The food was decent. The atmosphere is cold and could use some love… a picture on the wall or some candles? The waiter seated us in the back corner at the worst possible table even though the restaurant was not busy and we had made reservations days in advance. Also extremely disappointing that they have no gluten free pasta dishes or pizza. Probably wouldn’t bother going back for that reason as there are very few options for me.

Great restaurant, friendly staff, and best handmade pasta in Waterloo Region. Atmosphere at new location at the corner of Charles/Gaukel is bright and clean. This is the place to go while in Kitchener!

We had high expectations based on the reviews we had read. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Camembert was ok (sauce a bit sweet and thicker than desired) but the "home made" bread not appealing. The pizza prosciutto with beer infused pizza dough looked and tasted like it was a frozen pizza, over baked to be dark and dry, with 5 small squares of prosciutto on top. My ravioli were just ok. The server never once came over to ask us how the appetizers were nor how the mains tasted. We can't understand why it was so full.

Great food and amazing service, the owner is a real treat to chat with. Don't know who is putting two dollar signs on this though, this is an upscale place, they make everything from scratch and that is reflected in the prices. Pasta dishes come with a ton of meat, and the two pizza's I tried were a little plain but still great.

This place quickly became one of my favourites years ago and is a place where I take my good friends and loved ones to catch up and/or celebrate. The food is delicious, the service is incredible, and the atmosphere is kept at a volume that enhances the ambiance and still allows for enjoyable conversation.If you’ve never been, Go!If you’ve been, Go Back!

It was me and my boyfriend’s first time here and I am so so happy with how they welcomed us! The service was 20/10 and the food was amazing also! We will 100% be back ?? my favourite was their flat bread! I know for a fact I will be thinking of this food until we go back!

Great little italian place. Very friendly chef was willing to alter the dish to meet my preferences. I had fresh spaghetti with a spicy tomato sauce with sausage and peppers. Very fresh and delicious.

Amazing service and delightful food! I have Wheat, Oat, Barley, malt, and rye allergies and they took it very seriously. Checked on all ingredients and were mindful about cross contamination. Our waiter, Nikola, was attentive without being intrusive and really made me feel comfortable with my food choices. He was even made thoughtful suggestions- any on the pasta dishes can be served over rice instead of the pasta. I’m so happy to have come here and will again when I’m back in the area.Dietary restrictions: Allergies

I took my wife here for an anniversary dinner date. Outstanding food!. The owner and son made us feel welcome and special. I had the fresh pasta and scallops. I still think about this meal almost a year later. I can't wait to dine here again.Highly recommended *****
