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.

Ordered vongole pasta for take out. The pasta had some sandy like textures, I am assuming from the clams. Half way through the meal, we found a small rock. Towards the end of the meal, we found another. Truly disappointed and could have been quite dangerous if my kid ate it!With the price they are charging, I would assume they atleast clean the clams.

The atmosphere here is wonderful, and the food is delicious. It's a great place to dine out with family or to have a fun time chatting over drinks with friends. The ambiance is pleasant, the flavors are outstanding, and the waitstaff are exceptionally friendly.

The food was absolutely delicious, was my first time going here with my sister and we both love pasta and they serve a very generous amount of pasta. We ordered the Shrimo Alfredo and butternut squash risotto and it was so well made and delicious. The garlic bread they served us was massive so had to take the rest home because it’s just freshly made and fluffy and tasty.Would recommend for a dinner with friend, a date or celebration as the inside of this restaurant is so beautiful.

We at dinner here on a Friday evening, it was a visually appealing atmosphere but very loud. We had a hard time communicating due to the noise level and we thought it was due to no noise baffling between booths or large plants to absorb noise.We were disappointed that there wasn't any complimentary bread, nor would any bread be provided with the pasta dish (but were told we could order it for an extracost). For dinner we ordered the Truffles Mushroom pasta, Caesar salad and garlic bread. The Caesar salad was great, had a nice tang and not too much dressing. Unfortunately the pasta dish was not as impressive. The portion was small and had probably 1 mushroom sliced up through it (for $32 I expected more, a slice of bread and a few mushrooms). They didn't offer fresh cracked pepper or parmesan cheese, and there was no salt or pepper at the table.Overall this restaurant doesn't offer what other Italian restaurants routinely offer, and I didn't find a high enough quality of food to outweigh the lower value.

This is only my 2nd time ordering from here. Picked up lasagna and foccacia. I live literally 2 blocks away from this place. When I called to order, I asked the girl, is the lasagna big enough for 2 people? She said yes. I took her word considering it was $32...Well, the lasagna was smaller than the portion for a 5 year old. Horrible. Not to mention it was cold. Clearly they didn't microwave it long enough...The foccacia however was the bomb.But I can still make better foccacia from home and will never order from here again or recommend this place.Just a shame to Italian food.

This was a treat. The service was exceptional and the food put me into a very pleasant food coma upon returning home. The pasta was delicious, the complimentary dishes were quite nice and the dessert had me wanting more in my mind, even though my stomach was saying "we might burst!"While it might seem alittle pricey, you are getting every bit and more of what you are ordering. Highly recommend for anyone who looovvveess pasta.

Prices and portions out of whack, subpar food quality. The appy platter $34, no imagination, out of context, poor blend of meats and condiments , and not good for that amount of money. A small slice of lasagna prepared earlier in the day, and reheated lukewarm for $32?What is going on, no sauce, dry… they do not understand concept of garlic bread, and at $13 they should study up quick, for what cobbs bread sells next door for 3.99. Small portions, enormous pricing, it’s like we are living in 2035. Food quality subpar at best, go elsewhere, value for money, and overall food quality is completely out of touch with reality; support businesses that do not price gauge customers. We left this meal, feeling slightly robbed, not a good overall experience. Paid the bill, left a tip, but wont be back to enjoy this overhyped restaurant. Still hungry. And unsatisfied with meal, we actually went to McDonald’s next door afterwards. Sad

The waitress was lovely!!! She had a big smile on her face, was very polite, easy to talk to and asked questions to get to know us. She was the only person serving so I don't blame her for not noticing my empty water cup, hence the four star rating. This place looks kind of fancy and everyone is a little dressed up, so we felt like we didn't fit in wearing our casual clothes. Regardless, we were treated the same. I was so excited to see vegan pasta on the menu as it's pretty rare for non-vegan restaurants to offer that as one of their vegan options. I was happy I got to try it but I will not be ordering it again. The alfredo sauce was creamy but was so bland we had to ask the waitress for salt and hot sauce. The pizza on the other hand, was one of the best I've ever had! My non-vegan friend and I shared both of the dishes and we could not stop thinking about the pizza after we left. It was well-balanced and the crust was perfectly cooked. Usually when I have thin crust pizza, it's somewhat burnt and tough. Next time we come back we're just going to order one pizza each! They also had a deal going on where the pizzas were discounted, so our total for a split bill was only $22-23 each minus tip.

We had great experience eating here. The service was relatively fast and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating.We got the brussel sprouts as an appetizer which was a mixed bag for me. The brussel sprouts were cooked and seasoned well but it was almost ruined by the generous drench of in balsamic vinegar sauce. But the rest of the food was pretty great!The beehive was the perfect blend of sweet and salty/spicy, although I wish they could have added a bit more honey. We also got the shrimp pizza which was a nice break away from the traditional Italian pizzas as well as the mushroom pasta. No real complaints from me on the rest of the menu.It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in Langley!

I’ve eaten here many times before which is why I was so shocked on my last experience. I ordered the food to go just the spaghetti and meatballs and the garlic bread. It took almost an hour and half for me to get my food. Then why I did get it instead of the regular garlic bread it was just a piece of a dry roll, and there was only 1 meatball with the spaghetti. Very disappointed with the entire experience
