I finally tried this little gem on Monkland for myself to curb an ever present pasta craving and it really hit the spot! Really nice cozy atmosphere (indoor and outdoor seating) with that great NDG neighbourhood feel (the seating is a little tight inside but still comfortable), warm and friendly customer service oriented staff and delicious food , you can't really go wrong. We tried the Bellini (refreshing but not too sweet) and the old fashioned (this one was good too but strong!), only thing is the drinks were a little small. Naturally we opted for pasta dishes -We tried the tagliatelle with veal ragu (bolognese) and the cavatelli barese (sundried tomato, Italian sausage and rapini). Both were delicious and had that home cooked feel with restaurant quality complexe flavours , great texture and cook on both pastas. The dishes are served with bread/olive oil and salad to start. The salad was simple mixed greens and light dressing , the greens were crisp and the dressing was light&flavourful. The bread was fresh&the olive oil was tasty. I'm already thinking about all their other dishes that I want to go back and try so it's safe to say I will definitely revisit this place again and again !
