Surprisingly very good atmosphere, and very bad food. Burrata was good, but other dishes that we got were really bad.

$18 for a bland Caesar salad with barely any dressing. Tasted like eating plain lettuce. When we asked for more dressing they charged us $2 extra. Pretty disappointing.

I had never felt so robbed of my money.My friends and I went and shared burrata and calamari. The burrata was amazing with lots of flavors and the calamari was average.Then came my main dish, mushroom risotto. I usually dont like to complain about my food (unless I find hair or other foreign objects in my food). But i took two bites and couldnt eat anymore because it was waaaay too salty. It was like shoving spoonfuls of salt in my mouth. It was also the same with my two other friends who had ordered the shrimp linguine. The manager saw our faces and came over and we told him that we couldnt eat our dish. He apologized and told us he would bring new ones out right away.I was really upset when i got my new dish. I wish i had taken a photo because the appearance of it had slightly changed. Also, from the original “mixed” mushroom risotto, what i received was a “one-kind” mushroom risotto… just regular mushrooms, i dug around and coudlnt find any other mushrooms in the dish as i did with my previous one. For $30 dish! I paid for bit of pasta, regular mushrooms and olive oil? I was quite upset, but not to ruin our dinner or complain further, i just ate it. I wanted to tip few (like 15%) but their min tip was also capped at 18%. I only tipped 18% because our server had been so sweet.I have gone to many italian restaurants and there are far more restaurants with equally nice service and atmosphere but far tastier plates.Will not visit here again.

the food was good, it was fully booked so we got seated at the bar, we had no problem with it, but right after we order the waitress and the hostess started laughing about how they did not understand what we said (because of our pronunciation), in front of us, not even 2 meters apart, for someone who’s english clearly isn’t their first language had a lot of audacity to laugh at us, it was so disrespectful

Love the cozy ambiance of the place. Feels warm and inviting. Service was good, but slow at times. Waited a long time to get our bill after we were finished and everything had been cleared. Appts were great, chicken parm was very crispy and delicious. Didn't love the linguine, but don't expect to love everything everywhere we go. Will go back to try some other dishes.

Had a terrific experience with trying this restaurant out. The chef Jason nailed the sirloin to top off the well balanced taste for the dish. Would come here again.Dietary restrictions: Only thing that has nuts on their menu is one dish with almonds.

The food and service was amazing. We went for lunch and had the buratta, risotto, paperdelle, tiramisu and orange cake. Every course was flavor packed and delicious, desserts especially!
Absolutely fantastic across the board. Every dish was tasty and quickly served. Alina was our server and she was on top of everything. Great service and a great experience all round.

Menu had changed but still very pleased with quality. Burata salad and green linguini were fantastic. Service was awkward and stiff, kept interrupting conversation, and we felt rushed out.

Food was quite good. Pizza a bit disappointing but loved the burrata appetizer and spaghetti carbonara. Service staff professional, friendly and attentive. Nice ambience. Will return.
Sadly, we were disappointed. The noise level made it impossible to hear each other at our table of two which was unfortunately situated in a high traffic area. The calamari was tasty but not uniformly cooked leaving some soggy rather than crispy. Our Caesar salad was mainly comprised of romaine lettuce pieces that had turned brown and yellow. The pasta with shrimp was tasty but the portion was disappointing as was the lack of shrimp and the presentation seemed hastily composed. The server did her best but the food quality and pacing was subpar. Likely, will not return.

Bland. The pizza was mid, doesn’t taste like anything. Carbonara tasted like buttered noodles. Not worth the price??

If you want to experience a piece of Italy in Calgary, this is the place for you. The atmosphere, food, service are all at a very good level. We traveled a lot in Italy, and we miss it here. However, this restaurant gave us the feeling that we were somewhere in cozy Rimini. A big plus of the staff.

Visited for Valentines. It’s got a very nice vibe with the music and lighting. Not too loud and not dull or quiet. The server was very attentive even though she was the only one working. The food came quick and was hot/fresh. The Margharita is worth trying! A very nice
