DELICIOUS & AUTHENTIC SEAFOOD ITALIAN CUISINE…read more I made reservations a few days in advance and was told that only the heated patio was available. But I knew this place was a gem when they called back the day after to inform me there was a cancellation and was now able to move our reservation indoors. I loved that! FOOD: - Complimentary bread tasted nice with the tomato sauce. - Calamari e Gamberi Fritti ($30) tasted so fresh and delicious! For a fried appetizer it wasn't too heavy between sharing for two. The portion was hearty for two and the size of the calamari and shrimp wasn't small. - Captain's Caesar salad ($15) tasted great as we expected for a Caesar salad and also fresh! It was also a good size for two. - Sea Bass Branzino From the Grill ($39) was a great choice! The garlic-lemon butter sauce was incredibly paired with the freshness of the fish and intensified the whole dish. I chose the side option of risotto blanco which was also a perfect pairing! - King Crab Papardelle ($46) was another great tasty choice! It came with multiple pieces of crab legs which were halved. The sauce and texture of the pasta was amazing! - Tiramisu ($13) was the best tiramisu I've had. I love a tiramisu with a strong espresso taste and this one did not disappoint. SERVICE: Our server was very attentive and friendly, as well as the other staff members that helped us out! AMBIENCE: The restaurant is within the same building as their market/grocer. A family-friendly Italian establishment and very hospitable greetings. The smell of fresh seafood even makes it better. I'd definitely return and try out more of their seafood and pasta dishes! And of course their Tiramisu.

Food was okay. Our whole dining experience was horrible due to the server who had differential…read moretreatment towards us. Not sure, if he didn't like our family or our colour of skin. My husband being a seafood lover was super enthusiastic about this place, as San Antonio also offers a decent selection of vegetarian food. We got the table, things looked fine and until we kept waiting for our server to come. He came and left the menu only to return when we called him and trying to ask him for suggestions. Understand the menu items but he just responded i will come when you are ready. So we just ordered without any inputs. He wouldn't come to us even once to ask hows the food, do we need anything else. We kept calling a server, serving near by tables. That guy was decent, he practically should have got the tip from our table. Our designated server passed us each time and kept serving other tables. There was sampling ( Italian liquor) for each table, he preferred to skip us or even talk about it. We felt humiliated and frustrated as even after spending 150 bucks, you are not treated respectfully or even neutrally as a customer. But again the other server was as good as any good service offering restaurant would have . I dont think should mention food here. I habe addresses far more important issue here

The staff was friendly but a little slow as she was working by herself. The gelato was splendid, great amount of matcha flavour and not too overpowering. Would recommend the gelato!

I really enjoyed the mango pomelo and taro ball drink, but the strawberries were a bit sour. I…read morethink it would have been much better if it were strawberry season and the fruit was sweeter. I also tried the mango oat matcha, which was good for what it is, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable or out of the ordinary. The service was pretty quick which is always good. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'd come back to try some of their other drinks if I'm in the area.

I ended up getting a small bingsu injeolmi flavour, it's dusted with roasted soybean powder and topped with rice cakes and condense milk. It's really tasty and light. I normally eat the bingsu on site as it's much more appealing visually but taking it home is just as good! I even froze some of the leftovers to enjoy the next day and just as good (maybe not the same fluffy texture but still pretty good). Bonus the cup packaging they drew on is super cute.

As the name suggest it is beautifully presented like flower. With peach, grapefruit, fruit puree on a shaved milk ice topped with whipped cream is the best! The ice is so fine in texture and will literally melt in your mouth. The fruit balances the sweetness from the puree and the condense milk, specially the bittersweet grapefruit. Its good to eat it in as it'll melt right away if you have it as to go. Also, we tried their fruit cups (mango) with whipped cream a little sweet to me but its also good. Staff are friendly, not much people when we visited and you'll get your order quickly. Clean space inside. Plenty of parking in the plaza, but weekends get to be busy.

The coffee menu is reasonable ranging between $2.50 for espresso and $4 for cappuccino and regular latte. I popped by on a weekday afternoon and it was still busy with a couple customers ordering coffee and cannoli. The assorted pastries were airy & delicious with plenty of sweet filling. Skip it or hit it? We'll have to try more cannoli flavours next time we're back!

This new location at Major MacKenzie and Dufferin is no exception. During soft opening, they had a buy one get one deal between 4pm-6pm, so this place was packed! But the staff was able to handle the additional traffic and deliver consistent flavor and quality. The interior is really nice. It's very modern, with comfortable couches and greenery. There are plenty of seats and is well set up to be a place to meet with friends. There is free wifi. There is also plenty of parking.
