  • (2.5 STARS) After hearing good things about this place from multiple sources, I really wanted to like this place more when I came for lunch. But I don't know if it was just the dish I ordered or the fact that the College streetcar took forever to get me there, but I was not impressed. I will start with the good: the space itself is lovely and warm. I didn't know that there's actually a selection of grocery items like De Cecco and Barilla pastas, Italian cookies, etc. for sale in the middle of the restaurant. Cute. I also loved the rustic communal tables (1 at the front, 1 at the back -- there are regular tables too). The ambiance is great for a low-key meal with friends or a date. Service was relaxed yet prompt and they let my group stay for a long time without hurrying us out. The espresso is velvet-y smooth and they have a great selection of Italian sodas and juices (I went with the pear juice, but was intrigued by blood orange juice on the menu). My friend had the arugula beet salad, which looked delicious and she said it was really good. We both tried the arancine as an appetizer, which was yummy! It's stuffed with cheese, veal, and peas (wish there was a bit more cheese though) and tomato sauce is served on the side so you can decide how much you want and so the arancine stays crispy on the outside when they bring it to your table (not soggy). Now for the not so good: My main was disappointing. I had the Ciccio -- meat and cheese stuffed ravioli in a butter sage sauce. For $15 and a relatively small portion, I thought it was overpriced. The sauce was tasty, but c'mon, it's butter, so of course it tastes good! The ravioli itself was dough-y and definitely did not seem homemade. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen the same ravioli in the frozen food section of Loblaws... Ultimately, this place is more style than substance. It's pretty out of the way for me, so I don't think I would be back.
