I'm shocked that there is NO Yelp review for this little gem of a restaurant! Ok here goes.
I've been there a few times for lunch and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Its well located and there's ample street parking around. The ambience is very pleasant and the dining area spacious. It appears busy during lunch and the service ie prompt and attentive.
The menu is great with some excellent selections of, well what did you think? Gnocchi of course...with a variety of different and optional sauces. Yummy! Those of you who are unfamiliar with Gnocchi, it's simply a tiny potato dumpling...and you get lots of it, smotherd in Italian sauces that only your best ltalian friend's grandmother can make! Talk about fresh tasting flavours! from al pesto to da mare...my favourite sea food sauce. Creamy, rich, ricotta, decadent brandy sauce!
What more can I say? Having grown up in a country making the finest brandies since1654...these culinary experiences, infused with brandy, cultivate a continuous love for the cute little Gnocchi dumpling. What would the world be without the Italian influence? Desserts served with Espresso and Grappa! A fine end to a business lunch!
I'm told that this is the most romantic restaurant in Calgary...I cannot comment on this assertion as I have not had the pleasure of eating there with a loved one! Definitely worth going to!
