Annabelle's Kitchen Downtown

My first time at this location and I loved it. The place is quite inviting, good music, very clean and organized. Not to mention the food - what a delicious experience, from the starter whipped burrata and toast, to the main course, and the drink. Thank you for the great service!

The freshly made pasta here is delicious, I ordered the squid ink linguine and didn’t disappoint, cooked al dente to perfection and I was happy, however, the served it with shrimp or very small prawns (I was expecting prawns as advertised) some of my friends said that their food was a bit cold, I think the server took a bit much to pick up the plates from the kitchen maybe? But I would forgive them since it was a -20C outside. Also, I wish they would bring like a basket of bread and butter to the table while we waited, this is very common in Italian restaurants so the diners don’t have to starve while they wait…I would come back to try other things. Good overall

I've eaten here twice and truly it's been some of the best food I've ever eaten, anywhere. Cannot recommend the whipped ricotta with bread starter and the squid ink spaghetti highly enough! The servers are kind, attentive, knowledgeable. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the bathrooms immaculate.

Have the lasagna which was one of the most uninspired lasagnas I've ever had it was completely Bland we had to add a lot of salt and spices to try and get it some flavor. The best thing on the appetizer menu was the meatballs they were outstanding very tasty some of the best we've ever had. I would not recommend the beet salad they were not crunchy and they had very mild flavor there are much better beets to be found than this. The Bolognese pasta was pretty plain and lacking flavor. The restaurant was comfortable and it was a great place to have a conversation over lunch

I have to give five starts to the restaurant and its wonderful staff. They coped with a table of eight with ease. We had a lovely table where we could see into the kitchen (without the kitchen smells), had keen attention from our delightful server and our tired, yet enthusiastic group was offered everything we needed. Vegetarians and vegans were given options and the rest of us had plenty to choose from. The food was amazing, just what we needed. The atmosphere is very congenial to a lovely evening with good friends. Thank you.

Food and atmosphere were great, service was fantastic! Tried the whipped ricotta and it was sooo good, only negative was one of the pieces of bread was slightly burnt. Meatballs were a great appetizer, heavy if you're also having a big meal. I has the Artic Char on saffron risotto and really enjoyed it. There was no room for dessert!

Charming ambience and a lovely crowd of ladies enjoying lunch! The Italian cuisine here offers a good selection of dishes. I tried their Pasta Scarpetta, and it was al dente perfection - truly delicious! Service was reasonable, especially considering it was a busy weekday lunch. Overall, a great spot to grab a satisfying meal.

We stopped by 7:30PM on a Saturday evening, and the restaurant was busy but not too crowded. We ordered the eggplant tapenade bruschetta and a lime carrot ginger soup to start, and for our main dishes I had the squid ink linguine with prawns while my wife had the red pepper radiatori with spicy Italian sausage. We were too full to try any of the desserts. Service was fast and efficient, and the dishes were flavourful without being overwhelming.
