| - My friend recommended that we should give this place a try and so we did! We came here for a celebratory lunch thing right after our class and let me tell you, it was a great idea coming here.
The interior of the place was great, has a very italian hipster vibe to it with the wooden tables and the soothing and warm colour palette of browns and beiges (I guess they're kinda the same colour family huh, let me get away with it so I can sound super fancy). There was a bar in the centre of the restaurant and TVs around the restaurant. There was a pizza kitchen that made pizzas that was separated from the actual kitchen, where they made the pastas and other dishes.
Before I get to the food, the service here was AMAZING! As we walked in, we were all greeted with open arms and lovely smiles! Once we were seated, we were given a super awesome waitress. My friends and I absolutely loved her. She was just super down to earth, great to talk to and loved interacting with us. She would check up on us and keep us entertained with her stories and comments. Sometimes she would chime into our conversations and provide her own insight about the subject of matter that my friends and I would be discussing at our table.
We ordered the Baked Carbonara, Zucca, Calamari and the Pesto Pollo. They were all so delicious and super fresh! The Baked Carbonara and the Zucca were pretty standard but what made the Baked Carbonara stand out was the cute little poached egg that was added on the top of the dish for extra creaminess and flavour. To be honest, the calamari wasn't all that good. It's hard to get calamari right and I can't blame them! Now the Zucca...oh oh oh Zucca. You are so delicious. Who knew butternut squash ravioli would taste so good?! This dish was absolutely delicious and guess what, these cute little raviolis are my new favourite.
We also ordered the White Sangria and that was also delicious.
Overall, this place has become my new little favourite spot to eat if I'm around the Square One area but would I venture up here from Toronto to eat? Nah, but if you're around the area or live close by, by all means please do check it out!
Also something that I want to add in, I've heard that dinner time gets really busy and things get frantic, I think if you really want to enjoy the experience from this restaurant to it's fullest, you've gotta come here during lunch.
