I came here for a birthday party last night; which was great considering I'm usually in the neighbourhood and still had not tried this place though it was on my list.
It did not disappoint. Our waitress was attentive, the breeze coming through the window was lovely, and the decor throughout really made you feel like you weren't in Calgary anymore. A true urban escape!
We had the fried mozzarella, the pizza al pollo, and the capriciossa (I think that's what it was called). All delicious! The fried mozzarella pieces were huge so they're only served in pairs. Being three girls our server recommended two orders and that turned out to be just right for us.
They have an excellent selection of beers including fruli -- it is always a treat to see fruli on a menu.
Another wonderful thing about the place is that the acoustics and environment never get too loud so you can always have a comfortable conversation with your table mates. That's a big deal for me as I am generally soft spoken and usually have to repeat myself a few times. Sound is so often overlooked when it comes to restaurant design, I find.
I cannot wait to come back and try the tiramisu.
