| "I love this place!" |

by Angela (from Calgary)
May 2007 - I've eaten here a few times - the most recent being last week when I took my mum (who was over from Scotland) there for her birthday. As usual the food was fantastic - and the veal was to die for. They even made a special effort and gave us a birthday cocktail and put a candle in my mum's dessert. The staff give you the right balance of privacy and attention .. I recommend this place to anyone who likes nice italian food in a cosy atmosphere .. I will most certainly be back again soon.

November 2006 - Met with friends tonight for an Italian feast. Decor was nice, casual, busy but intimate. Extensive wine book with a few selections in the Martini section; included a Mojito in the mix. Wine racks adored the walls, with the ocassional sound of doors opening to remove a bottle from the rack behind the screens that separate dining tables. Tables located in the upper floor seemed to have more privacy because tables are distant from one another. Tables in main section of restaurant seemed to be more open to conversation from adjacent tables. Menu was not extensive, but presentation was everything. I started with the Insalata Verde - very nice salad with a light dressing. For my entree, I chose the Porchette - alittle light on the meat for my carnivorous taste. The best dish was chosen by my friend's wife who chose the pasta with the shrimp and scampi in a spicy tomato cream sauce. For the same price as my porchette, she had a tasty dish of pasta with at least 4 large prawns and 2 scampis. I had to play with my food to extend the time eating it. I could have wolfed it down in 2 minutes but I wanted to pace myself with the other pasta eaters at the table. The dessert (pear tart) was delicious. Overall price/value/ambiance was pretty good. Free parking at rear.
