We had a great experience here! Wonderful service and the food was a big hit! Everything from the great bread, well prepared calamari /prawns, rave worthy lasagne and delicious pork chop to the gelato at the end was well executed. So glad we gave it a try... definitely will go back!

What a lovely restaurant! We still talk about it. The food was fantastic and well portioned. From the fried calamari starter that came with giant shrimps as a bonus and the pasta to the pork chop entrees, we loved everything! And service was patient and friendly. We were given great recommendations on wine and food and not once did we feel rushed about a time limit as per almost 99% of the restaurants in Vancouver. This will now be my first choice for Italian food if anyone asks...

Tasty food and lovely service. The spinach ravioli was deliciously different. I was surprised to see such a nice restaurant nearly empty on a Saturday night, but it meant a quiet evening for us. Hopefully things pick up!
