It was a fun experience in an exclusive dedicated space of your dining experience. The ambiance and decor felt luxurious. The heater and air filter were a nice touch inside the dome. My dedicated waitress, Alisa was excellent and knowledgeable. She was pleasant and kind. The dome felt incredibly spacious with a table that can seat 10 people.

Gluten-free pizza is excellent. The crust is crisp but not hard with fresh toppings. Also, I ordered a regular pizza. I think it was a great think crust.

Best meal in Calgary...? We think so now. Truly an extraordinary experience right from the start. The service staff makes you feel welcomed and taken care of the entire time you are there. With a smaller menu you may wonder sometimes, but everything lived up to the hype and more. The prawn toast rivals the famous Cheese Toast from Major Tom and I think even takes the top spot. The cabbage skewer was such a unique and light dish that was wonderful on the palette. Both pastas are a must. The flavour profiles on both dishes reminds you of Italy in such a fun and exciting way. All in all, 100/10. Incredible.
