Just visited here for my fiance's birthday. Amazing service, our server Dan made our experience here one to remember very knowledgeable and prompt and made great suggestions for our dinner. The food was great perfect portion size and even brought out a complimentary dessert for my fiance on her birthday. Would recommend to any one looking for that exceptional dinning experience when visiting Victoria.
My husband and I went here last night for his birthday dinner, and from beginning to end, everything was amazing! The food was delicious and beautifully presented - we had the beef carpaccio, cannelloni, lamb shank, and creme brulee. Great cocktails as well! This was probably one of our top 10 meals of all time! The restaurant has such a warm and romantic atmosphere, perfect for celebrating a special occasion. Our server was so attentive and kind, and provided great wine recommendations. Can't wait to come back and experience the patio when the weather gets warmer!
Went to this amazing nook in Victoria downtown during my short trip to the Islands. Was lucky to get a seating on the bar counter as we didn’t make a reservation but the food was so great. Loved the cocktails, especially the season special. Highly highly recommended this place if you’re in town. Don’t forget to make a reservation.
They serve Dinner only.
We did not have a reservation but were grateful that there was room at the bar at 8:45 pm. The service was exceptional. Our server was never intrusive and was always there when needed. He gave great recommendations. We had the Lasagna and the Gorgonzola and Walnut Gnocchi. We also tried the Strawberry Gazpacho special and the caesar salad. All were excellent. parking on the street only. We circled a couple of times before finding a place. Probably a place to leave the kids at home.
Beautiful restaurant. Excellent food. Highly recommend sitting in the garden and ordering the chef’s choice which consists of four courses served family-style. At $65 per person you get a ton of food. The presentation is stunning! For dessert you get a whole assortment of goodies. 100% get the mushroom risotto, it was the highlight of our evening.

This is one of the top restaurants in the city. By the best italian place within the City of Victoria.
Food:
Portion sizes are large and fair for the pricing. Food is made fresh in-house, and the seafood doesn't taste fishy at all. Even the shellfish wasn't bad, and I am not a shellfish person generally.
Atmosphere and table:
It is a very small restaurant but It's an open concept which makes it feel very spacious. There are no booths within. There are only tables and chairs. During the summertime, they have a very nice patio.
Service:
Service is excellent as you would expect in fine dining. The only con on this aspect is the popularity of the restaurant on the same day? Reservations are hard to come by. Be prepared to be planning out at least a week in advance.
On the day of your reservation, you might end up waiting for a table to leven though you made a reservation. The staff gives you 3 hours for your table/reservation before they ask you to leave. So if the table prior to you is running late, you will have to wait for them.
As the stars and the reviews show, this restaurant does not disappoint. You may even feel like you just stepped into a hidden corner trattoria in quaint town in Italy. All the dishes look amazing! My beginning antipasti to my seafood connoli was absolutely fantastic as with my ending pleasure of a creme brulee. Delicious Perfection.
Classic Italian: fresh, locally sourced ingredients,homemade everything: the pasta, the focaccia bread, the tapenade. I had the legendary puttanesca and it was delicious. The servings are generous, the servers attentive. Such a pleasant room to enjoy a lovely meal. You need a reservation…it is popular for all the right reasons.
Food on another level! My wife and I are G-F but there were plenty of options. We split a salad, an entree and dessert and it was a great plenty. The Barbbara wine was perfect. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and professional. The chocolate mousse was the best I have ever tasted!
Expensive but an amazing dining experience! The food was incredibly good and brilliantly presented. The waiter was just the right amount of attentive and did not disappoint when he was asked for recommendations. It was difficult to get in but that is simply reflective of the high demand. A definitive "special occasion" restaurant!
We came here for our birthday dinner after hearing several recommendations from locals. We made reservations the night before, but I would do it several days out of possible. Everything was so yummy! We shared a salad and main dish. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great experience here last night. While Spaghetti and meatballs isn't on the menu, they obliged and I am so thankful. Absolutely delicious! Loved that the sauce was meaty as well. My wife had the basil pesto gnocchi, and this was also fantastic, although I would struggle to eat it all because it packed such a punch of flavour. The house wine is great, much better than the usual house wine you get elsewhere. The antipasto platter is an amazing presentation, as well. Excellent service.
