Went for dinner with friends, and in spite of the considerable amount of people being waited on, staff were incredibly courteous and responsive to our food and drink requests, food was served in a timely fashion and hot. Full credit needs to be given to the staff for managing a large contingent of customers likely there for a Christmas get together, while at the same time, managing the requests of those of us that were just there for a dinner with friends.

I promise I will change this to a much deserved 5 ⭐️ review IF:

You improve your meatballs.

You guys do so many things so perfectly. Your Arancini Are unrivalled in the city, your sauce is perfect, your portion sizes are on point. In the spaghetti and meatballs, entrée, the meatballs are too small, too hard, And not flavourful enough. My suspicion is you are freezing them, and if that is the case, I would strongly urge you not to.
