We have always had a wonderful experience here and delicious food. Erin, our server, always goes above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our meal is perfect. He makes all our meals here memorable.
What a beautiful spot! We hadn't tried the Italian in a long time , but now we're hooked! The manager, Caitlyn, took fantastic care of our party. She handled my gluten allergy with ease. Try the gluten free pizza, it's the best I've had! And the gelato is delicious. The charcuterie board is second to none. I definitely recommend. If you haven't tried the Italian in a while, it's time to give it another try.
Kate came and said hi to me and my family. It was my youngest boys 39th birthday. Staff treated the two girls (grandchildren) like they were their own family. Food was as excellent. We hadn't been in a while but definitely going back soon. Ian Borton

The waitstaff is attentive and professional, with some servers going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience.

The venue is welcoming, and the service is often exceptional, with staff eager to help with recommendations and special requests. Michelle, our server, was outstanding, providing professional and amazing customer service. The kitchen team also contributed to a wonderful experience.
Visitors appreciate the authentic Italian taste, which is more genuine than most Italian restaurants in North America. Many enjoy dishes like the pizza Margherita and a glass of Prosecco. The food is flavorful, and the atmosphere is lively, making it a good place for a relaxed dinner. The restaurant also offers small touches like birthday desserts and quick service even on busy nights, adding to its charm. One guest was happy to try the table side pasta made in a wheel of Parmesan, describing it as so good despite being a little pricy.
However, some guests noted that service can be slow, and staff attention to detail could improve, especially considering the prices. There have been comments about the Spaghetti Carbonara being very spicy, likely due to a heavy use of black pepper, which can affect the overall experience. Additionally, some guests felt that special occasions, such as birthdays, were not fully acknowledged, with one mentioning that despite a note for a birthday, there was no recognition or dessert from the server. Overall, the restaurant remains a favorite for many, offering good food, friendly staff, and a lively setting for both casual meals and special occasions.
