Great atmosphere. Great tasting foods and presentation! Bit noisy from a couple tables. Could trim off the elasticky membrane from the calamari - bit embarrassing to eat or contend with

Great experience, we all can't wait to go back and try more items. Caprese salad was a standout, and all other items were full of fresh ingredients. Menu is set up to be great for sharing family style.

Loved this place! The service was perfect, it was nice and quiet and the food was wonderful. We shared prawns and my mom had the Vitello Osteria and I had the catch of the day - my salmon melted in my mouth. Great selection of wine. This is an authentic Italian experience in the heart of Kensington.

We were celebrating a Birthday on a Monday night.restaurant was pleasantly full ,but noise level was very comfortable and we were able to comfortably converse. Two veal dishes ..delicious and one pasta meal with sausage . Dishes were generous and quite delicious. Prices were very reasonable considering where prices have risen to at most restaurants. Service was excellent ..only two servers on the floor but service was managed at a comfortable pace. Will definitely go back soon Desserts were delicious particularly the Apple strudel and ice cream
