| - Excellent food. Great ambiance. Service sub par.
Took my GF there for her birthday dinner.
A. Service:
Was expecting a lot better service than what we received.
It was constantly slow, the table next to us would get served, and the servers would not look at us or approach us to take our order till we flagged someone down. This is a very small place, yes it was packed, but coming to our table every once in a while was not too much to ask for. We did towards the end get a very friendly server, but unfortunately the damage was done.
B. Food:
Excellent food overall. 4.5/5.
1. Grilled calamari starter - Decently prepared. But not wow. This is why it loses .5 star in the food category.
2. Lamb special. Ordered by the GF. She loved it. Medium. Grilled to perfection. Just the right amount of juicieness. I wanted to steal the entire plate from her.
3. Chicken special of the day. I can't for the life of me remember the name. Again excellently prepared. The chicken, the mushrooms, the cheese on top, all spent just the correct amount of time in the oven.
4. Tiramisu. One of the best I've tried in any restaurant, be it in Canada, USA or even Italy. The girl couldn't stop raving about it.
5. Marble cheesecake: light, fluffy, creamy. Just right. Not your typical cheesecake. This place is worth going to just for their desserts.
6. The wine pairing was nice. We got Cesari company's Mara I believe. Went well with the meal.
C. Ambiance :
A great date location for mississauga. It's like you are in a small town in Italy almost.
Overall, they may be having an off night, and I will give them another chance because of the superb food and nice ambiance.
