My friends and I did a double date here and had a great time. More expensive than I expected, but the food and service were wonderful.
I ordered the clam chowder and pickerel and unfortunately got food poisoning and was quite sick later that night. I called the restaurant the following day to let them know and they took my information. Never heard back.

Great dinner spot. Menu items are delicious and well presented, generous portions. Servers are attentive and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant for small intimate dinners, as well as medium groups of Family/Friends.
Make a reservation as this place can definitely get busy during the prime lunch and dinner times.

We got the pickerel cheeks were a feature we got which was very good.Fett chille and the curry cream pasta.Both delicious. Our server was awesome!
Been here few times. Great staff. Great drinks. Good food. Service is always good. Food is good. Nothing to blow you away but worth the visit. Birthday cake dessert is a must.
Excellent food and wonderful service. Great place for a special evening out!
Amazing food, amazing staff, and busy location!
Came in without reservations for dinner with my companion, and it was so busy that we could only get bar seats.
We ordered the cash Fantasy course special. It was a fantasy alright. 4 courses of excellent food starting with a tasty pork springroll (a Chinese dish nomally but whatever) that came with this really tasty sweet hot sauce. Not like a Thai sweet chilli sauce but more like a sweetened Frank's hot sauce. They were a great pairing.
Next was a Ceasar salad. It was tossed really well with a generous amount of dressing, so everything was coated. Croutons were ground like breadcrumbs, so it was easier to mix in with the leaves for even crunch with each bite. The dressing was really good too so it could have been house-made.
The included pasta was the Fett Chile. A fettuccini in a roasted red pepper cream sauce. Toppings included chorizo, chicken, and a small amount of red pepper not yet blended into the sauce. I expected this to be fairly savoury umami-like, but it turned out to be a mild sweet flavour. It's not too sweet as my companion loves this dish, too, and she doesn't like too many sweet dishes. I could not stop raving about this dish each time the server came by.
My companions Vong (linguine vongole) was good, too, in a pesto sauce. I liked my dish more.
Both dishes provide ample amounts of pasta and toppings for their price.
The final dish to the menu was a Creme Brule. It was also ample and mildly sweet like the pasta. Having it with a bit of the mint was the best part.
The staff were all friendly and attentive. My water was filled and relied throughout service without asking. They asked many times how each course was and if we needed anything.
There is plenty of free street parking around.
I will definitely come again and recommend this place as THE pasta place to go in Winnipeg to anyone asking.

Service was excellent, personable and efficient. We had calamari and salad, but it looked so good we ate it before taking a picture. Fantastic presentation and taste was incredible for everything. Ordered Fett Chile and Pappardelle. If the picture looks good, it’s because it is. Had crème brûlée and espresso for dessert and it could not have been better.
