    The fish entree was truly remarkable. The drinks and dessert were also impressive. What didn't belong in this mix were the zucchini fritters, which were tiny rubbery discs with bland sauces. Otherwise perhaps our best meal during our stay in Toronto.

    Proposed to my fiancé hours before sitting down to dinner. They took really good care of us and one of the best settings to have a more intimate night out. Definitely will be going back!

    Just a LOVELY dining experience. From the elegance of the decor, to the exceptional and friendly wait staff, nothing was left or wanting. The food was really really good. I love that this chef had such knowledge of Italian cuisine and the pairing of food on each plate was perfection. My burrata and beet salad was divine. I had the sweet potato gnocchi - with an incredible pesto sauce. Don't hesitate about this restaurant - make a reservation today!
