The pizza was amazing ? but the lasagna was even BETTER. I also highly recommend the Alfredo fettacci with chicken. It’s amazing.

It's been about 5 years since I have been there. I was very much looking forward to it, I had been frequently in the past. Always had excellent food and great service.Something has changed...is it just the cooks?Food was good, but not amazing. I had the scallop and prawn lemon risotto. Two Scallops and 3 prawns. Risotto did not taste lemon, but has a bitter flavour that I can't describe. Not unpalatable, but nota good flavour.Rack of lamb was enjoyed and so was the lobster ravioli.Desserts, baileys creme brulee...was fridge cold, the brulee was definitely done well in advance.Affagato...Soooooo disappointing!The last time I was there, yes a long time ago, they had a REAL espresso machine, and made fabulous espresso's...Now, its NESPRESSO ☹.Coffee with NO flavour.What a shame.I didn't realize it was a Nespresso machine, until I mentioned that the espresso was terrible.It wasn't removed from the bill.The small things that make a huge difference.Hope Carmelo understands QUALITY IS IMPORTANT IN ALL AREAS.Atmosphere: it is nice, but we were seated by the door and with it opening and closing constantly, not the most comfortable on the cool evenings of winter.Also they have a lamp that seems to flash multi colors, and is irritating when you are seated near it.Will I go back...Yes, probably.A one off not GREAT experience is no reason not to give them a second chance, when history has been so good, but the passing years, have there been changes made to lower the qualities?

Wonderful service.Just had dinner this evening to celebrate my husband's.The waitress did not rush us through our dinner as we told her we wanted to have a leisurely drink before dinnerFood wonderful and they even delivered a large serving of tiramisu with a candle as it was my husband's birthday.Sorry did not get our servers name but she made the evening special.

Nice, cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant. Good wines, great service. Unpretentious menu. Not overpriced. Very nice spot. Good for a date night?

Pretty nice overall! Not the very best Italian you’ll ever eat, but it’s in a good spot for the theatre, etc.Edit: To be a bit more clear, in response to the place's comment, I should say that it's not the very best Italian you'll ever eat in Vancouver.Rather than sour grapes and splitting hairs, I suggest either taking google reviews as motivation to improve, or just telling yourself that they're some random person on the internet and ignoring them.

We had a great experience here. Service was prompt and friendly, the food was delicious, and while not cheap, we found the prices in line with the quality and area, and would be happy returning.
