"Note: this review is for the food only as we ordered take-out.\n\nI really wanted to like this place, as I've heard it's a great restaurant for families with small children. But my first impression of the food wasn't the greatest.\n\nWe ordered the involtini (eggplant rolls stuffed with mozzarella, bread crumbs & basil over tomato sauce - $8) to start, the Penne (spicy sausage, rapini, onion, smoked pork drippings - $17), and the Risotto Verde (parsley pesto, crispy shrimp and scallop - $19).\n\nFirst off, the portions were very small considering the price point. The involtini was three small, somewhat limp pieces and not very flavourful. The penne was definitely spicy, almost too spicy, and I can usually tolerate a lot of spice. It seemed as though they had dumped a lot of red chili flakes into the dish.\n\nThe risotto was the biggest disappointment of all. The parsley pesto was just too bland and the shrimp and scallops were not even remotely \"crispy\". The scallops didn't even have any colour (sear) to them, they were just small and anemic looking.\n\nI may give this place another shot if I feel the need to have an evening out with toddler in tow, but I definitely wouldn't order take-out from here again - the food just wasn't worth the price."^^ .
