This restaurant is my new favourite for vegetarian delights! The lasagna reminds me of my Nonna’s with a little added kick of heat! Incredible! Amazing mushroom “calamari” and a very nice drink selection. It was a little loud for my preference but that won’t stop me from coming back. Excellent date vibes and wonderful staff. Our server was friendly, accommodating and made the whole experience for us.
