Everyone else loved what they got. I recently had brunch and it was amazing. The French toast was crispy and but soft inside and the peaches and cream cocktail was my favorite drink possibly ever. My husband had the prosciutto and fig pizza that he describes as amazing and the peach mule. Service was good and the food came out really fast. I like that you can see the kitchen and fridges - you can tell they run a tight and clean ship.

We got the tomato, mushroom and brie bruschetta. Mushroom one had goat cheese which I dislike but other table mates said was delicious. Tomato one was good. Brie was my favorite. Not easy to share with the table which made it very awkward and not everyone got to try some. You can cut them into about 3 pieces which still left 1 of us not being able to try it. I got the Spaghetti Carbonara: 9/10. Very good, pasta was cooked well, there was enough sauce. Good flavor. Boyfriend got the special which was cheese stuffed ravioli in rose sauce - 10/10. Loved that it comes with extra protein (chicken). Friend got Veal Scaloppine: very garlic-y. Friends said she would not get again. But very generous portion of vegetables - broccolini, peppers, carrots. And the half of a baked potato came with cheese baked on top which looked amazing. Friend got the lasagna and loved it, reports it is not spicy and has a lot of meat (ground) in it. They brought over a free chocolate mousse dessert with a sparkler as well. Overall very nice pasta place.

I called and was quoted 22min which I thought was quite long but it took me that long to get there anyway. There was lots of 2 hour street parking available. Very nice decor inside - fancy, classy, romantic would be how I would describe the decor. The restaurant was completely empty at 5PM although they did just open at 4:30PM. My order was ready when I arrived (20min later). I got the Arancini appetizer, Gnocchi entree, and Tartufo (choc + raspberry ice cream) dessert all for ~$40. The food survived the 11 minute drive home (even the ice cream). The Arancini was delicious - like a deep-fried risotto ball should be. I liked that it came with a touch of tomato sauce which gave it a nice acidic kick. The gnocchi were larger than I expected and therefore hard to eat in 1 bite so I had to try to cut each one before eating. Not the best I have ever had. I got it with the rose sauce which was nice but nothing special. Creamy but not a lot of flavour. The tartufo was promising - like a black forest cake but ice cream style. Too bad it had such a miniscule amount of raspberry. 95% chocolate ice cream; which was good chocolate ice cream for sure but not enough acidic to balance out all the sweet for me. Place and menu look great and promising but unfortunately, I was underwhelmed for the price and can't see myself back anytime soon.

Having never had it before, my boyfriend and I ordered pizza from Pisa Pizza because of the great reviews on yelp. We ordered two kinds: Greek and Meat Lovers. The Greek pizza was not good....at all. The crust was very thick but more like bread (stale bread) than a good pizza crust. The meat lovers was only slightly better but not that good either; almost tasteless. The pizzas arrived almost cold and had to be heated up in the microwave. I would have to say that this is one of the worst pizzas either of us have ever had....and we eat pizza often from various pizza joints. I don't know if they were having an off night.....the delivery guy said they were really busy. But I honestly can say I will never order pizza from here again. Sorry.

Scottadito= Roman style lamb chops with salsa verde.

Service was excellent as usual It is warm and comfortable, and the warm tones with the wood make it an intimate and lovely place to linger with friends (although they do have a time limit because they are so busy so be mindful). Great wine list as well. Prices are on the higher end, so realize that when you go.

I went to this location with my friends, this year, for a vacation that I rarely get to take. I was…read morecovering for a friend, and the older male server charged me $80 more than he was supposed to. With the tip, I was overcharged a total of over $200. I realized afterwards, when my friends pointed it out. We tried to get our servers attention. As we were trying to confirm that we got overcharged by asking for an itemized receipt, he proceeded to give us an attitude for a mistake that he had made. We told him about the overcharge, and he proceeded to tell me that he will just cancel the order and it will go back into my card. He KNEW that I was using tap as payment. It took a month to get my money back. He then charged me the correct price again, with the assumption that the $200+ will be sent back to my account. During this time, I was short of $200+ because of this restaurant. The process of getting the money back was difficult. I called this location's manager, a woman, who thought it was necessary to give me a dismissive and rude attitude. I told her that I lost $200+ because of their server, in which she immediately told me that they, "Checked and the refund was issued back to me." Without asking any questions that would have helped confirm this claim that they refunded me or refund me properly. Then, I asked her, AFTER she told me that, to "Check any payments with the last 4 digits of my debit card." In which she said, "Yes I can check that." She gave me all that attitude and dismissiveness, told me that they definitively issued a refund, just to confirm to me that she never checked the system to find the last 4 digits. She then came back and informed me that she couldn't access the system from her end, she had to wait for the manager, above her, to visit that location. Again, how can she definitively tell me that they issued me a refund without checking if my debit card, or any number with tap, was in the system that she had no access to? Before this phone call, when I called this restaurant multiple times, I NEVER told them my last 4 digits, nor did they ask. So I don't know how she came to that conclusion that they've checked, other than being fueled by her entitled and dismissive attitude, which was about to cost me $200+. The general manager then emailed me, more than a week after I gave my email to them, to issue me a refund by transferring the money, confirming that because of the tap (which the server clearly saw that I paid with), cancelling the payment won't give me the refund. P.S. Time, nor a refund, is not an NDA to talk about my experience with this location and this staff's dismissiveness and attitude they gave me for OVERCHARGING ME. The server and the manager, or employee, that I called and talked to treated my $200+ as $5 and I was being hysterical for asking for MY money back. The refund is the bare minimum for the respect I should've received. I was in much mental distress because of their negligence and rude attitude on the matter, treating my money as if it's $5, as I'm not able to afford much vacations and not wealthy AT ALL.

Place has "very fancy" feel and would be good for special events/celebration dinners. Free bread to start was fine but not the best I have had. I prefer mine with butter but the oil/vinegar is probably more typical. We tried the: Calamari: 10/10, great texture, loved that we got 2 sauces to dip in. Fettuccine Tavolino (cheese wheel pasta): 10/10. Boyfriend was not too full after. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Nice cheesy creamy flavor. Ravioli Alla Zucca: 9/10, I can't remember if there were 6 or 7 ravioli in the dish. Very pleasing presentation. In my opinion too many sundried tomatoes. I love that it comes with sundried tomatoes as that added some great tang/flavor. Ravioli themselves were perfectly cooked. Brown butter sauce was excellent and wanted more. Creme Brule: 9/10, exactly as expected, definitely enough to share between 2 people. Affogato: vanilla gelato was 11/10 good to me but boyfriend didn't like the flavor. We both agree the espresso was excellent. Very small portion (too small to share!). Free cookies at the end were fine. Overall food was excellent and I'll be back but to try something different on the menu.

The complimentary bread was great, the martini's good although one glass had far more than the other. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese, and although quite different from what we make at home, was excellent! K had the Alfredo flambé which was fired up tableside. It seems to be a popular option as it happened 6 or 7 times while we dined. They also don't soak you for the privilege of the tableside presentation. It was a little cheesy for K, but excellent nonetheless. Our server Eugenia from Hamburg was excellent, she can serve us anytime. She was attentive, and her timing was exceptional! We plan on making a reservation the next time we are in Edmonton. Top notch experience!
