    Great intimate Italian spot in Midtown! The service was very attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious—compliments to the chef! We’ll definitely be back.

    Service was okay but the food portion was unreasonably small. We paid $100 dollars between 3 people and we were still hungry at the end.

    Hi Bruce, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we’re sorry to hear that your visit did not fully meet your expectations. Your bill for three people was $88 before the tip, which came to approximately $100 with gratuity. Your order included only one pizza and two pasta dishes. We noticed that while your review reflects concerns about value, you also rated the food as 1-star. This is a bit confusing to us, as no concerns about taste or quality were mentioned during your visit. When our team checked in with your table, everything was confirmed as good. We truly wish feedback like this had been shared in person so we could address it immediately and ensure a more satisfying experience. Thank you again for your feedback.

    We were here yesterday for Valentine’s Day and had a wonderful experience! We loved every single course from their set menu, and the amuse-bouche at the beginning was a lovely surprise. The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and the food did not disappoint. We will definitely be back again soon and look forward to returning for Valentine’s Day next year!

    This was our second time here, and we came for Valentine’s Day and another visit for their regular menu. They never disappoint! Everything was basically perfect with a delightful five-course dinner that left us very full. The service, food, and cocktails were all excellent. Can’t wait to come back!

    Boring, blend food.Felt like the set menu was “cheaped out”. The dessert was a highlight. Service is attentive and genuine. All in all I would not return.

    I try to come here very often because it’s such a friendly, elegant, and cozy spot. The food is incredible, the service is top-notch, and the wine list is incredibly long and detailed, offering something for every taste (I love trying something different every time 😊). The ambiance is so romantic—an amazing date spot and a true gem in the neighbourhood. Definitely give this place a try and support a small business owned by a woman!

    Good and friendly service, menu a bit limited and inflexible. Basic protein added to a salad on the menu not possible. Steak dish is basically a lump of meat with no vegetables or starch. No advice on this from the staff. By the time it arrived it was too late to order the appropriate accompaniment. Wine menu limited. Probably wouldn’t return. Used to eat here fairly often but it seems to have changed a lot.

    Hi Wendy, Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear your visit fell short of your expectations. We’d like to offer some clarification to address any confusion: our menu provides detailed descriptions of each dish, including the veal chop, which is served as described. Guests are also welcome to choose sides to accompany their mains, and we regret if this wasn’t clear during your visit. As for our wine selection, we have a cocktails and wine-by-the-glass menu, along with a 12-page wine list for guests who wish to order a bottle. Your feedback means so much to us, and we’ll use it to improve communication and ensure every guest has a great experience. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

    The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy. However, the food was a major letdown - bland and mediocre. Overall, disappointing.
