    Great food and great service. A cool spot for Italian fare. Highly recommend the whipped ricotta and grilled focaccia, Arancini, and cacio e pepe. We also had a pizza and that was fantastic as well.

    Very accomodating to gluten free. We had the ricotta appetizer, the Arancini (which was really good, a little salty, but would definitely order again. My husband had the ragu with duck and I had the pesto pasta add shrimp. I did not need to add the shrimp, the pesto pasta by itself is absolutely amazing. Finished off with the Bundino desert. We will definitely be back.

    Fabulous all around! Our reserved table was waiting for us when we arrived. Our waiter was attentive and helpful in suggesting meal options. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the ricotta cheese appetizer, polenta cakes, seafood risotto, and all the pizzas! We’ll be back next we’re in town!

    The service was great. The pizza was undercooked and could’ve been so much better if it had stayed in the oven a couple minutes longer to crisp up and further melt the cheese. There is also a lot of sauce on the pizza. I ordered an espresso martini that was so sweet and creamy that my daughter wouldn’t even drink it.

    We had great hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately, it was not a great dining experience. We were a party of six and two of us ordered the risotto. Our meal did not arrive until the others were halfway through their meal, and our food was lukewarm at best. While the flavours were good, being cold, ruined the dish. One of our members was coeliac and asked if the chocolate pudding was gluten-free. She was told it was, and it turned out that it was not. One of our parties dessert dish broke while he was eating his dessert. On the whole not a great night.
