Very yummy pasta! Service was not as friendly as I'm used to so I took one star off for that but the food itself was spectacular. read more

What a wonderful neighborhood gem! Came here because it's one of only four spots in toronto properly certified by Naples. Certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) in Naples. About 1,000 pizzerias worldwide have earned this. Besides that the establishment must have a stone, wood-fired dome oven. The pizza dough needs to be made from Neapolitan yeast, along with salt, water, and type "00" wheat flour. So for me, I just came from a trip in Italy and had the best pizza margherita pizza of my life in Naples so I was craving this. Fantastic version. It was thin and wet as I remember. Very light, simple and flavourful! So if you're like me not looking for that genuine experience- try this! It took 90 seconds to make! Which is what I expected! I have no complaints on the pizza it was delicious! Also had the tiramisu! I've never had it with blueberries before. It was good but I would prefer it without those berries. I would definitely go here again read more

Went to Pizza e Pazzi on a Friday night for dinner. This was our third time here. The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic, and each time have been consistently great. My husband had a pizza (wood-fired ), and I opted for pasta. Both were excellent. read more

Category: Gourmet pizza/Italian fare. Pizza e Pazzi is a nice little spot for thin-crust stone oven pizza. Here is my overall rating: Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 2/5 I ordered the Margherita ($19). It's a personal size pizza and not a huge bang for your buck. I opted for beef mozzarella instead of buffalo. The pizza was pretty tasty. It had a nice smoky crust. But it had a few deficiency. First of all it was way too thin at the bottom. And the sauce was way to runny. So the bottoms became completely soggy and would tear apart when you try to pick it up. Also there was too much crust, not enough cheese or sauce. Finally, the 4 basil leafs were placed before the bake and became completely dried. They should have been placed just before serving. My biggest complaint is that we ordered a bottle of water and got a small bottle that costed $8. I will say that the server was excellent. She was very professional and sweet. I wish I could score higher, but I score based on the pizza not the service. The ambiance is pretty nice. But I would recommend replacing the plastic flowers on the table with real ones. Even no flowers at all is better than plastic ones. The restaurant has more items on the menu other than pizza. I wouldn't mind giving them another shot to try their other offerings. read more

Getting a table for four on a weekday was very easy, and we enjoyed the service, food, and ambiance. The food was a true delight. We indulged in a pizza, spinach gnocchi, calamari, and pappardelle, each dish bursting with flavour and crafted with the finest ingredients. The portions were generous, and we were so satisfied that we couldn't manage dessert, although we were tempted by the excellent selection. Their extensive drink menu offers something for everyone, whether you're into cocktails, wine, or beer. We loved the variety! Another big plus was the spacious layout with many big tables, perfect for groups or families. The washroom is on the main floor in the back. read more

Green street parking available. Came during the week. Spot opens at 4pm. I called for reservation - not sure if it's required. Quaint spot for an early bite to eat. Rigatoni alla caprese was simply delicious. The basil pesto was such a nice touch. All the ingredients complemented each other without being overpowering. Short ribs with assorted veggies. Standard. Nothing out of the ordinary. The veggies were slightly bland. read more

Went for the pizza because reviews said it was known for that but they were unfortunately super soggy near the centre. Seems to be too much sauce or too thing of a crust so it was quite soggy. The gnocchi was ok. Could have been chewier. read more

Ordered delivery on a few occasions and it arrived cold every time. The restaurants only response was to throw the delivery driver under the bus, which was false as we're about 5 mins from the restaurant. Cold food and poor customer service aside the food was ok (after we reheated it). read more

Incredible food, but understaffed - My family and I ordered the seafood platter, bruschetta, and Caesar salad to start as appetizers. We also ordered the pescatora, the bufala mozzarella margherita, the cowboy steak (special), the black truffle paste pizza, and the mushroom risotto as sharing mains. All in all, everything was fantastic although I would most highly recommend the seafood platter, bruschetta, and mushroom risotto. I will say that service was a little bit delayed not due to a bad server, but limited number of servers (I only saw one waitress in the entire restaurant on a Friday night). She was extremely busy, and yet continued to serve happily and as efficient as she could be. Nonetheless, a great experience. read more

Really enjoyed this experience. I came here with a group of friends and we all shared a bunch of dishes together. Appetizers: calamari, mezzo mezzo (cured meats and cheeses), also they had burrata on special (which tasted alright) Main course: all were super delicious We had the mushroom ravioli, the squid ink tagliatelle, pappardelle funghi, and the gnocchi (my least fave but still good) Pizza: got the artichoke one ... hmm I didn't think it was anything special and even picking the slice up, all the toppings slipped off 3/5 Dessert: tiramisu, creme brulee, mocha panna cotta All three were really amazing!! What I found really funny or odd was that a server came up to us and just handed us the bill without us asking or a warning that it was close to closing. It made me look around to see if we were the last customers that night.. and we weren't? That was really confusing.. Overall I liked this better than gusto 101. It's a really cute spot, and not too busy on a Friday night. read more

We went their after around 9pm. They had a teenager's birthday party that night. So was a bit noisy that night. Overall the ambience was good and we got the street parking right outside the restaurant. Service was good. Waitress was nice and respectful. We ordered calamari and and Di parma. Calamari was god but some of the pieces were overcooked and rubbery. Di Parma was alright. The dough was nice and fresh and the toppings were flavorful as well. The the pizza got very soggy from the middle and it broke every time we tried to get the slice in our plates. I would say it was an alright experience not something exceptional. We might go back if around the neighborhood. read more

LOVE THIS PIZZA PLACE. The pizza here is absolutely fantastic. Not heavy at all, and the dough is to die for. I ordered the one with prosciutto, arugula, and fresh fior de latte. Loved it! For dessert, I had the panda cotta with fresh berry jam. Absolutely perfect. Prices were fair and service was excellent. I'll definitely be returning! read more

When I went in , planning to order a bottle of wine , full course meal, spare no expense dinner wearing my clean jeans, new shoes, a hoodie and conservative haircut ( i work in corporate events ) to a near empty restaurant just now, i was greeted with a disaproving sneer, turned up nose and was asked if I had a reservation! It's not the reservation that bugs me but the dirty look, as if I were a vagrant! I make over 100k a year. This is how they treat people? Fuck Pazzi read more

This place is as authentic as it gets for Italian Pizza in Toronto. To be honest I would avoid pizzerias here until I discovered Pizza e pazzi. I have been to the Wychwood location numerous times and I have never been disappointed. Recently I visited their Corso Italia place with a group of pizza lovers. I had high expectations and let's say they delivered on every bit except the service. The food was fantastic. I ordered the Diavola as usual. This pizza never fails me. Love the spicy salami and basil with a drizzle of spicy olive oil on top! We also had the crispy calamari appetizer to share. While not the best, it was well cooked and seasoned. All of us were very satisfied at the end of our meal. Then Lambert ordered the nutella dessert to share. It was amazing. Fried dough drizzled with generous amounts of nutella and powdered sugar. Every bite was heavenly. I was really full but I couldn't stop eating it. All in all a great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to come back with a group again! read more

This Neapolitan Pizzeria deserves its time to shine in the Toronto VERO Pizza limelight! I always go for the classic, Margherita with bufala mozzarella and every time it's pure pleasure in my mouth! The staff is great, all of our servers have spoken Italian and when you phone a reservation they make you smile with their "Ciao Bella" and "Grazie Bella" remarks! They used to have a frizzantino (non-sweet) red wine, Gragnano which is the only wine anyone should ever drink with pizza (otherwise choose beer) and I wish they could bring it back I hear they opened a new Jewish Italian, Roman pasta place, will have to give it a try! If you're jonesing for an excellent VERO Neapolitan pizza... Pizza e Pazzi delivers! Grazie Mille! Buonissimo! read more

I've been going to this restaurant off and on since it opened. Their menu has changed a bit from time to time but they stay pretty consistent. As far as pizza goes this place makes what they call certified Neapolitan pizza. That is they use the methods and ingredients that are used in the official pizza from Napoli. That being said I've had many of their different pizzas both ordered, sampled, shared with others etc. I've had maybe half of each the pizza with sauce (rosso=red) or without (blanco) and they really make it as you would expect if you had something to compare it to. I've never been to Napoli so I can't compare it to the "real thing" but I can say that their food is very good regardless. They make good food and they happen to be authentic. I particularly enjoy the tuna salad as a starter which you can share because it's a big serving as well as the fried dough with nutella as a dessert. I was just there yesterday and the menu is less explanatory than it used to be because the descriptions are harder to understand for a layperson non-Italian like myself but for what it's worth their product is a very good product. The service every time I've ever been has been decent to great. I can't say I've ever had a bad experience there as far as service goes but the food it special that's for sure. read more

We used to come here just for the pizza. We love the Neapolitan style, especially for the simultaneously chewy and crispy crust, and this place is the closest outside of Napoli that we know. Yesterday, we tried the spaghetti with clams (spaghetti alle vongole) and the fish stew (zuppa di pesce) daily special since we already had had pizza this week. We were very pleasantly surprised. The spaghetti was fresh and the fish stew was sensational. We have a handful of favorite Italian restaurants in the city (we're quite picky), like the Sicilian Ardo and the Tuscan Tutti Matti and yesterday, this one joined the list. Unlike the other two though, this one is less formal and much more affordable. Definitely a gem in the rough! read more

Yum. I have only had pasta from here and it was A1 Will try pizza next. First visit great. read more

As good as it gets for neapolitan pizza, and maybe, Toronto's best. The other items we gave here, calamari, and a spectacular buffalatta and parma appetizer have also been terrific. Homemade foccacia with three toppings provide a nice start to the meal. All this in a very fine looking restaurant, with lots of character. Preventing a five star review is the service. We've been twice and the first time, service was fine, the second time it came with attitude and a "i'll do it my way" kind of thing", bordering on rudeness. After we clearly made it aware that we wouldn't take this kind if thing with our attitude, it improved, but still not great. Sorry Pizza e pazzi...but you need to improve the attitude with some of your people. You're food and restaurant are amazing, this doesn't need to ruin it. read more

Right off the bat I can tell you that I am not a pizza elitist. I'm just a guy who absolutely loves pizza in all it's shapes, sizes, flavors and permutations from the absolute greasy of the greasiest, to a perfectly flat crusted, gourmet-topping-covered pie. A welcomed addition to what some might say Toronto's burgeoning Neopolitan-style (read: http://bit.ly/pnrVnr) pizza craze is Pizza e Pazzi - loosely translated as "Pizza and Crazy" - in the increasingly popular Corso Italia neighbourhood of St. Clair West. Planning a Friday dinner with my lovely mother, whom I had not had a standard dine-out night with in quite some time, I thought I'd give PeP a shot given the wonderful review posted on BlogTO (http://bit.ly/q9MuDJ). Although they accept reservations via a dedicated e-mail address and phone number, I was told that the place wouldn't be busy enough to warrant a 7:00 PM reso for this particular Friday night. Cool. Upon entering, we were sat immediately. My first impressions, visually, were quite pleasing. A definitely casual environment, lots of seating with an open kitchen and the piece-de-resistance wood burning pizza oven in the back makes me feel comfortable and yet, hungry. No pretension here! Checking out the menu, despite the requisite offerings of salads, pastas and mains, my eye is caught to a few important pieces of information that sets my mouth a-water. In addition to being a certified, authentic creator of Neapolitan pizza there are three important rules: "no pineapple * no half/half * no subsitutions [sic]". This is great because I abhor pineapple on my pizza and it means these people are SERIOUS. We are first brought a wire-cone of freshly baked bread & pita triangles, which go very well with the easy to pour canisters of EVOO on every table and the delightful surprise of a trio of antipasto, including a couple green olives, marinated mushrooms and another tasty veg spread that we quickly devoured without even having ordered a thing! Buoyed by hype from the BlogTO review, I don't hesitate to order us the Fried Risotto Balls with Fior-di-Latte mozzarella. They arrive minutes later with a Bruschetta garnish and we dig in. WOW. The rice is perfectly cooked, and the cheese is both gooey and adds a delightfully creamy texture. Coupled with a great crispy deep fried-ness, these tasty (albeit quite heavy) balls are a win. Okay, now on to the star of the show. I take complete control of the meal here and order the standard Margherita, which all pizza-heads know is the standardized test of a purportedly authentic Neapolitan style pie. Our pizzas are served to us atop giant pizza style plates with the word "Pizza" strewn across in all sorts of kitchy fonts. Nice touch. Upon my utensils hitting the pie, which meets my expectations at first glance with a smattering of melted buffalo mozzarella, risen and slightly blackened crust, light-red tomato sauce and delicately adorned basil leaves, I can already tell I'm in for a treat. I cut my first slice and realize immediately that a new contender for the Toronto pizza crown has arrived. The dough is soft and fluffy without being mushy, the tomato sauce is tangy, tasty and kind of addictive and the mozzarella is the slippery white gold that keeps me on a steady rhythm of intense pizza consumption. Having devoured our pies, sopped up the remaining tomato sauce using the thick crust and paid our (reasonably priced, I might add) bill, we both agree that Pizza e Pazzi is absolutely deserving of it's namesake; Yes, they have pizza here. And yes, it is absolutely crazy if you don't take a date, loved one or perhaps a solo mission over to one of the best new authentic Neapolitan pizza places in Hogtown! read more

This was on someones top 10 list for 2011 so I really wanted to try it. Space: dark, intimate, yet inviting. (does that make sense). Food: LOVED The bread. It's perfect. As for the pizza - it rocks too. It has those black bubbles on the crust, the perfect sauce as and just the right amount of cheese. It all worked. $16 and happy. Service: wonderful friendly waiter. Cant complain. read more

On a quest to discover the best pizza around, a small group of pizza fans met here on Wednesday evening to give the pizza a try. Located almost right at the corner of Dufferin and St Clair Ave W it's a super nice location with a focus put on their massive pizza oven. I enjoyed the focaccia/bread with olive paste, mushrooms and what I believe was artichokes to start. One of the group ordered their calamari to start and it was served well, not overcooked and battered perfectly for my taste. It was served with only lemon so I can appreciate the authenticity of the dish, but I guess i was looking for something to dip it in (old habits I suppose). Still good with salt and lemon juice! I went with the funghi e Salsicce (mushroom and sausage) pizza, which was $19.75 for one personal sized Neapolitan style pizza. I have to give them full marks on this pizza. Dough, sauce, toppings, all of exceptionally high quality and perfectly cooked (if my mouth is watering right now as I recall my experience, it's a testament to how much I enjoyed it). I should note that I expected a top shelf pizza as they are one of (if not THE ONLY) spots in Toronto that is Neapolitan Pizza certified locations. to find out how one becomes certified authentic (meaning it tastes EXACTLY how a pizza in Naples would) see the qualifications found here - http://americas.pizzanapoletana.org/getcertifed.php The only gaff and the only reason for a less than perfect review was the service. I found our server to not be too interested in our group, awkward, not exactly engaging and when he left the bill he then disappeared for 20 minutes. I'm not sure where to because this spot isn't that big, but he was GONE. We had to flag another server to find him so we could pay and leave. Maybe an off night? I'll be back - this pizza is the real deal! Eatcrest Out read more

I always hoped that one day, I could sit in the dining room of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen watching all the drama that unfolded on his show... whether it was an act for good entertainment, I still thought it would be a memorable experience..... well folks, I experienced it at Pizza e Pazzi earlier this week! My groupon was expiring so I decided to go on date night with me husband, something I was much looking forward to, especially with the praise I have heard about this restaurant. I walked in on a Tuesday, the place seemed busy and the server came quickly to seat us. We requested to be farther away from the door, which he gladly accommodated. We were off to a good start. Shortly after, he comes back and tells us that the only thing they were serving at the moment... was PIZZA. I was a little confused as to what was happening but apparently, they were short staffed. I was excited for the pizza, yes but also wanted pasta and food of my choosing. They said that they could do "some" appetizers but they are busier than expected so cannot accommodate at this time. We came to consensus on what pizza we wanted because that was pretty much the only thing we could order, and the appetizers we were allowed to get - Eggplant Parmesan and Deep Fried Risotto Balls. We ordered a glass of Merlot, which we were told was OUT... and I wanted a glass of Red Bubbly........and....well... they didn't have that either. I'm starting to find this amusing. The complimentary foccacia was tasty, which accompanied three spreads - brucschetta, olive, and pickled mushrooms. While we were munching away, we could hear the table behind us with the server apologizing for food going into the garbage and two pizzas coming right now. Not sure what was happening. Our risotto balls came looking completely fried and refried. The shell was tough and way too crispy for my liking. The eggplant parmesan looked like it was sitting on the counter all day and drenched in cheese and stuck into the broiler for a quick melt. Lots of quick fixes that question the overall freshness of the food. When the pizza came out - I found two measly pieces of basil in it, which I had expected more. Good thing the crust was nice and soft but by now, I'm just laughing at the bickering in the kitchen, about how "people are sick" and "babysitting should not be required" and "you'll understand when you have kids" - it was a total soap opera. As we finished our dinner, I noticed that two large parties that had come in shortly after we started eating were getting their food............ and they had PASTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even going to tell you the anger that flooded in my brain. Apparently, they had called for emergency help and a chef had showed up, allowing them to function fully in the kitchen. Why was I not advised of this? When I questioned the server, he told me that I could order pasta now and take it home with me? No thanks. To end if off, our server said: "While we don't give away vouchers, if you come back next time and I recognize your face, I can hook you up".... no offense.. but you didn't even ask for my name... you're never going to remember my face. This night was full of apologies, disappointment and a perfect way to ruin a much anticipated date night. Thanks for nothing. read more

I arrived sceptical on a Saturday night as I didn't have a reservation and I've been hearing a lot about this place so I thought it would be impossible to get into. I was really surprised because we walked right in. thought it would be packed - it SHOULD have been packed - it was great! The pizza is really good - I had the Diavola and for those that don't like too much spice it would be manageable. I might have made it a bit spicier but it was flavourful. My friend had the type that had four different toppings. She really liked it. I thought the crust was really good - it was thin, but not too thin - it had some oomph! The room was quite comfortable and our server was great. Highly recommend it! read more

Maybe my expectations were too high, given it's comparison to spots like Pizza LIbretto, but I was disappointed. And Libretto this ain't. The atmosphere at Pizza e Pazzi was bustling and full of good energy. The owners (or managers?) actively on the floor and the servers hustling continually. Lots of engagement. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes for our reserved table because the party before us took their time, but it wasn't a big deal. They started us off with some chewy walnut bread and nice condiments (caramelized onions, a vegetarian dip that I couldn't quite identify, sauteed mushrooms). Service was attentive, although the server seemed very disappointed that we weren't ordering lots of alcohol. We all ordered salad and mains. The salads were decent. My mixed greens were literally just that with some very sweet cherry tomatoes. A little watery, maybe. My husband ordered a special salad of bufalo mozzarella and shaved truffles which should have been spectacular (especially for the $25 price tag) but was instead just average. The cheese was maybe a little too salty and water-logged. Not as nice as some high quality mozzas I've had in the past. Pizzas were very good - just not outstanding. My tre funghi was yummy, but was under-seasoned to my taste. The margarita was much better (probably because they use the salty mozzarella that we tasted raw on the salad earlier) so it had more flavour. Overall, it was very good pizza, if a bit doughy for this style. I agree with a recent reviewer - in this area I'd pick Marcellos over this place. It's more homey and less elegant but the flavours are just so much richer and they are much more generous. Pizza e Pazzi should focus more on their flavours and not try so hard in the "We're new and chic" category. Why would we spend $75 for a dinner for two (sans alcohol) when we could spend so much less and get better food elsewhere? Vegetarian Score: 6.5/10. Not as much choices as in other italian spots for veggies, but you won't walk away hungry. read more

Decent, but nothing special. The Hubster and I came for a nice dinner on Saturday. I was craving pasta, and he wanted pizza. He was put off by the choices, being a real carnivore. He opted for the pasta carbonara and I had the fettucine bolognese. I started off with the soup of the day: mushroom leek, which was GIGANTIC and very very tasty. The pastas were fine. Nothing mind-blowing, but not terrible. The noodles were cooked just right, which was great. I think the owner was our server. He seemed pretty disinterested and never told us the specials, which I heard from another server for the table next to us. A shame, since one of the items was something I really really would have liked to order (ravioli). We probably won't be back to this spot, despite the fact that it's just a few blocks down the street from us. Sidenote, the pastas were huge and we took the rest home. Later on that night, we reheated them and they were FANTASTIC. Not sure why they were better the second time around. read more

Pizza e Pazzi is my favourite restaurant in Toronto for many reasons. First of all, I love the cozy, family atmosphere of the restaurant; the owners, Chefs Tomo and Gloria, together with their children, are a beautiful family and very kind and hard-working people with great talent at what they do. The food is ALWAYS amazingly delicious, be it pizza, pasta, risotto or the daily specials, they are always prepared from fresh, wholesome ingredients from scratch, and taste absolutely delectable. The servers are lovely, polite and very attentive to the guests' needs. Last time I visited Pizza e Pazzi with my family (Easter Sunday), we had a couple of appetizers (grilled octopus and stuffed portobello mushrooms) that were both beautifully served and delicious. For main course we had: the Pere woodfired Neapolitan pizza, the Wild Mushroom Risotto, and two of the day's specials, Pappardelle lamb ragout, and Grilled lamb chops. The platters all looked very inviting and the food tasted WONDERFUL. Needless to say, not a morsel was left on our plates when we were finished! It has been a pleasure to enjoy this displayed art of and passion for authentic Italian cuisine. Can't wait to be back for more soon! read more

They do make super pizza here! And a nice selection of wines as while. Friendly staff, and good service. I discovered this place by accident because the line up at Marcello's, a local landmark, was longgggg! Nice atmosphere, and the wood burning oven makes a nice pizza crust. Look forward to going back soon! Oh yes, not just pizza, they have other great menu choices too. read more

Vera Pizza Neapolitana - That's the real deal. This place is really good and I definitely want to go back sometime soon. Prices is not that bad, and their food.... yummy! I liked the complimentary focaccia bread and some of those spread thingies, they were good. My sister and I ordered the Polpette dela nonna, and the pizza diavola, everything was slicked with oil and yeah, I was practically in heaven while I was stuffing everything in my mouth. You must try their chilli oil whatever that is, it just made everything taste better. Server guy made a mistake with my sister's drink order but was cool enough to replace it with the right thing, which makes this place amazing, plus their cute. lol. I like their accent! It just makes the place more authentic. CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. read more

Truly authentic Neapolitan pizza! We had a great meal in this little Italian restaurant. Ambiance: The restaurant is small and family style. There are couple of tables where they put together for a large party. Atmosphere was very casual for get-together and chat over dinner. Service: Service was attentive. Our wait staff was very detailed when we asked her about the menu. They were keen on serving authentic Italian food so you can't find chicken in their pasta. They also recommended the sister restaurant, Rione IX, which serves Roman style pizza at the end of our meal and showed us the menu. Food: Don't go elsewhere if you are looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza! They started us with good foccacia bread with a nice olive spread that I really like. We ordered calamari, burrata, and tortino as our appetizers. Calamari was huge, good for 6 people, crispy and nicely battered. The tortino was nicely flavoured with tomato sauce and the fior di latte was very fresh. Burrata was not too bad, the pesto and tomatoes added a nice flavour to it. I like burrata cheese that is a bit more runnier. For mains, my pappardelle with tiger shrimps and porcini mushrooms was cooked just right!!! Perfectly al dante. The sauce was sweet but a bit too rich. Too bad the tiger shrimps were still a bit mushy and wasn't as crisp as I like. The baked gnoochi was served super hot from the oven. Say yes to cheese! I sampled a small slice of nduja pizza and it was perfecto! Nice thin crust, perfect chewiness and crispness, and slightly charred from the wood-fired oven. The sauce was fragrantful and the fior di latte was very fresh. Nduja sausage was spicy and salty. It was a great meal! In terms of Neapolitan pizza, this place is right up there with Pizzeria Libretto and Ovest, and even better than Queen Mergherita Pizza! Next on the agenda is to visit the sister restaurant for Roman pizza! read more

Like someone else said before, nothing really especial, just decent . Try to keep it simple, I think their Neapolitana is their best choice. My two friends had the pizza with procciuto and Arugula $19 each, personal size, it was fresh but missing a lot of flavour. A bit pricy, I ordered one of their pasta dishes and it was tasty but the portion size was extremely small, smaller than a kids size, for this reason I found it over price as well. read more

I didn't know anything about this until I parked my car to head to Marcellos. Fortunately, Marcellos was quite busy so we opted to go here instead, and I'm glad we did. As others mentioned, it is a small place and they couldn't seat us right away but we opted to wait. Service the entire evening was pretty good and prompt. We weren't super hungry so we didn't order a lot - just wine, two apps and a pizza. The octopus was fantastic - smelled, tasted great with a great texture - not rubbery nor is it like jello. Also ordered polenta, and the yellow tomato sauce definitely made the dish. They promptly informed us that there wasn't any rhubarb for the dish but we wanted it anyways. For the pizza we had the zucca because of the unusual (for us) ingredient of butternut squash. I loved the crust and how all the flavours melded together. For dessert it was a tiramisu. It was house made the day before (good start) but alas.. The cream was fantastic but I wish there was more lady fingers in it. Definitely a solid find and worthwhile to visit. read more
