Our food is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified the Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto. The menu has been designed for guests to share plates, in an effort to create a convivial and social dining experience.

Our Wood-Fire Pizzas are a cross between Roma and Neapolitan styles; cooked in a wood-burning M.A.M pizza oven imported from Italy. It yields a crust that is thin but sturdy. Wood-fire capabilities are critical for our menu as the flavour imparted on the food is exceptional and unique.

Our cocktails are equally thought out as our food. Our bartenders serve up a no-nonsense cocktail program featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that are all made in house.

    We booked dinner before a show in the area. Spent the better part of two hours enjoying delicious wine and a great meal. Will absolutely go back.

    We went to this place for brunch, not many people in the restaurant at noon but it still seems short-staffed. Our coffee is served when we almost finished the meal and wanted to leave. Limited choices on the menu. The food is okay, but the mushroom added to my egg benedict was way too salty. Nice environment overall, but won't go for a second time, for brunch at least.

    Unfortunately, the resto didnt live up to the hype. The ambience is funny and not in a good way. The huevos rancheros were "untasty" and boring. Tge service was nice and kind. They did serve freshly squeezed orange juice though, you rarely find that!

    We came for some cocktails and something small to eat as we were going somewhere else afterwards. We each got an appetizer (jerk chicken was very good and the oyster mushrooms were so so) and a dessert. My friend got the tiramisu and I had the white chocolate brownie. Both desserts were very disappointing. The tiramisu didn't have any taste of espresso or any liquor. My brownie was stone hard and not moist at all. Maybe next time if I go, I'll make sure I'm hungry enough to try the pizza or burger since that's what most people were eating.

    Came here my second time around, and I'm confident to say that the service is excellent. The interior design is inviting and ambient. The volume could escalate quite a bit, so I'd recommend going during off-peak hours or relocating somewhere more quite if you want a more intimate conversation. The staff ensures your glass is never empty. They are attentive to your needs. Food is excellent, but I'd recommend you take advantage of their weekly deals to get the best value. And I would also note that gluten-free options are not cost-friendly.

    I had the short ribs, which were excellent. My wife had the ceviche. It was tasty, but it was offered on the "dinner" menu and the portion was quite small. I think it should be characterized more as an app. Service was a bit uneven. For example, we told our server we wanted wine, but we finished our dinner before she came back to take our wine order. We liked the atmosphere. Wine menu struck me as poor value for money.

    Food was great! Maybe the best Brussels sprouts I ever had. Service was laughably slow, taking 90 minutes to go through two courses. Asked our desserts to go because we just needed to leave. Getting the check and paying was painful. Had to request service most of the times we received it.

    This restaurant is Highly recommended as one of the best pizza places in Canada. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The pizza was good but nothing to return for. The fries were so small, it was frustrating to eat. It's almost like left over chards of fries. Flavor was good.

    Waitress and hostess had no customer service, made our experience somewhat jaw dropping as it was apparent neither wanted to be there and that projected on to their customers. Food was very salty. Couple next to us never touched their pizza and when they left another couple had been seated next to us, they got the same reception from our waitress. They got up and left and never ordered. Will not be retuning. It unfortunate as the place has a really nice vibe.

    Ambience was great, service was fine. Mushroom pasta was decent, burger was good (although just a bit blend for my taste). What spoiled the impression were fries - I probably got them from the bottom of the batch, so great majority were like crumbs, perhaps less than 1 cm long, on average, good for eating with a spoon, not your hands. Regret not sending them back right away. Additionally, some may find fries to feel overcooked.

    The food was fantastic- had steak frites and the short ribs! Highly recommend! The service was excellent- never did we have to reach out as the staff was attentive without being intrusive. If you are seeking a restaurant where you can converse with the person you are dining with, the music is quite loud making conversation a challenge. That being said, the tunes were great and we would absolutely return!
