    Very hectic place, not in a good way. Every time that the waiter passed by me, I felt the whole plates & bottles that was place next to us, was going to drop of my head. Won't going back at all.

    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!

    This is a terrific small neighbourhood restaurant with wonderful food. It never disappoints. The staff are extremely accommodating in every way. I’ve eaten there many times in both small and large groups. At the end of the meal, everyone is always happy. Try the spaghetti with mushrooms or one of the specials. You’ll go away with a smile on your face.😀
