We were glad to have gotten a table outside on the patio as the inside of the restaurant was quite loud when we were there. Service was quite good and the food was delicious!

God! Some of the best food I’ve tried in Calgary! I went on a date with my girlfriend and we were extremely happy with everything, we both tried different plates of pasta and the lemon shrimps, highly recommended!!!

I came to celebrate. The restaurant was busy. It's a nice atmosphere, great staff who took care of our stay at the restaurant. The food was delicious, they have a lot of choice.

Over priced, one persons portion was 2/3 of everyone else. And it wasn't anything special for flavor. Pretty generic Italian restaurant.

We came here as a group of five to enjoy our last evening together. We ordered a bottle of white wine and some antipasti to start. Unfortunately, our experience quickly took a turn for the worse.

The waiter poured the entire bottle of wine into five glasses without saying a word and walked away. From that point on, the service kept deteriorating. Our server, who looked more like a gigolo with his overly styled hair, gave us the cold shoulder, slammed food onto the table, and even made inappropriate comments throughout the evening.

Despite the poor service, we ordered a total of three bottles of wine and still planned to leave a cash tip out of courtesy. Before we had even finished our evening, the waiter grabbed the money off the table and disappeared—completely unacceptable behavior.

As for the food: some dishes were great, others not so much. The mussels were amazing, but the bruschetta was disappointing. The Saltimbocca, a classic Italian dish, was especially bad—nothing like the original version.

In short: hit-or-miss food, but if you want to enjoy your meal, make sure to avoid this particular server. We expected much better for our final night out.

I had the worst dining experience of my life here :( very unfortunate. I waited a little longer then normal for food (I was fine with that) then when I received it, it had a long black hair in it! Mind u, I was eating there alone and have short hair. When I brought it up to my server they insisted it was my hair then had the aggressive Italian owner kick me out. The whole time I was nothing but respectful. I understand this is a new establishment but that kind of customer service is surprising to say the least. Save your stomach and money and eat somewhere else.

The place was pretty nice, but a bit noisy when we got there around 8 pm. The food was great and the portions were so big we were struggling to finish the dish.

we were so excited to have a spontaneous lunch date, the atmosphere was so nice! then we were let down by the energy. it felt like the server was annoyed to serve us? like i was in trouble for something but i didn’t know what lol. monotoned, obligatory sentiments, and stepped on my girl’s foot without apologising? otherwise, food was decent, needed more salt.

We stopped for lunch, the food was DELICIOUS, we had the days special tortellini and the pesto tortellini. The portions were huge for lunch. Very traditional inside. The server, I feel was the owner, seemed almost annoyed we were there (we weren't dressed up and the clientele in there seemed much older and wealthier than we appeared). Food was outstanding, and would definitely be back to try more, I'm upset I haven't been before as I know this place has been around forever, I now know why.
