"Service was impeccable - fresh ground pepper and fresh parmesan ready on standby, water refilled without even asking.\n\nI was worried because of the reviews, but after going I feel like the restaurant got a bad rap because of guest's expectations before they even step in to the restaurant. The place doesn't have a cool hipster atmosphere like places downtown. Neither does it offer a world class chef curated menu that you'd take Anthony Bourdain to in his Toronto stopover. It is not a dive either - and the food isn't the 'comfort food' type where it is loaded with grease and whole-flavouredness (*ahem* Dantes *ahem*).\n\nWhat it does provide is a casual, healthy approach to Italian food. \n\nI think the restaurant is best categorized as ''neighbourhood italian fare', similar to what you'd find at your health-conscious Italian sister's place (not grandmas)??\n\nDishes aren't over-seasoned or greased up. It was simple and yummy. I can tell they make their own tomato sauce. It reminded me of simple food in Italy.\n\nI liked it, I'd probably go back again."^^ . "2015-05-15T00:00:00"^^ . . "4"^^ .
