The interior of this establishment is lovely- it would be suitable for many different types of occasions. It was very busy and lively as well.
The bread and olives provided were really nice and we were already wondering why the reviews were so mixed on Yelp. We were planning to come back again.
However, things got a bit rocky after this. We had ordered the proscuitto+formaggio charcuterie, Margherita pizza, seafood linguine with fresh pasta, and affogato. The charcuterie selection was okay. The selection of cheeses wasn't very pleasant to us- it was two hard and very strong bitter cheeses and one that was slightly softer and less strong; there was also a large chunk of parmesan. We were pretty shocked to find that their Margherita pizza was just a cheese pizza with 4 pieces of basil. It was cooked ok on the top but was soggy on the bottom and it was not a Margherita pizza. The pasta was also okay. The fresh pasta and the flavour of the sauce were both nice- the portion size is a bit small. The clams tasted good but were overcooked. Our first affogato actually had some weird bits in it and we found a sizable piece of plastic. They replaced it with a new one. The second one tasted good- I wasn't very fond of the chocolate pieces in it since they were in the cold dessert their texture became waxy.
Aside from this, the service from the waitresses and waiters was quite good. Most of the staff members were very nice and helpful. But a large reason for why we probably won't return, at least to this location, was because the manager responded rudely to something my partner was trying to explain- he was quite angry about this.
Overall, you're paying for the ambiance. Perhaps just going to the bar or brunch would be better but we'll be going somewhere else if we want Italian food for dinner.
