My parents lived around the corner from this place for five years and I never once went in. I'm not sure why it took until lunch today for me to finally give it a whirl. Both the food and service were great.
We were greeted immediately, seated in a nice booth, and the host kindly took our coats to a hidden coat room in the back. The fresh bread they bring out at the start of the meal is delicious; moist and unlike any other bread I've seen served at a restaurant. I wouldn't wish a gluten-allergy on anyone, but I wasn't complaining that my lunch date had to leave all the bread for me. The only disappointment was that they were out of my first choice (pork penne), but my back-up (a pizza special) was darn tasty. The price point is pretty typical for downtown Oakville, but the place lacked a lot of the pretension that accompanies some of the other options. I would go back.
