Absolutely great experience. Every single dish we had was well presented and very tasty. The rack of lamb I had was arguably the best rack of lamb I can remember ever having (and rack of lamb is one of my favourites which I'm getting at many places we go to - so I had quite a few over the years). Also one of my daughters had the gnocchi which were like no other gnocchi we had, while my wife had the lemon veal scallopini and the other daughter the lobster pasta - also great. The appetizers and desserts were very good as well. Service was very attentive. Taking our coats and cleaning the table between meal items were a very nice touch. Even though a bit on the expensive side - at least I feel this is one of the places that justify the price. Will definitely come back!

Came here for a small event on their cute private rooftop patio. Seats 10 comfortably. We did tapas style and shared a bunch of appi's and dishes. Service was exceptional, server was very knowledgeable and patient. Gnocchi is the best we've ever had, crispy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside. G salad was a favourite, it is also a house famous special, charred brussel sprouts and goat cheese! Enjoyed some freah Burrata drizzled with a good amount of balsamic glaze. Shrimp was tender and juicy, and had a light tomato flavour. The veal was lemony and had a weird slimy texture, i personally was not a fan of this dish, but many enjoyed it. The tartufo was exceptional... coming from someone that is not a fan of them in general, everything about it was perfect. Had and didnt love the flourless chocolate cake and the pistaccio cheesecake. Good quality coffee! Will definitely be back!

Go for the food. Go back because of the staff. This was my first time here. From the time we walked in the door, the place was decorated beautifully, and the staff was friendly, helpful, well spoken, and incredibly knowledgeable about their restaurant. The gentleman that seated us (I'm sorry, I don't remember names, but I blame it on the food coma I was in because I actually COULDN'T STOP EATING) explained the dishes, what they were known for and what his suggestions were as well as what portions we should order (they do half portions). We ordered the penne vodka and the gnocchi with the appetizer of burrata e panzanella. They are known for their gnocchi, and all the food was sinfully delicious...but Holy Gnocchi!! The ONLY reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 had nothing at all to do with the food or the people, but the sound. The restaurant was full during our meal, and we had to speak pretty loudly to hear each other because the sound from other conversations carried so much. If you are looking for somewhere to eat Italian cuisine in this area, go here. Just do it. You will not be sorry.... and order the Holy Gnocchi!

TLDR; disappointing service, mediocre food. We arrived five minutes before our reservation. They didn’t even have our table set, so we waited. They also did not check our vaccination QR codes which is currently mandatory. Then we were seated. We were not offered water, drinks, anything, for the first fifteen minutes. It was clear that they were understaffed, and extremely busy. This wasn’t what I expected for a fine dining experience that I had prepaid for, for Valentine’s Day. The server seemed very rushed and anxious. When being asked for what kind of drinks we wanted, the server seemed to emphasize only to us β€˜Is just tap water okay?’. Not what I expected from fine dining and frankly was a bit offended/taken aback after seeing the way he served other tables. We asked to switch tables and they said it was probably possible. They switched us thirty minutes after we asked, after I’d reminded them. We had asked to switch because the tables are a bit too closely seated for our liking, and there were empty spots around the floor, so I was confused at their seating arrangement. We were the first out of four couples on our floor. We were the LAST to get our bread and food. The appetizers were okay. Squid ink pasta was good, roasted half chicken was okay. It just tasted like fried chicken. I think that their standard menus are better than the set menu they had for Valentines Day. One of the waitresses seemed new and very nervous, did not really look like she knew what she was doing. When placing our food down the plates clattered against the surface. I was in an off mood for the entire dinner because of the service. Even the couple next to us complained about their food, it’s temperature, and how long everything was taking. They didn’t even end up eating their main courses. They were the last couple to arrive but ended up leaving at the same time as us. Also, there was another couple that really did not seem to care about other people's privacy and intimacy as they were taking FLASH photos and videos throughout the entire night. Talk about being blinded by love. In total we paid $280 (with a 20% gratuity, PREPAID) for our meal and experience, which I had thought was reasonable for this setting but it really wasn’t. I feel cheated. I’m not coming back here again.

We were so fortunate to have this place stay open for us in the late hours. Thank you so much!! Delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful dessert. The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. Do yourself a favour and visit this lovely restaurant!

Good restaurant within the mid-Toronto area, easy in-out commute for those in the city as well as the suburbs. The menu is never standard. The Chefs keep changing the menu based on availability and season. Servers provided their daily specials along with the staple menu options. Quality of food and the time it took to get to our table was very reasonable for this style of a restaurant. Quantity and courses are justified at this pricepoint.
