The best experience- honestly the best service in town, modern ambience and spacious so you can hear one another. The eggplant parm is to die for and so so many gluten free options. I love this place.

Partner and I have always wanted to try this resto and finally made it in. It’s a family owned and operated business and from the moment we were seated we were treated as family. Jean-Carlo (sp?) was so welcoming and gave us a full menu run-down, Simona, his daughter, shared her favourites and helped me decide - I wanted to try every dish!! Everything is made fresh, in-house and it tastes that way. Service was quick and thoughtful and our food delivery was timed perfectly so we never felt rushed. They keep all red wine temp controlled, which is very much appreciated. The portions are INCREDIBLY generous - enjoying again for lunch today :) can’t wait to visit again. Perfect for any occasion: we were there for a date night but could take your family, your friends, or your love and have a wonderful time. Thanks again!
