We went on a Thursday night around 6PM. It wasn't very crowded. It filled up quite a bit by 7:30PM. The service was excellent, very attentive servers. We collectively tried the bolognese, shrimp linguine, and the Toscana pizza. Everyone was very pleased with their dish. The Toscana pizza (chicken, artichoke heart, roasted red pepper, goat cheese, and I think basil pesto) was good. I'd definitely go back and recommend this place to others.

Compared to the higher profile restos on King and Queen W which seem distracting in comparision, this is a quality place with old-skool understated charm and excellent traditional northern Italian food. Try the whole snapper for those willing to look their food in the eye - its fantastic. Also check out the Notte della mamma (mother's night) at the end of the month, when all cooking is done by the staff's mothers and proceeds go to charity. A real class act.

The menu left me absolutely TORN…there were many routes I wanted to go: there was pizza, pasta, the specials…and then….I saw BRICK PRESSED CORNISH HEN. Our server explained it to me as follows: they cook the hen with a brick placed on top (exactly how you imagine) so that it cooks both sides crisply and keeps all the moistness within (like so). I was convinced. And pleasantly surprised! Everyone else’s meals looked wonderfully put together as well, and although it all took a while to arrive, to be fair there were 20 orders made! In the meantime we enjoyed rounds of bread, bowls of mussels and anitpasto plates. Yum. There was a spicy salami on there that was very memorable. But, the wine was flowing and it was simply a lovely evening of celebration. There also suddenly appeared a lovely vase of red roses for the centre of the table!
