4 of us came here for dinner on a chilly Spring Saturday evening. We were seated outside under cover and thankfully there was a heater right near our table. The staff are really nice, friendly and helpful. We all shared the fondue and 4 cheese pizza (with added mushroom). The pizza was tasty but the base could have been cooked a bit longer. I had a special for my main which was sliced fillet of steak on a bed of rocket, then covered in parmesan and balsamic. It tasted really fresh and was a generous size. We also had one bottle of wine, couple of beers and one dessert. I thought it seemed a tad expensive at $120 per couple. But overall it was a pleasant experience.
When you first walk into the place it is nice and inviting. Woodfire oven buring and you are greeted quickly and taken to a table. After that it did take is about 15 minutes to get a waiters attention for a drink.
I ordered the pizza diavola and the pork scallopini, with the house red.
The pizza was the best of the 3. The scallopini was quite average and the house wine was very rough.
Altogether it was an average experience unfortunately.
Ordered 2 takeaway pizzas and we got them home they looked like they were made on a heated pitta bread. Both were lacking topping and the Capricciosa had hard boiled egg, **** all anchovies and the prosciutto was layered across the pizza after being removed from the oven. When we then added cheese and reheated the entire package all became edible but I will never go back. Price was very expensive also.
What amazes is the consistency of the food including the quality and how it is cooked. It is the opposite of mass produced hybrid italian food, e.g. the Pizza Ecolo or the Lamb might be simple examples but they let you enjoy distinguish taste sensations. It just tastes like real food not just some reheated Microwave dishes or some fancy but unidentifiable mishmash.

Some of the best Italian food north of the river, authentic with modern twists. Fantastic wait staff and alot of staff members are actually Italiano which is awesome. Prices are quite high but as to be expected with such high quality of food with fresh produce. Deffs will be back
This place never disappoints. Home made pasta- always yummy. The wood fired pizza is amazing. Great antipasto plates to share. Wine by the bottle or cafe. Great in winter or summer
