The meal was excellent. The stuffed gnocchi was my favourite dish of the night! The combination of taleggio and truffle complemented each other very well. The service was attentive and friendly. The waiter made my birthday dinner feel very special!

We had a family-style lunch. The food and ambiance were great. Only one thing was a bit confusing - we expected to have one dessert per each person, but received several portions to share between the group members. Other than that, we were very pleased with the service.

Don’t know how we missed this local restaurant. It’s fabulous! I’ve been to a lot of Italian restaurants in Toronto and now this is one of my favorites. Our meals were delicious, the salads, chicken, pasta with amazing Pernod sauce, drinks, great desserts as well. And the service equal the quality of the food. And it’s a lovely place to boot!
