    The entree’s were very good. However, the appetizers were very disappointing - especially the charcuterie board for $28 was expensive for the very few slices of meat and cheese provided. The caesar salad was also disappointing with no real dressing. The desert ok but nothing to rave about. Love the restaurant setting and ambience.

    The food and ambience were absolutely phenomenal. Best pasta I have ever had! It did take quite a bit of time for the food to arrive however it was well worth the wait. I would not recommend if you are in a hurry but if you have the time to savour the experience you will not be disappointed. We had a show to go to but were so happy with the experience we went back after for dessert!

    The food is truly excellent. Great service and a nice quiet ambiance. We got there early because we ate after a matinee at Theatre Calgary so it wasn’t very busy. This is now one of my new favourite restaurants.
