This was the best Italian meal I have had at a restaurant, and I have gone to many Italian restaurants throughout Canada. From appetizers through to desert, everything was absolutely delishes. Thank you for an amazing meal.

Wow what a great night - I’ve rated all three categories 5 stars because they truly deserve it! The food, service and atmosphere was exceptional and everything we were hoping for. I had an espresso martini that did not disappoint and the food was just incredible! We had the Caesar salad and calamari to start. My partner and I really enjoyed the salad- we kept saying “this is the best Caesar I’ve ever had!” The calamari was crunchy on the outside, perfect texture on the inside. For our mains my partner got the il trio and I had the Pollo Amaretto and wow- this dish is a total showstopper. The chicken breast was perfectly tender, coated in a crunchy almond crust that added just the right amount of texture. The rich amaretto mushroom sauce brought this beautiful sweet-savory balance that tied everything together. And the fettuccine Alfredo on the side- so creamy and comforting, it made the whole plate feel indulgent and balanced. Honestly, it’s the kind of dish you think about long after the last bite. I couldn’t finish the plate but I really wanted to ! But HAD to save room for dessert. We had the tiramisu to end the night and it was perfection. Just wow- we will absolutely be returning guests for years to come. I’m already excited to bring my friends and family.

Great Italian restaurant. The food was fresh and tasty. The server was a little dry overall. It has a nice cozy feel to it, and I would definitely recommend this location. Fresh cut zucchini and calamari. One thing they should do is serve the beer with a frosty glass rather than a glass that just came out of the dishwasher , just make sure to let them know you don't want a warm glass with your cold beer.

This restaurant never disappoints! The mrg always has our table reserved as we asked for. The server DEBRA is fast, courteous, engaging and caring. The food is always fresh, hot and very tasty. Love this restaurant.

My husband and I visited from out of town after seeing this business advertised through an Instagram reel. I loved the look of the restaurant and the menu, so I reached out to make a reservation. They were initially completely booked, but had a last minute cancellation so we made the trip. It was NYE, so there was a special preset menu that we were able to view ahead of time. Upon arrival, we were greeted and sat right away (and we arrived 15 mins early). Our server Tom was very personable, funny and very attentive over the course of the entire evening. We didn’t wait long, and from start to finish we finished 4 courses in an hour and a half. The food was well presented and delicious, and the portions we felt were great and reasonable for the price we paid. For me, the star of the evening was the Limoncello dessert - it was so refreshing and finished off a great meal! I would recommend them to people if they are in the Kanata/Ottawa area.

Food is top-notch that's why you're here! Delicious rich Italian dinner. The pasta and dinner here is amazing. Clearly have a professional dedicated kitchen behind the scenes. The service is good but sometimes hard to track down a server. The bread/dinner rolls arrive the same time as the apps. Would be better if they arrived when seated. Did not have time to explore the first floor. The second floor has ahomely feel here. Similar to that of the Keg Manor but feels I'm eating at a house that's not quite dressed up properly on the inside. The interior decoration and white walls should be updated. They are left empty and missing beauty to look at.

Oh my goodness -what an incredible first visit! We came here to celebrate my birthday, and Antonio truly made the evening unforgettable. He was so friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to support us with the vegetarian options. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine selection was just perfect. Thank you so much for making my birthday so special—we can’t wait to come back!

Great food, great service (our server was on point with everything) really nice atmosphere! Great spot for a date night out. The mushroom bruschetta and the Gelato lemon merengue is to die for. Both a must try! Deffinetly will be back!
