This resto was surprisingly big and neatly decorated. I had never noticed it even though I'd walked by it many times. It's really quite cool inside.
In terms of the food (which is always my focus!), it was adequate. Nothing to rave about really. My lamb ragu pasta was pretty good, although a bit on the oily side. My friend liked his lasagna, but it didn't taste all that authentic to me. The dishes are reasonably priced though. Perhaps the disappointing part of the meal though were the desserts. The tiramisu tasted basically like coffee and air, and the chocolate baci tasted more artificial and mass-produced than not.
What really killed my experience at this resto though was the seating. There's a huge range of tables and seating, but me and my friends were seated at one of the booths. The benches on each side of the table were incredibly low, so the table ended up reaching almost my chest, which didn't make for a comfortable dining experience. Worst of all though, the benches we were on were way too wide, so if you wanted to rest your back on the backrest your torso would be at a 45 degree angle!! I needed a 12-inch pillow if I wanted to lean back comfortably. By the end of our meal my back was literally sore! Never before has the seating been such an issue.
I wouldn't rush back to this place anytime soon. There's a number of good Italian eateries in Yorkville, some of which serve better quality food within the same price range (I'm thinking Dimmi or Nervosa).
