Delicious. All dishes were delicious. Had the duck linguini and vodka sauce pasta. Both very good. The carpaccio was our favourite. Bit of a different spin on a classic. As a local who’d like to go more regularly, some more affordable wine options would really hit it out of the park. Food for thought (or wine for thought 😂) Highly recommend!

We’ve been here a few times and each time we’ve had an excellent meal with excellent service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The parking can be a little tough, but if you want to do a little walk to the restaurant then I’m sure you can find parking around the downtown area.

They have a great selection of interesting pasta main courses. Our mains were the linguine pescatore and pappardelle bolognese. Both mains were excellent. I particularly like the bolognese dish. Portions are very generous. Their bread is to die for!!! The service was very friendly and extremely good. A great meal, we will be returning!

Great evening celebrating an anniversary! Jeff was amazing as both host and server, very knowledgeable and accommodating! Chef went out of his way, coming out to speak with us, giving us sample wines from his recent trip to Prince Edward County. The homemade bread is to die for, we understand why they charge for extra, and it is worth it! The appetizers were delicious! We had the Duck Risotto and the Rabbit Gnocchi which were both large portions but were just amazing!!the homemade tiramisu was the finale! Will be back and would recommend having dinner here at this gem on St. Paul Street!

Enjoyed late dinner with golfing buddies. For most it was the first time attending. Service was top notch. Appetizers delicious. In house bread fresh and scrumptious. Entrees very tasty and scrumptious. Ample wine selection. Highly enjoyed by all.

The atmosphere was nice. But not cozy and warm, like you might expect from an Italian Restaurant. The staff was excellent and very welcoming. The tables were a good distance apart, so as not to feel crowded. The food came out quickly, even though the restaurant was nearly full. The food was delicious. I had the seafood saffron risotto. Large portions. You are each give one slice of the homemade bread. If you wanted a loaf it was at a cost. The rosemary butter was a nice touch. The price was on par with other restaurants of this type. CONS. I found the noise level in the room to be very loud with chatter which I believe was because the music was very loud so everyone had to raise their voice to be heard by their dinner partner. Also the choice of sound track was not conducive to a nice relaxing Saturday Night Dinner. Maybe some soft Italian music playing in the background would have been more suitable. I did mention that to our server and she commented that the Chef and Bartender choose the music. If you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner this would not be the place I would recommend For that reason alone I would not return to this Restaurant.
