It's a little of this, a little of that and a whole new take on Italian. Our story is simple. Everything we can make fresh daily, we do. Including our hand-stretched mozzarella (made-to-order every day between 5pm & 11pm), our pasta, our signature 1/2 lb meatballs, our dough, bread and desserts. Winner of the TripAdvisor 2015 Certificate of Excellence.

We’re inspired by Italian passion and generosity. We like tables crowded with friends and family. Style without attitude. And of course, excellent cuisine.

    The food and service were excellent. The prices are a bit steep for the amount of food; but that was to be expected. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Our waiter was very good at cuiding us through the most delicious menu, giving us great suggestions on each and every dish. The food was fantastic I’ve been to most of the best restaurants in Toronto, Montreal and New York and I must say this ranks up there with the best. Don’t forget the gelato to finish your night off. Can’t wait to come back.
