   Warm inviting space with exposed brick walls and warm wood, lighting at perfect level for intimate dinner, acoustics perfect in that there was a nice buzz of conversation but you could still hear those at your table. Menu was the perfect one pager with a good range of options. I had the rigatoni which was spectacular. Tried my hubbie’s squid ink pasta with seafood which was also delicious. Get the feeling that everything on the menu is amazing so definitely need to go back. Great cocktail menu with innovative options. Very impressive wine list. Service was warm and engaging with knowledgeable staff dedicated to making everyone’s experience awesome. I think I just found my new fave spot for a great dinner with friends or a date night

   What a disappointment! We booked here to celebrate our daughter’s 6 years birthday. We ordered 4 different pasta, three of them are super spicy. You don’t experience much spicy plaster some where else . The chef use fresh jalapeño. The waitress didn’t warning us any of this when we order the food. my 2 year and 6years old are crying when they eat their food.

    I was kind of sad that I booked my reservation stating it was my birthday, which is a hard time of year to get acknowledged as it is but the table beside me got a little birthday ice cream and candle and birthday song. It made me sad. My birthday sucks.

    The staff were great... they switched our table right away when i told them that we were not happy with the table we were seated at. Andrea took care of us during the evening and she was great! - helpful and attentive. The service was 5* for sure. Location and ambience were also very good. Only complaint, if that, was that the menu selections were limited especially for my dining partner who is a vegetarian. Andrea tried to put something together for her but it was so-so at best. I had the lasagna and it was terrific. Will visit again.

    Absolutely incredible. Best calamari I have had in ages, my friends and I ended up ordering three pastas and sharing them. All were absolutely incredible and I think my favourite was the gnocchi. Can’t wait to go back for more cocktails and delicious Italian.

    Thus is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. The menu is limited which means each item is made with fresh ingredients and excellent preparation. In designing the restaurant they have kept many of the features from when the building was originally built. 5 stars all the way

    Loved the exposed brick, and industrial vibes. Ambiance is low lighting, and great service. The waiter came around often and spoke more than 2 words. Ordered the rigatoni with bone marrow and smoked bacon which was simply rich and creamy. Left feeling satisfied. There was no rush to leave either. Would highly recommend.

    Delicious meal before a Hockey Game. Best black ink squid I have ever had. Our entire meal was excellent from starters to dessert. Service was amazing, our server accidentally hit the wrong order for myself, but it was only a 4 minute delay and they gifted me a beautiful Cocktail for the hassle. Great evening and would recommend to everyone!

    Outstanding food and service . A little loud for my older ears and chairs were not comfy . I was expecting a different ambience and it was lacking but certainly can't take anything away from the great food( I had the pulled beef brisket Lasagna) and friendly , prompt and perfect service . I'd go again for sure . Location is perfect for a great meal ahead of a game at the Dome .

    Fresh ingredients in their pasta paired with unique beer and wine options that you can’t find elsewhere at other Italian Restaurants. Will be booking work functions here again 🌲

    Always a treat to visit! Cocktails are so yum! I had the gin raspberry beret. For starters you must try the mussels with fennel (add the focaccia to soak up all the delish sauce) the gnocchi was the perfect amount of spice and we indulged in both the tiramisu and almond chocolate cake with mint gelato. Drool worthy! Service was great, ambience was great. Perfect evening!

    Excellent food. Started with calamari then shared 3 pasta dishes (spaghetti Nero, rigatoni carbonara and tagliatelle) with my beautiful wife. One of the best pasta dishes in Calgary. End the night with tiramisu.

    The focaccia was amazing. The homemade tonic was good in their version of G&T. We had the lasagna, gnocchi and tagliatelle. All were delicious and good size portions. Service was great. Neighborhood is quiet but restaurant is cosy. I will go back again. Note: Not a place for families.

    Food is above and beyond some, truly high quality, chef crafted excellence. We shared four appetizers between two of us and although serving portions are smaller best served between 2-3 people. We walked out stuffed. The craft drinks are amazing and we even found room for dessert and it was all top notch. It is a busy, energetic noisy environment set in a really cool old building with small rooms and lovely ambiance. Servers scramble to keep things moving and patrons happy. We had a relaxed, drawn out dinner with drinks and appetizers and I'm looking forward to going back to try the pasta dishes. 5/5
