We weren’t too hungry so we shared the margherita pizza and it was outstanding. The tomato sauce was so yummy I could eat it all by itself. The portion was very good for the price and you get quite a bit of food. Our server that we had, Emma L., Was nothing but friendly to us! She had such a positive vibe and made our lunch memorable and enjoyable. She was very attentive towards us and helped with some of our dietary preferences when choosing what to order. I am visiting from out of town and I will make sure I come back here next time I’m in the downtown Toronto area! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The outside had a nice crisp and saltiness to it and the inside was fluffy. The Mafalde ai Funghi was phenomenal. Amazingly rich, earthy, and savory. The pasta had the perfect texture. We just wish there was more of it! The Cavatelli alla Vodka was velvety and flavorful, but not overpowering or heavy. The pasta was al dente. The pasta dishes were great, but we'd appreciate it even more if they came out a little hotter! We found them warm while other customers appeared to have steam coming from theirs. The Margherita pizza was okay. Nothing about it stood out or screamed extraordinary. However, the Funghi pizza was amazing. The variety of mushrooms worked together well with the cheeses, and the sweetness of the caramelized onions help balance it all out. Riley served us and he was great!

However, I found the tiramisu cream to be a bit heavy; I believe I could make a better version myself!

Truffle funghi is what you want if you're a vegetarian. If your pasta is not hot enough, switch it. Wait lines are long so go early or go home. read more Truffle funghi is what you want if you're a vegetarian. If your pasta is not hot enough, switch it. Wait lines are long so go early or go home.

The mafalde ai funghi (truffle pasta) is the highlight of the menu, but I always make sure to order the cavoletti di Bruxelles (Brussels sprouts) as a side—it's a must for me.
