, so we took the house salad ($10). About 45 minutes after that, we finally received 3 plates. The quantity of beef tartare served in the dish was 1 heaping tablespoon at most. The quantity of tuna tataki served were 4 small, thin & over-seasoned slices, slathered with half a bottle of raw capers, along with 5 sprigs of salad leaves without any dressing or seasoning. When I asked for salt & pepper so I could dress the salad myself, I received a little saucer of what could only be rock salt that you may use in pasta sauce, but which is impossible to crack without a spice grinder or a hammer. At least the shavings of parmesan on the house salad were edible.
A bit disappointed for m'y second time there. I took the tartuffo pasta, & it was blend.
Also the high table we were given was full of dust, when we mentioned it to the waitress, she only did a superficial job, she never moved the cutleries & glasses...
The Omakase for the Grand Prix Menu was heavenly 😋😋😋 The Uni pasta 😋😋😋 The Kampachi Crudo sauce Miam. The wine pairing by Michael enhanced the flavors of each dishes. The service by Simon 👍👍👍 & Chef Chanty Yenn came by to say Hi 🙏
Everything was amazing & delicious. We had a salad, pasta of the day, a negroni, & tiramisu for dessert. I have no complaints at all! I really recommend trying this place!
