The restaurant has a lovely patio and is very nicely done up. I also like that they take reservations, unlike many restaurants in Toronto.
I came in with high expectations for the food, having read all the great reviews of this place, including on Yelp. However, the food was average, or at best slightly above average. I ordered the Mafalde ai Funghi and it was a little chewy and a bit dry (it seemed as though the pasta had been plated and then left out for a bit before it was brought to the table, which is why it seemed a bit dry). I also ordered the Polipo and frankly, the octopus was a tad bit rubbery rather than tender. The food was by no means bad, but I did not truly enjoy it, and I was by no means impressed with it. It is unlikely that I will visit this place again; there are plenty of brilliant restaurants in Toronto that I would rather frequent.
