Simple and authentic -- my favourite Italian restaurant in the city. For those that know real Italian food, it's the homemade tomato sauce that sets this place apart. It literally brings me back to my childhood.
The atmosphere is intimate, but casual. On busy nights, it can get a bit noisy and a little crowded, but that's part of the experience. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of ingredients, but if I had to list a complaint, I'd like to see larger portion sizes. That said, I was fed by an Italian grandmother as a child, so take that for what you will.
Service is always friendly and warm; it's the perfect neighbourhood restaurant.
