My partner and I had an incredible experience at Viaggio for my partner's birthday. She loves pasta, and I knew we were in for a treat, but we could not have expected just how incredible the food was! We have found one of our new favorite spots and will be back soon. On top of that, the service was perfect. Our server was incredibly helpful and made some amazing recommendations on what to choose. My partner and I are both sober, and the mocktails were incredible.

We had an exceptional evening at Yukashi. Chef was very entertaining and answered all of our questions about the ingredients and Japanese cuisine. Everything was creatively presented and flavourful. We enjoyed the sake pairings and trying the chef’s own sake creations. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. It was fun and elegant.
