Disappointing. I have been going there for years but it was my first time back since the renovation and while the restaurant looks great, I found the prices outrageous, the menu quite limited and was disappointed that they no longer offer pizza. Sadly, we won't be going back. But, I will say the service was excellent.

The overall food and service was very good. People who have difficulty with stairs should probably not go here, since all the washrooms are in the basement.

We hosted a shower luncheon for a bride-to-be today. Natasha did a fantastic job helping us organize seating, layout, food and drink. The upstairs floor was all ours for 26 guests. There were plenty of servers, the food was plentiful and delicious. The cost included everything- wine, beer, passed and family style appetizers, three choices for main course and fancy coffees. Fruit for the table. We provided the cake.

Had lovely dinner upstairs in the patio. Started with some grilled calamari which was excellent, grilled and artichoke and a margarita pizza with a nice bottle of Pecorino crisp white wine. Mains were the branzino fish with some lamb pasta in a pomodoro sauce which was delicious! Service was attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend having dinner on the patio upstairs which will be a great experience!

Since visiting Italy, had a hard time finding a satisfying Italian dinner spot. This place checks the list and the service was impeccable! Will definitely come back here again, they also have a wonderful patio space too.

First time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The service, food and atmosphere was amazing all throughout, and our server was so kind and attentive.I came here for my birthday dinner and was so happy with the overall experience!

We had a lovely meal there last night! The seafood pasta was delish as was the lamb ragu and veal dish. Good bottle of vino! Sat upstairs on the veranda which was very nice!

My friends and I eat lunch here often and we love the friendly atmosphere and the excellent service. The food is excellent. Missed a few things on the new menu and beg you to have some cookies available with coffee as well as to have some oat or lactose free milk. But otherwise a lovely experience.

Great spot in the avenue neighbourhood, and everything was great

From arrival to departure, attentiveness and interactions were superb. It's a long time favourite of ours but this is the first time back after renovations. Same great food, better seating and lighting. Excellent wine choice, smaller menu than before but our favourites were still there. Never disappointed here.
Definitely one of our favourite Italian restaurants! Authentic flavours and style. Great Team & service.

Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The food simply didn’t live up to the high prices. The pasta (RIGATONI BOLOGNESE) tasted like it came from a can — cold, bland, and undercooked. The fish (WHOLE BRANZINO) was no better, with a watery, flavorless taste that suggested it had just been defrosted. It was honestly hard to believe this place gets so many positive reviews.
To make things worse, the noise level was unbearable — far too loud for any kind of relaxed meal. And while service was generally polite, one of the older waiters made some inappropriate jokes that felt out of place and unprofessional.
Overall, not somewhere I’d return to or recommend unless major changes are made.

Perfect dinner! Just a shame there is no gelato. It's so refreshing after an Italian dinner especially in the summer.

Always great food and great service, new renovations looked great too! I prefer the dim cozy vibe to this more modern take though!

The food and service is fabulous. Great value for your dollar too! I'll be back because it's a great neighbourhood place to go to!
