Friend and I both got the funghi rigatoni and it was sooo good, portion was also reasonably sized. Server was friendly and attentive and I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant/neighbourhood. Would definitely come back!

We arrived at 5:30. Waiter refused to give us a table for 4. We are elderly. It was very difficult to share a meal. When we left at 6:08 restaurant was totally empty. He Could have made an exception. Waiter ( male. Blond ) was very dismissive. We shared a pasta. Barely lukewarm !! It was the one with funghi. We told our waiter. Again. He was dismissive. I will never return again. Hope I do not get food poisoning from luke warm food. We were happy to eat and leave in 40 minutes. !! NEVER AGAIN!!

Dinner with my friends living nearby. This small and cozy restaurant has Neapolitan stove for their Pizza. All dishes are very nice. The Antipasti, Calamari Alla Griglia is one of the best. All the pastas are well made. Risotto Frutti di Mare has lots of seafood and all ingredients are fresh. Overall, we have a very nice and relax dinner before the long weekend.

Update: I think it's our third time coming here. Prices remains the same and the the quality is very consistent. This time I tried the ravioli, and I was absolutely blown away. Better than anything I've had on our trip to Rome, Naples, and Amalfi. My wife loved the cacio e pepe better than Tonnerallo's in Rome. That says a lot. The only dish we didn't enjoy was the Napoletana pizza. But that is our own fault for not recognizing the list of ingredients didn't include (mozzarella) cheese (a.k.a "fior de latte" on the menu). Original: What a little gem tucked away inside a residential neighborhood. Our waitress was nice and friendly, and the food was phenomenal! Fresh house-made pastas, and the pizzas were fantastic! Prices are very fair considering the hyper-inflation Ontarioans are facing from food-corporations and restaurant-chains. Will definitely be coming back to try all their other dishes!

This is a lovely little restaurant tucked away in East York. The type of place you dont want to tell too many ppl about cuz itll ruin the vibe. The staff were very friendly. Our server Natalie was an absolute delight! I went with my sisters and when we are together we can be a challenge to deal with (indecisive, easily distracted) but Natalie understood the assignment and answered all our questions, gave us suggestions and laughed along with us. I had the special of the day which was spaghetti Bolognese when it came out I thought it was a big watery but the flavor was incredible. Every one was happy with the dishes they ordered and some even ordered more to go. Overall I will be visiting again perhaps as a date night. Highly recommend. Parking: There is a small strip plaza across the street with parking available

La Casetta cartered our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. Every single dish was a huge hit and the service team went way beyond expectations. The price was so reasonable and they were awesome to deal with as well. I just wish I lived closer so that I could support this business more often.

Terrible customer service went in and the lady came up in a rude manner. When we asked to use the bathroom I was told to pay to use it. If you want customers why be rude within the first second they come in as a business?

Every single dish here tastes like homemade food. Service is excellent. Once I ordered seafood pasta and by mistake I got pasta with Raghu sauce. It was soooooooo delicious. When I called to let them know about the mix up they offered me a free meal with a dessert, I did not expect that. Very welcoming atmosphere. I strongly recommend this place.

The definition of a hidden gem ! Tucked away inside this little restaurant in a residential neighbourhood is some of the best Italian food in the whole city. The food is seriously amazing, very fresh & inspired Italian menu. They have a real wood fire oven for their pizza. And their pastas are probably the best I ve had in the city!! Not pretentious, just extremely good food. And the price is very reasonable. plus that patio is adorable! Cant wait to eat there this summer.

Had a Ceasar Salad, Tonnarelli Pasta and a Neapolitan Pizza. Everything was great. Though it was full quarters there was parking right in front. Our waitress recommended the Asti Barberry wine and it was perfect. One small thing: two of the large sea-shells were empty but i found their treasures later in among the others in the sauce. Probably best if they were stuck back inside their shells as the dish is being plated, if possible, for customers who may wonder, not realizing where theyve disappeared to.

We were greeted by a rude hostess who told us they had a reservation, and we would have to eat outside. There were only two of us and two older adults inside. It was cold and rainy today, and we had to eat outside. We were in a rush between the TFC game and a hockey game at Leaside, so we stayed and ate outside. By the way, the restaurant was empty when we left. The food was excellent; the service was very unwelcoming. Ensure your customers are comfortable because you never know who they are or what kind of business they could bring you.

Got the food via Uber. Ordered calamari fritti, three pizza, a risotto and a pasta dish. The calimari was deeply disappointing. A small, expensive, not tasty dish. My seafood pasta dish was very well done. Saving grace, I ve added a full star because this dish was excellent. The pizza was horrible. Not only was one pizza requested to be lightly done, which came burnt, the other s were very lacklustre. Ive attached pictures of the pizza. Can t believe someone would send an order out in this shape. The vesuvio pizza was a spectacular miss. As you can see, there is some shredded cheese that clearly was an after thought. Really disappointed, won t be ordering again.

Truly italian! Sabrina came here from Italy 5 years ago and is doing an amazing job. The sauces were so vibrant and tasty we took some of it home even though the portions were just right it was so rich and delightful we wanted to spread it over another meal back home. I would go to this place over any franchise restaurant any day of the week! Looking forward to coming back to visit my aunt again who lives in the area.

I stumbled in here while hunting down groceries on a Good Friday. I had a look at the menu, and for the heck of it decided to stay for a meal. I had the rigatoni al funghi and was unequivocally delighted with my meal (paired beautifully with a glass of Prosecco). The pasta might have been more al dente than I prefer, but the sauce included chicken and generous amounts of mushrooms and kale. It was honestly a perfect little meal. I took home a couple of desserts (cannoli & tiramisu), and the bites I snuck promise a nice treat later on. Parking: handful of spots out front.

Decent neighborhood Italian restaurant. The food tasted good and the portions were generous. I recommend the frutti di mare which was well executed. The prices were also very fair for what you get.

Great flavour on the pasta and pizza. Ordered appetizers that never arrived. Tables were cramped and got elbowed and bumped often. Pizza was cut in 4, I finished 3. Server asked if I was done and cleared the plate but never brought back the quarter of the pizza that was left. Go for the flavour but if they are busy maybe takeout is the way to go.

Looking for a real Italian pizza? Unfortunately this isnt the place to find it. I would call it a blend of American and Italian pizzas at best. We ordered two pizzas with delivery yesterday, Quarto Formaggi and Napoletana. Both pizzas were burnt beyond acceptable, but the main issue was the dough which was very far from Italian, or classic Neapolitan. The crust was plain and didnt raise and the daw was quite think. Quarto Formaggi had very little Gorgonzola, if any as well, Neapolitans ingredients were much better combined.

We love this place. The food is very good. I was sad to learn that Sal, the only employee with any personality, no longer works there. The only other thing that needs attention is how quickly tables are cleared. Tonight, we sat at one of the worst tables in the place while several tables along the window sat empty and not cleared. Aside from these faults, this is a great restaurant overall and we go frequently.
