    Had an amazing dining experience at Cassius! The staff were very welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and wine selections. The food was perfection - fresh pasta made in-house and authentic Italian influence. Highly recommend the carbonara & tiramisu!

    My friend and I ordered pizza to share and two mains. My friend did not touch her main (pasta) and asked for it to be packed up to take to go. The waitress then returns the bag and realized her pasta was missing. When returning back in a matter of two mins, the manager stated that they threw the food out. I genuinely think they just reheated it and reserved it to someone else. As it was a matter of mins. When asked for a remake of the pasta or a refund for the pasta, the manager refused.

    We came in hopeful, but the experience was disappointing—aside from our amazing waitress, Benita, who was attentive and welcoming. She was the highlight of the night and deserves five stars. Food was underwhelming for the price and drinks were lacking as well. Great ambiance as well which was why we were so disappointed!

    This is a new restaurant so I understand there are some growing pains. Service was seriously lacking. First thing when we sat down hostess came over to say we had 1 hour and 20 minutes to dine. Then we asked for tap water and they just brought us bottled water. When I realized it was bottled water I was told they don’t offer tap water. Our server was nice, but the restaurant seemed disorganized and everything took a very long time. Like over 20 minutes for a glass of wine while our food got cold. None of the staff we spoke to had even a basic knowledge of wine even though they have an extensive wine list. We ordered apps and left. The apps tasted good but nothing special. Ambiance was good with lots of dressed up people.

    New venue in King West, trendy vibe and well presented main dishes. Loud enough by even 730ish that it was difficult to hear the servers. Our experience overall was good, however the over attentiveness of the service (seemingly to what we would say was the off balance ratio of more staff than customers ) was outshined by the top notch food served. Excellent in house made fresh pasta and tender octopus were winners, with surprisingly large portions. We would be interested in dining in again...but likely after a couple of months so they can find their stride and confidence in upscale service that matches the experience.

    I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. From the start, things felt off. The bread brought to the table was noticeably stale — not the fresh, warm welcome you hope for when dining out. When we asked for tap water, we were surprised to find that it wasn't offered, something that's standard at nearly every other restaurant. Instead, we were made to feel awkward for even asking. The food itself was fine — not bad, but certainly not exceptional or memorable. Given the prices and atmosphere, we expected more. Perhaps the most uncomfortable moment came when our waitress pointed out that we "weren't supposed to fill our water glasses to the top," as per management's instructions. It was such an odd, unnecessary comment that left us feeling like we were doing something wrong just by trying to enjoy our meal. Overall, we left with the sense that we didn't quite belong there, and frankly, that we weren't particularly welcome. It’s disappointing when a restaurant’s environment overshadows the food, but sadly, that was the case here.

    Came here last night for date night what a gem! Everything we had was delicious, and the drinks were just as impressive. The grilled octopus is a must try perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The vibe was spot on with great music and an amazing ambiance. Whether you’re out with friends or on a date, this place totally hits the mark. I’ll definitely be coming back!
