    The food was very yummy! Only negative was that due to the busy-ness during the holiday season and all the group parties, extra tables were put in and it made it a very tight fit. but the food outshone that slight discomfort.

    Service was terrible - we had to ask multiple times for items. We had to ask for bread after the table beside us were given some. We had to ask for parmesan cheese as we both ordered pasta. We were never asked if we wanted tea/coffee or dessert. We had to ask for the bill three times (we had a show to attend so it was important to leave on time). The food was just mediocre. This is not a place I would go back to even though it is super convenient to my workplace.

    food was delicious and ambiance was inviting. only reason not giving it 5 stars is we felt rushed since a waiter was coming to us too often in hopes we would leave soon

    Food was ok. Wait time was also not too long. However, the major issue was one of the dishes (pasta) had a big piece of plastic in it, that had clearly fallen in while it was being prepared. The wait staff simple took it away and offered a coffee as an apology. Felt like a bit more could have been done here.

    Was a last minute choice for dinner based on it was available. Off on a side street this busy spot is rightfully a neighbourhood favourite. It was busy and a bit noisy. We sat immediately. Service was a bit bumpy but reminded me of service in Italy so I guess a bit authentic that way too. Food was great. We had buffalo mozzarella, shared a pizza and fried cheese to start. Dinner was lasagna, seafood pasta special, bolognese and a tomato chicken pasta. All were really good. Prices were very fair for portions and quailty. A great option for a casual night out for really good Italian. Will definitely be back.

    Food tasted great. Service was not good. No free refills on soda (not expected). Got 1 refill, 12oz glass at most. Cost me $6 for a Diet Coke.
