Perfect spot for a date night! It’s moody, dim, and the staff is so attentive.
My favourite dish was the anchovy bruschetta toast. Packed with flavour. I highly recommend added the anchovy for that extra salty kick.
I got the truffle pasta and the octopus for mains. The truffle pasta was really buttery and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I did feel it was a bit one dimensional. While the truffle pieces were a nice crunch, it was essentially just buttered noodles. The octopus was cooked to perfection. The sauce it came in was too salty for me and didn’t pair well with the pasta. I kind of wish the waiter would’ve let us know that those two entrees don’t compliment each other.
Overall, I had a lovely experience.

We had a group of 5 go out for a friends birthday and it is a gorgeous place to go out, I have also come here for an anniversary so the place is very versatile. As well, the staff members were very kind, and very willing to help you choose something you liked
Highway robbery with the "special" menu. $25 for egg noodles in butter and thin noodles with tomato sauce in a can.
We'd enjoy it at 3am after a few cocktails but 9pm on a Friday you'd expect better.
Cocktails were on point, atmosphere is always great. Make sure there isn't a special menu before you go

We visited the restaurant for Summerlicious and were very impressed with the food! Appetizers were amazing, especially the orange salad 🤤 so refreshing with the perfect amount of dressing.
I had braised rabbit and just have to say… any meat exotic tastes like chicken lol
Cannoli was very rich and filling, we had to take one home.
They had some special drinks just for Summerlicious and we tried the cocktail called White Lotus. Highly recommend it if you like drinks that’s not too sweet. Perfect for the summer weather.

Restaurant located on Queen Street but the main entrance is at the side street opposite the gas station. Quite a big place, and divided into 3 sections, a bar, and 2 dining rooms. Ambience quite good and tonight is Saturday and quite busy but not full.
Not a big menu and selections are limited. Appetisers are quite good especially the fried artichoke. Wood burning made pizza was also delicious. The pastas are audentate amd quite delicious. However, main course is less so especially the Florentina Steak. It was onlt warm when served and thus affected the meat's taste. Over priced as well for $200. COckage fee they charge is $55 per bottle.
Overall, recommended.

The flavors were great for every dish. Pizza and appeys were the best. Pasta was a little under cooked and the steak and braised rib was just ok. Would love to come back here in the summer to use the patio.
It's such a lovely place in the heart of Queen West. My partner brought me here for my 50th birthday. We enjoyed the space and appreciated the eclectic decor. The service was wonderful, and our compliments to the chef!!! My sincere apologies for not taking any food pictures. I must have been distracted by the amazing company!! Thank you for the memorable experience ☺️
