    Fabulous experience. We went with the family for a birthday. They accommodated the kids really well with a simple pasta in tomato sauce. And the tomato sauce was SUBLIME! Among the best tomato sauces I've ever tasted. The (adult) pizzas were magnificent and filing! We definitely will return.

    One of the very best dining experiences I've enjoyed in Toronto. The ambience, warm welcome, thoughtful gestures (we were celebrating a milestone birthday), food and attention to detail were altogether outstanding! Love that the space is intimate, small, offering a quiet atmosphere. We could actually hear ourselves talk! Looking forward to visiting again soon!

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! We were a large group celebrating my birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly special. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality went above and beyond. The food was simply outstanding! We ordered a variety of dishes—some had pizza, others pasta, and some steak—and every single plate was delicious. Everyone in our group was beyond satisfied with both the flavors and the impeccable service. This is, without a doubt, one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Toronto. The atmosphere was also perfect—cozy, intimate, and welcoming. It truly felt like a family-run restaurant where every dish is crafted with care, and the service is heartfelt. This is not a chain restaurant; you can tell that every detail, from the food to the customer service, is given personal attention. I am incredibly grateful to the staff for making my birthday such a special and unforgettable experience. Thank you for the excellent service, the warm hospitality, and for making this celebration truly remarkable. I can’t wait to come back!

Your thoughtful review means the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another memorable experience!

    Food was delicious and service was great. However, Pasta ( sciagliatelli) and meat and fish dishes were small portions though. I was expecting more.
