    We had a great experience here! Wonderful service and the food was a big hit! Everything from the great bread, well prepared calamari /prawns, rave worthy lasagne and delicious pork chop to the gelato at the end was well executed. So glad we gave it a try… definitely will go back!

    Great hidden lunch gem. Restaurant is terrific for conversation as the staff have thoughtful service rythmn and the ambiance is quiet versus other places that are extremely loud.

    Tasty food and lovely service. The spinach ravioli was deliciously different. I was surprised to see such a nice restaurant nearly empty on a Saturday night, but it meant a quiet evening for us. Hopefully things pick up!

    Great food and service. Interior finishing would benefit from a cosmetic facelift, as it's a little tired.

    This place reserve to be packed! Starting with the great waiters and finishing with the food!! It was the best lasagna I've ever had, the ambiance was very cozy and romantic. The prices are okay, compared to other Italian restaurants in Downtown Vancouver. Usually I come here for lunch and business meetings but tonight I decided to go for dinner with my coworkers and overall was a great experience!
