Once again, the specials did not disappoint at all! They were delicious. The mushroom salad was flavorful and the grilled cabbage was a pleasant surprise— the fried garlic and tuna mayonnaise elevated the dish. The menu alone offers a selection of great dishes, but you should try the special that Chef Liam and his staff create.

This was our third time eating here. It's a great place to go before or after a play as it is a short walk to all of the theatres in Aurora. Food is great and prices are what you would expect at a nice Italian restaurant.
