The lamp skewer was delicious. Most of the meals have pork and hence was not our choice. hence we ordered the vegetarian ricptini. it was ok. the service was super.

Pasta is mid

The food was excellent. I'm giving the food five stars because it was well worth it relative to the price point. And, because, it is one of the few places in Toronto that serve an authentic carbonara with Romano & guanciale & most importantly NO CREAM! Whoever told restaurateurs that Canadians want cream in their carbonara? My lemon tart was also excellent as was the service. I do think it would be nice if they had a soup on the menu - especially in Winter.

Great place for Italian food and great bar with a variety of drinks.
Great atmosphere for group dining.
I have been there 2-3 times. Last one, was 2 weeks ago for our Office Holiday Party. Great service in general.
Highly recommended!

Good place for a corporate lunch, has all the right decor to make it feel like you’re not far away from the office.

The pizza was above average and has the right balance.

Service was not as good as servers mixed up where each order went, was also seated next to the entrance so it was cold each time someone entered.

Good food and very friendly staff, though the service was a bit slow if I’m being completely honest 😬 But hands down, the BEST espresso martini I have ever had!
So, I would definitely be going back!

Came here for our corporate christmas party. The service team was excellent, everything rolled out as planned!

Foodwise, we got the seasonal set menu (fixed price per person) for the team.
- Shrimp cocktail: Fresh juicy shrimps with 2 types of sauces. Delightful!
- Mercatto bread: this was average. I personally prefer the magherita pizza (not pictured).
- Lamb spiedini: Succulent juicy lamb. Pretty good!
- 7oz flat iron steak: I really enjoyed this main course. The only downside was the cutlery wasn’t really suited to properly cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. Several of my colleagues had similar experiences.
- Tiramisu: Pretty good!

Not featured: Calamari, cauliflower and salmon canapes that were served during cocktail hour. They were absolutely delicious.

The quality of the food here at this restaurant is pretty good and their event planning team is easy and attentive to work with! Highly recommended for anyone looking to plan private events!

The lack of halal food was a clear disappointment for us. We were limited to vegetarian options or seafood.

Food was wonderful. Service was attentive. Love this place. Perfect downtown location and great value for money.

One of the most underrated places downtown. In the summer it’s even better with the sitting area and plants surround the seating feels very European.

Pizza is quite good and they have gluten free pizza that is quite good even. The staff are most friendly and pleasant to deal with. Always a seat here and prices are reasonable. Do yourself a favour and grab a bite.
