Spectacular restaurant and my new go to Italian restaurant. The pizza and pasta were both amazing. Cycling fans will appreciate the historic bikes hanging from the ceiling… truly beautiful bicycles!
I've yet to try this place in the evening, but in the daytime, you order from the counter. The pizza is tasty and there is a good selection of interesting drinks.
Ordered a Negroni. It came with an enormous ice cube that took up 95% of the glass. Less than 2 ounces of gin, vermouth, and Campari. I would have been embarrassed if I served this to someone. Over priced burnt pizza. Give this restaurant a pass.
Had an excellent pizza there, but then the bill arrived. Almost $200 for two, with the minimum tip choice offered. $18 for 2 bottles of water ($9 each), $22 for a glass of Merlot, served room temperature (suggest owners invest in wine cooler). Check the prices before ordering. (Edited to respond to owners comments)
Very poor service. After 1 hr and 20 minutes we did not have the main course. We had to leave without any mains served. I was told that it was my fault because I didn't tell him we only had about 2 hours for dinner!
Truly overpriced. The bread came with extra charge ($6) that we didn’t know, and was very underwhelming, we left most of it untouched. Pasta was a bit undercooked. Staff was very nice though.
Edit of original review: Changing from 2 stars to 1 after the rude response from the owner. See for yourself below and choose to go to another restaurant nearby with better service. No, I am not going to send the food back unless it’s completely inedible. Some of us did not grow up wasting food. Perhaps instead of obnoxiously responding to a customer who clearly was not satisfied with the quality - accept your mistake and just do better. —- Original review: Relied on reviews to try this restaurant out. Unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations since both of the pasta dishes my friend and I ordered were very unevenly cooked. Most of it was undercooked with occasional al dente pieces. The sauce was very concentrated on the bottom of the plate and rather dry on top. For some reason, the staff waited to serve the main course for a very long time (almost 50 minutes), so I suspect the main course was just sitting there. We had 2 appetizers - the calamari, which weren’t very flavourful - mostly heavily peppered, and the bread, which was fine. Very hard to consider going back since there are so many other options where don’t screw up your $40 pasta dishes…
