    We love this place. We have noticed shrinkflation with food portions. It’s very noticeable. The only saving grace was that a side plate of extra Noble salad was delivered to our table in error. Allison said not to worry. The food tastes great and service from Allison was on point. Wonderful person who prides her self. Her attention to us while having many patrons was remarkable.

    Love both Toronto locations (Don Mills plaza & Front St.), great food selections. My favorite pasta is the Mushroom Truffle Mafalde - they do a phenomenal job with it. Other pastas we love are the Pesto Pollo Penne and the Carbonara. One of my colleagues had the salmon and it looked delicious! All generous sizes and extremely delicious. Their focaccia is also to die for! Service always great. Highly recommend this place.

    Visiting from Newfoundland and this was the best meal of our trip (and we went to several bib gourmand restaurants)! Absolutely amazing Italian food, with phenomenal service and a chef who puts a lot of heart into her food and her restaurant. I’m so glad we came here— all four of my party had a different pasta and they were each amazing in their own way— I’ll be back for sure, would highly recommend !

    The crab carbonara was terrible. The restaurant was the quietest I’ve ever seen - and yet we had to chase our server. I usually love that place but yesterday they fell flat.
