| - Went here on Monday night and it is an awesome little gem of a place.
Decor: tall ceilings, exposed brick, vintage images of Spadina, exposed beams, and fantastic lighting. The place is beautiful.
Service: Just fantastic. The food is good (more on that later), but I would come back for the service. Everyone is happy that you have come, they know the menu, they care about you, and they have a great sense of humour. Its a nice change from the too-cool-to-be-here kind of service that you get from some restaurants.
Food: We ordered quite a bit between the two of us.
Fire roasted asparagus: delicious, well cooked, great accompanying sauce with just the right amount of acidity so that its not too rich.
Bread and olives: The olives and pickled vegetables hummed with rosemary and were seasoned to perfection.
Salumi for two: I think we need to order for four next time so we can have some to take home. The prosciutto wasn't overly salty (a huge plus) and was just melt in your mouth, the spicy capicola had the right amount of heat for us chili-atics, and there was one more but I forgot the name of it.
Pizza: We ordered the Gianpaolo which was just delicious.
Dessert: We had the semifreddo which was delicious. We were sad that we didn't order another, but we were so full.
All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to coming back again.
