| - Visited on a Saturday night for a table of 8 celebrating a joint birthday! Reservations were made just the day before and the restaurant was very accommodating.
Food: Our table got a variety of dishes ranging from the lamb, Gnocchi Gorgonzola, pizzas, and what I ordered - PENNE CAPRI. I don't know if my expectations/standards for pasta are low - but this was the best pasta dish I've had in my life. Seriously. The penne was cooked perfectly and you could just tell by the TASTE alone that the pasta was made in-house, which is then validated by a walk to the washroom as you pass by the open-concept chef's area. From what I could tell, everyone at the table loved their food - which is a rarity in my friend group of picky eaters and dietary restrictions. It's an amazing feeling spending time with your friend group celebrating and everyone is relishing in culinary nirvana.
Service: SERVICE WAS IMPECCABLE. Unfortunately, I arrived late and didn't get a chance to hear our waiter introduce himself, but he was so patient with our rowdy group. A bunch of us were constantly whispering in his ear the various requests for the birthday boy & girl, and he gladly listened with a smile. One of my friends requested a special whipped cream + shot concoction and he fulfilled the request - no questions asked. When I paid, he even reminded me that gratuity was already included (tables of 8 or more I believe?), and recommended I skip the "tip" step.
*The only thing I'd note is on the night of our visit, the washrooms were a mess, but I think it had to do with some construction going around in that area of the restaurant.
