I am not a huge a fan of Italian cuisine mainly because good authentic Italian restaurants are hard to come across in the east end. This place however did not disappoint. For appetizers my friend and I shared the smoked salmon with onion, and capers served on fried hash brown like potato cake called rosti. The potato itself was delicious and the salmon as well. I loved that they didn't serve the brown salmon parts which I dislike because of the strong fishy taste.
The mains and sides are ordered separately hence the price quickly adds up! I ordered the seafood stew with mussels and squid in a tomato broth. It was hearty and pleasing! I paired it with a half size risotto which wasn't anything rave about. However my friend's fettuccine was prepared very well. Next time I plan on getting that!
Definitely worth a try, the place was buzzing even with freezing rain warnings.
