Reviews
"The pesto pasta was made table-side, which smelled wonderful and the texture of pasta was perfect. However, most dishes were very salty. There were not enough waiting staff. I also noticed that the spoon used by chef for tasting check was not replaced, but left in a tub mixed with other utensils for plating."
"Terrible food, and taste not fresh. All the seafood had strong fishy tasting. The worest part is the truffle pasta which I was expected so much! However, it’s freaking salty and I left most of them on the plate.when I told the waitress too salty she just took the plate away and said “ok”. I wasn’t trust the review before, blame on me."
"Overall pleasant dinner. Great service, food was pretty good - not the best Italian in the city though. Decent portion but a little on the pricey side, expected for where it is. Love the food prep at the table. Pesto trofie pasta and scallop and scampi gratin were good but nothing to rave about."
"Mediocre food! $145 per person, group of 20. You’d be better off going for the epicurean buffet I reckon. The set menu of basic salad, very minimal portion of basil pasta and veal for main with some wedges and poorly served tiramisu for dessert was disappointing. The veal was shared between 4 people. In fact everything was shared. I thought having a set menu was getting a plate of each dish served accordingly and not shared !! Very stingy!! Is it the result of inflation or just plain greed!"
"Amazing food (I can’t stop thinking about the mortadella tortellini) and incredible service! The waitress was really patient explaining the menu and answering any questions we had about the food and drinks. They were also very attentive in taking used napkins and dirty dishes off the table quickly and without disturbing our dinner. Would definitely come back here!"
