Stopped in for a quick lunch while visiting Barrie. Food is always delicious whether we eat in or take out. Server Lauren was pleasant, helpful and prompt.

Best veal sandwich north of the GTA. Veal was very tender, the bun was fresh ( crusty on the outside and soft on the inside) and the toppings were fresh with a very nice tomato sauce.

We enjoyed the Arancini balls and garlic knots as an appetizer and various pasta dishes as out main and everything was well made and delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive and I especially enjoyed the Christmas themed cocktail.

Food is always consistently great, it was quite busy so that may explain the slower service and the missed garlic knots (which finally came when I asked) But we still love the place and we are so glad that it is going back to dinner service after the COVID pivot.

Had the large shrimp and scallop Alfredo. Portions were perfect, food was very tasty, desert was amazing (cheese cake). Service was great, staff is very friendly and accommodating.

On a first date with a girl I just met and hoping we would have a nice romantic meal together was quickly squashed. I was shocked to hear an older man berating his staff yelling at them and making them feel worthless. I've worked in food Service before and I can't believe the way this man was treating his staff. After the appetizer I couldn't take it anymore I decided that we should leave and go somewhere else. Maybe they have financial issues I don't know but by treating your staff that way is an instant turn off and I'll never come back. I certainly don't support restaurant owners that treat their staff like they mean nothing. There's a thousand other restaurants to go to in Barrie pick another one. The arancini was very good though.

The best lobster bisque that I have ever had - any time it is on the menu be sure to order it. All the servers are phenomenal and they make you feel extremely welcome.

The Italian eatery has always been a go to for us. The food is completely amazing and the service is always fantastic. Since we moved away from the area, we always make sure we stop in on our way through. Barrie. Yesterday we dined in and Lauren provided super friendly helpful service. The gnocchi is the best in the world. Love this place.

Wow! Never disappoints! Caprese salad, Chicken Marsala, Veal Parmesan and a couple glasses of Pino Grigio…all delicious! Friendly and fast service. Can accommodate gluten free/celiac. Huge portions…enough to bring home for lunch tomorrow. Making this my new favourite spot.

A true authentic Italian spot in Barrie what more can you ask for? I just wish they would bring back the Buratta sandwiches.

Lots of Italian options in Barrie these days, but this location isn't one to sleep on.

Prices, portions, and service are all stellar. Every dish we had was classic in presentation and taste. Nothing left on any plate by the time we were through with the meal.

Servers were all extremely friendly, accommodating, and prompt. Couldn't ask for more as a patron.

After we were done we grabbed some desserts from the small grocery front they have on the other side. Lots of awesome authentic Italian desserts and pantry stock options too.

Can't wait to go back and try the pizza and other pasta options.

Came here a few times. Each time I experienced really poor service. There was a few very rude and grumpy women who work there. There's an older gentleman who works there (pretty sure he's the owner or manager) who is very kind and has great customer service. Not sure why the women are so rude though... The food is good including the frozen food section, atmosphere is ok, service is very disappointing.
