First time was fine (lunch, we were the only patrons), the second time was horrible. Took my sister and her family when they visited Toronto and it was such a mistake. The service was average. The food was terrible - her pasta was over-salted (literally like someone forgot they had added salt before) and the revised dish tasted like they'd just rinsed and sent back. Salmon was dry with precisely 5 potato pieces given as vegetables. Everyone's dishes lacked any flavour. Food court would've been a better choice. No offer of a complimentary dessert or at least removing the over-salted dish from the bill. Had to keep searching for the server (we were a table of 6 people so hard to miss) but no luck. What a waste of a vacation dinner. Please don't go there.
Superb. The food took a little longer but, quality always does. Everything was very good and fresh. The prices were moderate and surprisingly so as we expected it to be more expensive. The tiramisu.. outstanding !
I usually don't write reviews but I wouldn't want others to waste their money here. If I could give this place "0" stars I would. The service and food were terrible.
We went there on a Thursday evening around 8pm. The restaurant didn't appear to be busy. 2 couples on the patio, and a group of ?5-6 inside.
We sat on the patio, it took about 15 minutes to get the food menu and water then another 30 minutes to get the cocktail menu, so about 45 minutes before we ordered. When we ordered food, I asked the server if I could see the wine menu. He told me no he wasn't getting me one, and the two options were "red" and "white" and he could recite it to me, and that was it.
When the food came another 50 minutes after we ordered, we received what I would call the biggest embarrassment to authentic Italian pizza. Caesar salad was like bagged salad from the supermarket definitely not worth $16.The Sicilian & Parma pizzas we ordered were cold, the tomato sauce looked like it had sat out on the crust and wasn't fresh, the crust was hard, yet over done and not edible. The Sicilian pizza had four single slices of onion and not cooked salami. I rather spend $5.00 and grab a slice from a generic pizza place then waste money on garbage. The food was absolutely disgusting. To top it off when we got the bill it was $86.00, the sever said "it's okay if you don't want to tip me"
This was honestly the worst dining experience I've ever had. The service is rude the food is absolute garbage. Don't waste your time and money at this place.

***SAVE YOUR MONEY*** I was looking to celebrate my birthday with a nice meal and great atmosphere. The service was great and the decor was a bit dated. I ordered the margarita pizza and it was the worst or close to the worst pizza I've ever had. The dough had tasted like frozen pizza, stale and dead. The appearance was not much better. For the price they charge for their food I would have expected better quality tasting food.
Their pizza looks nothing like the one on their website.

If you want to have a great dinner night, this is not a place to go.
We ordered the carbonara pasta and the gorgonzola pizza. The pasta was way too salty so we had to reorder again. (even though we asked to redo it but it was still too salty to eat). The pizza was just average.
The server was nice but the service was TOO SLOW.

Incredible food experience. Authentic Italian flavours and they have a new drink menu as well with amazing cocktails! The food has this beautiful homemade feel that makes it very special. Super friendly staff, prime location, and I was very happy with the prices given the quality of the food. Fully recommended!!
Food was delicious and the staff were really friendly and attentive. Went here for Winterlicious on a Wednesday evening, and ordered deep fried rice and meat balls as an app, steak and mushrooms with truffle sauce, pork tenderloin in a Riesling sauce, and cheesecake. All really delicious - the sauces for the meat mains were amazing. Would come back to this place.
