   I didn't like the fact that we were seated in a terrible location right next to the kitchen, it was very very noisy. When i asked if we could get seated another table they advised that they didn't have anything else. Then the hostess advised us that we had to leave by 8:30pm as they had another reservation set for our table at 8:30pm. Our reservation was at 6:45pm so they were only going to give us 1hr & 45 mins to sit down and have dinner. When i told her if they aren't able to accommodate us until at least 9pm i advised her that we won't be staying and will go to another restaurant on that block that will. Then miraculously it was ok for us to stay until 10pm if we wanted. i've been to the restaurant before and it was quite enjoyable but last night was a bust. Plus paying $12 for 4 slices of bread that was hard was not a good.

   We really enjoyed the spicy vodka pasta and espresso martini. Great service, would return for that pasta!

   Good flavours, excellent service. Price reasonable though portions a bit on the smaller side. Good for social meet ups, sort of a fusion Italian experience.

    We started off with a great waitress, but midway through the evening, someone else took over—and that’s when the experience went downhill. The new server was rude and made us feel rushed. We were celebrating a birthday, and yet none of the staff acknowledged it or seemed to have read the notes we included in the reservation. The server, who was wearing a matching white set and had long hair, came over and asked if we were ready to go. We told her we were done with our current plates, expecting her to at least offer us the dessert menu—but instead, we had to prompt her ourselves. While we were still eating our dessert, she brought the bill and payment machine to the table without saying a word, and even took our dessert plates away without asking if we were finished. Not once did she check in to see how we were doing. The service was truly terrible. It was only 9:10 PM when this happened, and our reservation was for 8:15 PM—so it’s not like we overstayed. We felt extremely rushed and left feeling unhappy.
