What makes me and my family come back again and again is exceptional food, great service, warm cozy atmosphere and good price.
Always look for the daily special on the chalk board on top of the pizza oven. It's always good. We had tried most of the dishes on their menu. For appetizers, we love their salads. Both of their grilled and fried Calamari are tender and tasty. The mussels itself of course depends on the season, but their sauce is so good, you will want to finish the last drop with the garlic with bread.
I don't normally like cheese pizza, but I just can't resist their Margherita pizza. I'd say it's addictive! we love most of the pasta, especially the medaglioni ai pomodori secchi and their pasta sauce is to die for.
When you order pasta dishes here, you can change the pasta and the sauce to your liking :) If you have a favorite Italian dish you want but it's not on the menu, talk to the waiter/waitress. The chef may make it for you. That's what we were told by the waitress.
This place is always busy, especially in the weekend, when they don't take reservations. We are well prepared to wait when we walk in the door. The hostess is friendly and always give us a good idea on our waiting time. She also takes down our number and calls when our table is ready. We can take off to have a stroll at the mall or even Vaughan Mills when the wait is incredibly long.
