    Been here a handful of times and came here to celebrate husband's birthday. We loved the carpaccio and burger, the fungi pasta was lacking flavour this time around, very bland which was quite disappointing since that was our favourite dish from you guys. I also requested if you guys did anything special for birthdays in the notes but no acknowledgement of this.This was a one off but still thoroughly enjoyed the food, good service and ambiance.

    First time Italian cuisine. Wine tasting is a bonus. I learned a lot tonight. First tasting menu I tried ever with different groups of wine pairing on each dish by a certified wine specialist explaining how the pairing works and how they interwined. Thank you.

    Food was excellent. Ambiance was great. Service was exceptional. One star was lost because of two things: (1) the table was not wiped before giving us the dessert menu. There were crumbs on the table; (2) the Negroni did not have the big square ice cube but had ice chunks. Excuse given by server was lame - they had no room to store the ice cubes.

    Staff was very friendly and welcoming. This reservation was my first time here and was very satisfied with the level of service. Food was really good and drinks tasted great also. Space was smaller than expected but I guess that is also partially because off season for patio, would definitely go back and really want to go back during patio season to check out the patio vibes. Overall great experience and will for sure be going back
