   Reservation was at 5:45. We had to leave at 7 for Jubilee theatre. Surely enough time to have dinner and get to theatre!! We asked our server that we were rushed as we were going to the theatre. There were only a couple other tables filled at that point. She left us sitting several minutes before taking our order. And then, food arrived at 6:40..it took 40 minutes to get our food! It was a very hurried dinner. We had to remind our server we were leaving! There was no consideration for our dilemma. We arrived at Jubilee with 4 minutes to spare. Food was overpriced and extremely spicy. We like spicy food but this was extreme. My husband was disappointed in his seafood fettucine dish.. very little shrimp, no scallops, mainly mussels. Would have sent it back but would not get another entree in time. Disappointing and expensive, rushed dinner! We’ll find a better restaurant next time!

   Wonderful dinner for two! We enjoyed the yummy warm olives, roasted vegetable salad and the beef short rib special was absolutely delicious. Fritto misto was good. Service was attentive. Fairly priced.

   Very happy with our experience. Food was very well prepared, of good quality, very tasty and fairly priced. Our calamari and arancini appetizers were delicous. Myself and my daugther both ordered pizza, spot on!! And my wife thoroughly enjoyed her lamb shank. Atmosphere was lovely and the staff treated us very well. Made our New Years Eve. Great way to end the year!

   We had a wonderful NYE dinner here. Our appys, calamari and arancini, were served promptly, piping hot and, while they were what you would expect when ordering such dishes, were fresh, well executed and delicious. I was impressed by the creative specials they had on offer - the grilled lamb shank I had will be remembered for a long time. Service was meticulous. I really enjoy visiting this place.

   Excellent casual Italian food in the NW. Homemade deserts, excellent appetizers, fresh pizza, and homemade pasta!

   We had a great dinner here! Our food was great and they were willing to modify for my order as I didn’t want tomato sauce. It was quick, good ambiance and felt welcoming for kids. Our server Rafaela was really sweet and made it a great night out for us!

    Despite having notable chefs like Giuseppe Di Gennaro behind the scenes, our dinner was flat and disappointing. The bruschetta's grilled ciabatta was soaked and soggy from the toppings. What little of the tomato sauce for the gnocchi was bland and watery. However, the lamb shank was tender off the bone. While there were other miscues, the americano was not coffee but dark brown water - coffee from an Italian restaurant!! It will be a while before the next visit.
