My partner and I came here for an early dinner on a Sunday. The service was excellent, but it also helped that it wasn't so busy yet (it seemed quite busy for the one server when we left just after 1700h).We got the Spicy House Sausage pizza and the Mushroom pizza. Both were super tasty (we'd get them again) with a good amount of toppings and an excellent crust. We appreciated that there were also chilli flakes and chilli oil to add at the table as well.We split a tiramisu for dessert. My partner (who is Italian) said that it's the best tiramisu he's had at a restaurant. I liked that it had more cream than cookie, and my partner said the taste was spot on.Overall, super positive experience and we'll definitely be back again.

Went with my wife, waited an hour for a margarita pizza, all tables got their food before us even when we ordered before them, appetizer was barely a portion(grilled calamari), pizza was soggy in center but burnt on outside crust, seafood in pasta was undercooked, pasta was basically raw, manager offered a drink to compensate for time waited but declined, fully charged for everything and still expected tip, won’t be going back

Visited for dinner and tried a variety of pizzas. The entrance off Bay is a bit hidden by scaffolding at the moment, so you might not notice this restaurant is here if you weren't looking for it. I recommend getting a seat near the back - there isn't much of a view out the window due to the scaffolding, and it's cool to see the pizzas being made in the large wood burning oven. Staff were friendly, prices were reasonable, and pizza was tasty - excellent crust and sauce and special mention of how good the spicy sausage pizza was. There were many options with some unique toppings and topping combinations, with substitutions accepted if you're picky! One of the pizzas had fried eggplant which I expected to be crispy but was instead kind of soggy / limp. Would go back to try other pizzas as well as their many pasta options.

If you’re looking for a place to sit back and have a great meal, then this is the place. My fiancée and I are speechless and have nothing but great things to say after our visit.Shoutout to the AMAZING staff over here for making it seem like the world isn’t that bad of a place. While we were enjoying our late night snack, we had some homie from the streets walk into the restaurant having a mental health episode; totally making some people in the joint feel uncomfortable and scared… The phenomenal staff bounced right back and made the guy feel like family. He appreciated it and had a smile on his face. I can tell you WE definitely appreciated it. Respect and love doesn’t go unnoticed. I just about had my heart melt with that kind gesture and support you guys gave this man. Bravo to you guys. We’ll be back.-Matt

Placed an order the day before I needed it for an important meeting. They didn't bother to make it.

I decided to order the lamb ragu on Uber Eats as I was enticed by their $10 discount, but my experience left me completely disappointed. Instead of the advertised “house made bucatini” and “shaved pecorino”, I received overcooked linguini topped with melted slices of mozzarella. Also, the dish consisted of only three tiny pieces of lamb, one of which was just a lump of fat. While it might be satisfactory for those who enjoy pasta in tomato sauce, for anyone seeking a substantial lamb dish, it falls far short of expectations.

This place is one of the most disappointing Italian restautrants I have tried in Toronto. I ordered the spicy mussels and their famous eggplant pizza. The taste is a 3/5, with the pizza being a bit too greasy and the mussels being too salty. However, the problem with this establishment is that they are dishonest about the ingredients. My eggplant pizza was missing two crucial ingredients: prosciutto and ricotta cheese; and my mussels was supposed to come with crostinis(bread). Additionally, their mussels were EXTREMELY small, about the size of my pinky nails. If you want to try a better Italian(and more honest) restautrant, I would recommend cafe oro di napoli, which is 10 minutes away from this place and the food is much, much, better.

Firstly, it's disgusting to propose me, as Ukrainian, to order drink named "mango _moscow_ mule" on 24th of february (2 years from the start russian invasion).Secondly, why this drink in general is in menu?Thirdly, why some dishes that are in menu are absent in fact?
