  • Hearty Handcrafted Pastas

    The kitchen prepares generous homemade pastas, from pillow-soft gnocchi to rich, meat-packed sauces made with pride.

    The food was absolutely delicious: really tasty, flavoursome pasta in a thick, rich sauce, with a pleasing quantity of meat in the dish

  • Spacious Group Dining Layout

    The dining room accommodates everything from intimate tables to large celebratory groups of up to twenty with ease.

    Lot's of parking on the street and a lot of space inside for a meal for two or a big party of even up to 20 or so.

  • Multi-Generational Family Gatherings

    Diverse, multi-generational menus and kid-friendly favorites allow entire families from toddlers to grandparents to dine happily together.

    The food was exceptional, with something for everyone (ages 2- late 70’s). The staff were professional, kind and extremely accommodating.

  • Bespoke Dietary & Allergen Preparation

    Rather than just omitting sauces, the chef prepares scratch allergen-free sauces to ensure guests with dietary needs enjoy full-flavored meals.

    The chef went to the trouble of making a special onion garlic free sauce for the veal scallopini. Most restaurants don’t go to that trouble.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality and culinary accommodations that go beyond typical casual dining

  • Custom Allergen-Free Sauce Preparation

    When a diner visited with severe onion and garlic intolerances, the kitchen prepared a custom sauce from scratch for their veal scallopini rather than simply serving a plain dish.

  • Early Opening for Family Memorials

    To comfortably host a family gathering and wake spanning ages 2 to late 70s, the restaurant opened early to ensure the group was welcomed with attentive care.

  • Generous At-Home Order Resolution

    When a takeaway order had an incorrect item, the staff immediately delivered the replacement free of charge and included an extra complimentary pizza.

  • Personal Hospitality for Stranded Diners

    When a diner arrived on the wrong day and lacked local phone reception to contact their companion, staff stepped in personally to help bridge the connection.

Before you head over

Helpful advice for planning your visit, from parking to group bookings and custom dietary requests.

  • Discuss Custom Dietary Needs Early

    If you have allergies or strict dietary restrictions like allium or gluten intolerances, mention them when ordering; the kitchen accommodates bespoke preparations rather than merely leaving off sauces.

  • Reserve Ahead for Large Gatherings

    When organizing family celebrations or large group dinners of up to 20 guests, book in advance to take advantage of the spacious seating arrangements.

  • Utilize Surrounding Street Parking

    On-street parking is readily available right outside the restaurant along Waverley Road, making arrival straightforward for group dining and casual visits.
