    This is a great restaurant. The braised duck tagliatelle was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. Incredible flavours, super rich, perfectly cooked pasta. Great wine list and excellent dessert. Wonderful staff too!

    Overall, a good experience. However, our server seemed to be rushed and spoke very fast, kind of seemed like they were trying to get us out to turn over the table. Food was delicious! We started with the beet salad, which was very small, but it tasted awesome. We also got the spaghetti al limon, spaghetti pomodoro, and the bison steak. Both spaghetti were delicious, specifically the pomodoro, I think it's the best pasta I've had in the city! The bison steak was a bit chewy and a small plate for $40+, but tasted good.

    For our first dining experience, we couldn't have been treated any better if we tried! From sitting to finishing our meal, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional wait staff, complimented by the hostess who kept everyone flowing quite well. The food was another experience altogether! Flavors my pallet enjoyed at each interval. The compliments of fresh flavors and savory sauces, kept my mouth watering for the next course! Thank you for the enjoyable evening, will definitely come back!

    Somewhat pricey but the food was very good. Service was pleasant and efficient. Wines were expensive. Lowest price was $50. My husband says he wouldn’t choose to go back. I would, but only for a special occasion, as we don’t tend to spend $300 (including an appetizer $22, two mains $74, a bottle of $75 wine (retails at $25), two desserts $30, an espresso $5, one liqueur $9 and tip. Some may feel this is good value. For us, it was a bit high. Overall it was a positive experience.
