Hands down, best pasta in town! No word needed, it is totally random luck how long the line up will be but honestly worth the wait. Summer time wait time would be much longer while winter time, the line up is shorter. Thursday line up also seem shorter than Friday in my experience. Parking is tricky and parking patrol is often seen to give our ticket is you park illegally on the street.

Definitely the most authentic Italian food you can get around Toronto! I came around 45 minutes before opening and got a table on the first round. There are 1 table for 4 and 3 tables for 2, so depending on where you'll be seated and your party size you might have to share a table if you chose to eat in.

Food was amazing, I recommend getting the tiramisu (it is to die for). Alas, it is my last week in Toronto, so I'll be looking forward to visit again sometime in the future. Peace out. ✌️

Best pasta in the city!!

Came here around 11:30am on a Friday and was seated and eating by 12:10pm. Staff is friendly and highly efficient.

We ordered the tagliatelle with ragu, and their lightly dressed broccoli. Both extremely delightful and worth the trip.

The pasta was very good, we got Tagliatelle Ragu and Ravioli in Bianco. The tiramisu was also very yummy. However, I would NEVER again wait the 2 hours that we waited for it. We waited from 11:30 to getting our take out at 1:35. We also paid $57 for 2 pastas, tiramisu & 2 drinks, which in my opinion is pretty pricey. Final thoughts, definitely good but not good enough for the extremely long wait!
