Perfect spot to get together with a group of friends.
Service was really attentive and food was good.
Didn't get a chance to soak in the ambience as I was immersed in the company that I was with. But from the outside, it looked very inviting and warm. Surrounded by trees and greens, walking to the front door felt like I was walking into an enchanted forest with delicious Italian aromas.
Seated by the window at a large round table to fit a group of 8+1. Perfect!
The menu offered a wide range of appetizers, salads, pizzas and pasta.
Crispy calamari ordered to share. Portions are huge!
Ended up ordering 2 of the bruschetta. Plenty for everyone to have a piece. A toast with all the fixings on top. Tomato, garlic, burrata, basil, balsamic vinaigrette - each bite tasted fresh, sweet, tangy and creamy. A fantastic appetizer.
Some ordered lasagna, some Rigatoni, few got the pizza. Can't vouch for the taste, but it sure looked appetizing to the eyes.
I got the PEI mussels with a side of fries. Every time I get mussels, the first thing I try is the broth. Such a hearty, tomato brother with a hint of spice for me going goo-goo-ga-ga for it. Mussels were on the more petite side, but don't let those tiny little mussels fool you. It came with a punch of flavor.
The side of fries were slightly a disappointment. Parmesan cheese shavings sprinkled on top. Not sure what brand they used, but it had a very strong smell that threw me off. But the parts that didn't have cheese, were crunchy to have with my bowl of mussels.
Lolla Rossa salad was also my favorite! Perfectly dressed, the mixed greens were fresh, the strawberries were sweet and the almonds added a beautiful texture to every bite. Definitely a must-order salad!
Sadly, we didn't have time to try any of their desserts. That's ok because I'll just have to come back. Would love to try some of the other items on their menu.
