The service was very well paced and the personal attention was nice to experience for lunch dining. There was a larger table with highly energetic conversations next to us, although the barrier did help to filter the noise. Other than that, the food was really enjoyable and tasty.

The portobello mushroom appetizer was on the menu that night and was AMAZING. The Sea Bass was also a special that night and might be the best I have ever had - literally melted in your mouth. Cozy ambience, authentic feel, great service.

The food was delicious but it seems they were understaffed. Service was too slow. We waited long time to get our order in and then waited longer to get our food. Server was nice but she was very busy, not enough servers for the amount of customers on a weekend night.

I was very disappointed in the selection of non alcoholic drinks. No sparkling water, Perrier etc. Soda water or tonic water are not my choice with a meal as they do nothing to enhance only detract.

Hands down the best authentic Italian restaurant in Calgary. We were a group of six and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. The portabella mushroom starter is incredible and not to be missed. The home made fresh focaccia bread is a great accompaniment for the cream sauce. I had the lasagna and it is amazing. Many layers of paper thin noodles layer with an incredible veal mixture. The sauce is exceptional. To finish we had the Nutella cheesecake which was the perfect way to end an incredible meal. The service is impeccable, the ambience beautiful and the food specular.

Our server Mario was amazing! The Seabass Special I ordered was to serve with spaghetti in marinara sauce. I asked Mario if I could have the marinara sauce replaced with a different sauce. He did it! My spaghetti came with olive oil and herbs! It was fantastic! When the dessert menu came I said to Mario um...I don't see my favorite desserts such as Panacotta or Cream Caramel on the menu. He went the extra mile again and brought me Panacotta that was not on their dessert menu. Same with the wine. He brought us a bottle that was not on their menu. Great wine! Overall we had a great experience with the food, wine, and amazing service.
