    Our waitress (Selma?) was fantastic. Drinks were great. The food was delicious and showed up promptly after we ordered it. Ordered truffle fries, tagliolini and gnocchi, both were delicious. Highly recommend the restaurant for a fancy date night!

    Such a beautiful restaurant, great vibes and the ambience was nice. It was packed but I’m guessing it’s because it was Valentine’s Day. Food was good, wish they had more pasta options. Overall experience 7.5/10

    The restaurant was busy although the quality of the service was high throughout our meal. Tables are probably a bit too close for comfort and noisy tables close by made conversation challenging at times. Food was excellent with no complaints about quality, presentation or variety. The waiter was unobtrusive, friendly, knowledgeable and always available for a question or a request. Not my first time, and won't be my last time. One of our guests named his "new favourite restaurant downtown."

    I didn’t like Caprese salad, when there are only two ingredients- tomatoes and cheese it means they both should be excellent. Cheese was great, but tomatoes… Not ripe at all and not juicy, I was shocked when the top restaurant served that kind of tomatoes. Veal Milanese is decent, but still a little dry and for $60 in my opinion it should be way better. Lasagna is not served in a traditional way and I think it needs to be said or stated in the menu in advance. The service all around was great though 👍🏼
