“ Always delicious and consistent food here. Service is friendly and efficient too. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait for food but they have a very small corner to cook and they are usually busy so it is understandable. ”
“ Serving authentic Italian fare on the bricked lanes of Yaletown, this restaurant is a great spot for medium sized groups or a date night. For drinks and nibbles, a bowl of pasta, or a full on multi-course meal. The open plan kitchen and bar really brings the action close to your table. Irrespective of what we ordered, we could smell every dish being prepared, and hear every drink being poured. Without needing to walk too far, table service was timely. Italian cuisine usually comprises of fewer ingredients per dish so it is always a good meal when you could pick out and complement the way individual components tasted. This place was no exception: the balsamic vinegar in the bread dips was outstanding, and so was the razor thin beef carpaccio. Our two pasta mains were both made fresh and al dente. We could taste the nuts and herbs in every bite of the Rigatoni al Pesto, and the burrata on top gave the dish an extra dimension. The Squid-ink Spaghetti Amalfi with its huge tiger prawns, lemon zest and more nuts and burrata (yay!) was a wonderful combination. Given the versatility of the menu across different occasions and group sizes. We would recommend multiple visits to make the most of their offering. Bravo! ”
