Our group of four had a wonderful experience in your restaurant last night. Our server was exceptional (I believe Lannie?). Personable, helpful, observant and fun to interact with.The food from the arancini to mains to desserts was fantastic. Cocktails were lovely. Absolutely delicious, great portions, and beautifully presented. A memorable dinner. Can’t wait to come back.

Whenever I visit, the portions are generous for the price point (which is rare nowadays) and service is always great. I got the vegetali which is penne, fresh spinach, mushrooms, diced tomatoes & rose sauce. Perfectly seasoned, it wasn't too salty and just tangy enough for my liking. I was left feeling truly satisfied with my meal. For dessert, their tiramisu is divine! You have to try it because it's the best way to end off your dining experience.I also saw that with bigger parties/bookings, the restaurant tries their best to bring out everyone's order around the same time. It takes hard work to time manage all of that which they do well. Much appreciation for all the staff here.

Had the calamari to start. It was lightly coated, seasoned and crispy. It was delicious. For dinner we both had the Diavolo our go to if there is no chefs special. The owner always remembers us and seats us at the same table. It is a warm, cosy and intimate place for dinner.

Food is tasty but quality has gone down from a few years ago -hardly any fresh basil or bocconcini on the bruschetta. Still the same large portions so leftovers are guaranteed.An item was dropped off that we asked about but didn’t order. The server left before we could say anything. Since we showed interest and had a large bill, I thought it was a little extra they wanted to give us. As we were about to dig in, the owner’s wife apologized and took the item back to the kitchen. Within a minute, the same item was brought to the table next to us (not sure if it was the same plate though).Other plates were taken without a word as we were still eating. They are always happy to pack everything up for you to take home.Overall, the staff are extremely charming and friendly but communication and timing could be better.Thank you for keeping this restaurant alive and please feel free to reach out if you’d like more feedback.To the owner, it’s interesting to see your difference in attitude when responding to criticism or positive comments. Wishing you the best in your business venture!

I went to this restaurant me and my friend. And we did not book a reservation. There were two of us. And behind me there was a couple. And after the restaurant waiter said we do not have room. We walked out. And they said the same thing to the couple behind us. So as we were leaving to the car. The waiter came out and said to the people we found a table for two. And we were there in line before the couple. And the waiters were very rude. Do not recommend.

Amazing food and excellent service, which is so rare these days. The special was perfect: breaded basa with linguine, my hubby had the best dill pickle pizza ever, and the Gnocchi, my sister had was beautiful. My twin cousins were visiting for their 52nd birthday, and they received a birthday card! Definitely recommend it, and we will go back soon!
