| - Was recommended this place by a couple of friends, who also joined me - have been craving some authentic Italian all holiday season.
ATMOSPHERE:
The way the tables were structured made the place feel a bit cramped, but it also allowed more seating for what is clearly a pretty popular place. We were lucky to get a table in the corner, and the servers were able enough to get to us when they needed to. The dining area had a nice buzz going on, but still quiet enough to have some dinner conversation.
SERVICE:
Our food was fairly quick, and our waiter came to us when we needed. It seems as though most of the server's here are actually Italian - our waiter was at least, as he clearly demonstrated when "showing me up" with the proper pronunciation of "Bruschetta" lol.
FOOD:
Started out with the Bruschetta, which was fair. The bread could have been a bit crustier, though there was a decent amount of seasoned tomatoes on top.
Although this place had a decent selection of pizzas, I went with the "Penza," which is a Rigatoni with vodka, pancetta, green onions and chili pepper. The ingredients were fresh, the pasta was cooked well, and the pancetta really brought out the flavour of the dish. The creamy tomato sauce was among the best I've had.
VERDICT:
I'll be back to try some of the other pastas. Place has a decent drink selection as well.
