    We sat the bar and had a great evening. So many special thoughtful things throughout the night. Bread service was delicious and the desserts at the end were a treat. We had the cod and the wagyu and both were delicious. The pasta was also very tasty. Great selection of cocktails and wine. Was pleased to see some sake selections as well. Special evening out.

    Absolutely loved dining here! The food was fantastic. Our server Adam was super friendly and knowledgeable regardjng the menu. I ordered a negroni and my partner ordered their house red (Sangiovese) and both were wonderful! Gnocco Fritto was a great starter and we also enjoyed the calamari which was some of the best I’ve ever had! Their pasta list is long and has great variety. The pappardelle is a must

    Exceptional from the moment we called to advice of our delay to the leaving. Every single staff member provided the same outstanding service. The curated menu beyond our expectation. Thank you for making our celebration one of the best dining experience we’ve had this year. We’ve been to several Michelin star, recommended restaurants in GTA - you have restored our faith. Amazing . 10 stars if there was one!
