What a great experience!
This has been my parent's favourite restaurant for a long time so we all decided to have a big family dinner here. The only way we got a table for 9 for a Saturday night was via reservation. It was packed when we got there around 7 and still pretty full when we left. I really suggest making a reservation if you're planning on eating here on a Saturday night.
I've read a lot of reviews that complain about how outdated this restaurant is and though that is true I found it quite charming. It really shows the character of this place and of the owners. This restaurant has been around for a long time and I love how they've kept to their roots instead of trying to continually catch up with today's trends. I found it to add to the experience rather than take away from it.
The food was fantastic. No one at our table had any complaints. We got a few appetizers to share, which were delicious, moved on to our meals and finished with dessert. We went for Italian and that's exactly what we got, delicious authentic Italian.
Considering how busy the restaurant was, service was awesome. Our server was so attentive, informative, charming, funny...he was pretty great.
A+ all around.
