Review: Lunch at the restaurant.
We were around the neighborhood and felt like having Italian for lunch. We stumbled upon this establishment and surely stumbled in the right direction. This review is for the restaurant beside the marketplace.
Bottomline: Nice modern decor. Solid food at the right price.
Atmosphere: Beautiful decor. The restaurant has a chic but classic Italian feel to it. Service was good. It was interesting to have to walk by the marketplace to get to the restaurant.
Food: we ordered the Gnocchi Poutine to start and the Clam Linguini Diablo and the Pollo Cacciatore for the entree. The gnocchi poutine was a nice fusion of Canadian and Italian cuisine and worked quite well together. The cook on the gnocchi was great and the stringy cheese curds made the dish very appetizing. The clam pasta was okay, but the spicy red wine tomato sauce on the pollo pasta was fantastic. The flavors exploded in my mouth and I immediately craved for more. Unfortunately, the rest of the dish was a bit over seasoned.
Value: Great price for what you are getting for lunch. Portions were decent and I've been told you can get the same price on pasta nights on Sunday and Monday.
