THE LEAD VERDICT
“finally someone in vancouver who actually knows how to make proper carbonara! silky egg and cheese sauce NO cream pancetta with the right crispy-chewy texture and they didnt wreck it with peas or whatever. nonna would approve”
“so like tehy served bread with butter instead of good olive oil which is just wrong for an italian place it's such a simple thing that sets the tone smh”

“the contrast in their osso buco was magnificent - fork-tender meat that practically melted against the firm bite of perfectly al dente risotto all tied together w that rich gelatinous marrow sauce”
“actually bread arrived at room temp w cold hard butter that wouldn't spread properly!!! like such a simple fix that would elevate teh whole start of the meal 10/10”
“the bar seating gives you front row seats to watch the pasta being made fresh - nothing beats sitting solo adn watching the chefs work their magic w housemade fettuccine. for real their carbonara was textbook perfect lol”
“ok so service slowed down alot once dinner rush hit even at the bar where you'd expect more attention from the bartender ugh”
“veal parmigiana was exactly what i wanted - massive portion of tender meat under melted cheese adn tangy marinara!!! seriously simple italian comfort food done right reminded me why i love this cuisine”
“for reaaal caprese salad was pretty underwhelming tomatoes were clearly out of season adn mozzarella tasted like it came from a grocery store container ugh”
“lowkey tehir grilled branzino was cooked perfectly - flaky moist fish w a beautiful char adn fresh herb oil. portion was generous without being excessive adn paired beautifully w the roasted veggies lol”
“i mean caesar salad was drowning in dressing adn heavy on the anchovies - way too salty and rich as a starter before such a well-made main”
“like linguine alle vongole was outstanding - fresh clams that still had that sweet ocean flavor not rubbery at all tossed with perfectly al dente pasta in white wine sauce that didnt overpower teh shellfish no joke”
“caesar salad came wiht clearly pre-made dressing from a bottle instead of fresh made-to-order like you'd expect at this price point meh”
“love that they stay open late and the vibe shifts from dinner crowd to more nitelife stuff after 9. osso buco was fall-off-the-bone tender and the risotto underneath soaked up all those rich pan juices perfectly”
“music got so loud after 10 pm i could barely have a conversation - i get the nightclub thing but finishing dinner was a challenge chefs kiss”
“the tiramisu was ethereal - perfectly balanced mascarpone layers w just the right coffee intensity and cocoa dust that made each bite sing. clearly made in-house w proper technique”
“wine list was super limited for an italian restaurant especially lacking dessert wines that'd pair beautifully w their stellar pastry program”
