Our first time there and my daughter was Celiac. Absolutely amazing that they have a dedicated menu. Food was delicious. Sarah our server was wonderful! She was helpful, smiling and kept checking on us.. we will definitely be back this summer to enjoy more delicious food and the ... wonderful service. Read more

Fairly decent Italian restaurant with a nice covered patio outside. The food is alright but didn’t stand out too much. It is still very filling even tho portion size seemed a bit small. Service can be a bit slow as others have mentioned but the server was excellent and came ... on to refill water and check on us multiple times. Read more

I ordered gluten free ravioli and the rest ordered assorted regular pasta dishes. Mine came out hardened, tough, and in a puddle of oil (not in a good way). I think it sat under the heat lamp for quite some time. The regular pasta dishes did not seem to have ... this issue. I also got a calamari appetiser that ended up rubbery (overcooked). I wonder if the addition of the patio in the summer makes the kitchen too busy. I have been there in the winter where I received much better food. I was disappointed this time around, but it being one of the few restaurants I feel safe eating at, I will be back. I hope it's better then Read more

WOW! what a way to enjoy my Friday night. The patio was gorgeous, we both felt like we were on vacation for a few hours. The drinks were amazing and well priced for a restaurant in their location & quality. Our food was incredible I got the butter sage gnocchi ... and my friend got the sausage rigatoni, it was EXACTLY what we were craving. Once again the atmosphere was divine and our waitress was super attentive. Yes there was a bit of a wait but nothing stand out or unexpected from such a busy and dedicated restaurant. The past two reviews have clearly never worked in hospitality themselves complaining about a wait and normal things that can happen during a visit… Would. Absolutely. Recommend. Read more

Only non-alcoholic option was in a can, which I thought was strange. Also they glass was way too big. Pizza was decent, tasty and lots of flavor. Bit too much cheese I would say. I got a small (10 inch) New York and it was around $20. Service was quite slow, 1 ... hour for just pizza and 2 beers. I had to go inside to pay my cheque Read more
