Food was disappointing, especially for the price. Service was good, and the restaurant itself was nice, but expected a much better food experience.

Food is EXCELLENT! The service was good - it was really busy. Difficult to have a conversation due to noise level. Very echo. Overall a great dinning experience.

It was a busy Friday lunch period so the ambience felt a little loud and crowded and service was slow and not as attentive as it could have been. The food was fantastic though and we outstayed the crowd so it felt like our own place towards the end. I have never been disappointed here!

Great Italian food, can't go wrong with any of the pastas! Good vegetarian options. Also loved the Arancini appetizer. We had a 4pm reservation and were seated in the private dining space so it was a bit quieter... but I would imagine it can get pretty loud once the tables fill up.

The food is interesting and flavourful and nutrient dense. The chicken on my cucumber chickpea salad was cooked to perfection. Cocktails perfect as usual. The staff is lovely and knowledgeable. Always an excellent experience. ❤️
