ATTENTION OWNER !! Picked up order at 9:30pm Thursday March 14,2024. Lady at bar counter, in very aggressive manner asked me why you came from front door ? Literally, ordered me to come through back door. At the end said ,” Don’t COME HERE AGAIN” in loud voice. That is how you treat everyone here ? Very unprofessional and rude lady. I can’t believe she is really a server and can serve people anyways. This was very unpleasant experience for me. At the same time, there was a young girl who was very polite to me.I don't trust someone who is nice to be but rude to the waiter because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position." - Muhammad Ali. Owner ! Yes, you have option to ignore my review but this customer service will cost you a lot in coming future again option is yours. And yes, we deserve respect and you don’t pay us and even you pay me I wouldn’t tolerate this behaviour.Well, I was reading some other reviews. Looks like people are fan of your food but not the service which means chefs are covering all bad service part. Some people believe they faced bad experience because they are asain and same point hit me too. If it’s true can you please write on your door ,”this place is not for Asians”. ?

The food here is spectacular. I’m from Toronto and my boyfriend suggested the Chicken Greek salad and eggplant and ricotta Parm… It was utterly delicious. They also added the bread knots That were so fresh and warm. The Greek salad was delicious. It had a good amount of feta- the chicken was seasoned and cubed perfectly. The olive oil was rich, this salad was perfect. The eggplant Was covered in delicious marinara sauce and melted cheese. In the middle of the Parm There was a ricotta spread that was absolutely spectacular. Thank you so much! Definitely will be coming in the next time I’m in town.
Put us in the worst spot although the restaurant was half empty and there were open tables the whole night (yes we did made a reservation first). We had to sit in a corner in the middle of the walkway, if someone opens the front door we can feel the cold air, the storage was right in front of us, and the table didn’t even have the glass top like all the other table, just the tablecloth. Maybe because we are Asian ? Food was not that good either. First time i ever leave a review, will never come back.

Wow.. Once again on a Valentines Day. Delicious... you have come through every time we order (which is frequent as its one of our fav Italian spots). Sambuca mussles, stramboli, all their pastas are yummy. I'll keep trying new things as this restaurant because like I've mentioned, everything has tasted great.

Stopped in to try some pasta dishes. We tried the pesto gnocchi and chicken parm. I was having a hard time searching for a really good pesto gnocchi in Winnipeg and found it here. The sauce had great flavor and the gnocchi was nice and fluffy. The chicken parm was okay but the gnocchi definitely stood out a lot more. They serve a large portion of nice hot twist buns. Our server was great.

It's not hard to tell there's a standard of excellence that gets put into every order. Everything made fresh in house makes it feel like an authentic Italian experience. Amazing service.

This place is a great somewhat hidden gem. The food seems to be made in house and is very tasty. There is a great selection of Italian dishes. The serving size is amazing and the price is very reasonable bordering and inexpensive. Would recommend to anyone wanting some

Ordered food in Jan 6/2024, ordered chicken Alfredo, paid extra 6.00 to add chicken ..the Alfredo sauce was not smooth and creamy but chunky and tasted like it had vinegar in it, the chicken was so white, no color , the bread knots had no flavor whatsoever, we also ordered 2 pasta carbonara.. real Carbonara has peas and is creamy and smooth..it tasted the same as the Alfredo and it tasted sour and was chunky..not sure if the milk was sour or vinegar or lemon was added but in all was a very unpleasant experience..we were so looking forward to enjoying our family dinner but was so very disappointed and will not order from this restaurant again or refer it to others..we don't order in often so to waste 80.00 on food that we couldn't finish was equivalent to throwing money in the garbage?

Dining area was a little small and crowded. The food was good but the portion size wasnt as expected like all of the reviews. Had tortellini and was done in like 2 minutes. The plates look deep so you think your getting a lot but in reality the sauce barely coats the tips of a fork and theres like 15 small tortellinis. Would not reccommend the tortellini. Also when pouring water they kept spilling on the floor and didnt clean it up which is a slipping hazard to everyone. Not a great experience like we were hoping and dont plan on going back.
