Jenn JSeptember 28, 2021SO GOOD. I don’t usually thoroughly enjoy food when I eat out due to my dietary restrictions but the chef made a curry sauce that I could eat and it was absolutely incredible. Live music was a great!
Jana N.August 31, 2016Amazing! Just delicious and good Italian food! Fresh foccacia is sooo tasty! Come before 6 pm or after 8 pm. No reservations possible and long lines. Worth the wait!
- ManilOctober 12, 2014I had the eggs benedict with chorizo, focaccia and melons. The hollandaise sauce was silky. The toasted bagel with raspberry jam was crunchy. The mimosa was tangy. Everything was delicious.
Darlene ArchibaldMarch 9, 2013I love to go there for my new favourite dish, the Prince of Tides. A spinach salad with scallops, bacon, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. And my favourite waiter Chris!
Carol CostelloMay 6, 2018Caesar salad was fantastic; meat lasagna was a large portion and very good. Service was friendly, helpful and not rushed. A lovely relaxing evening
Mark ChambersJuly 11, 2018Fabulous evening. Great food, friendly staff and lively atmosphere. Be prepared to queue for a short while but it’s worth the wait.- sergio ramirezOctober 16, 2022Service is excepcional. Pasta is delicious. Great atmosphere. Only thing is missing is to change those cheap glasses of wine, for a decent one to drink wine.
Aileen CoyleJuly 17, 2013Definitely worth the wait! Great experience. Delicious pasta. Amazing service and great live music. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Victoria!
Lisa TaitJuly 20, 2011Their fresh-made Focaccia bread is DELISH & free w meal - save room for your meal! Excellent food but really hard to navigate if u have mobility issues as it's packed closely. Get take-out?! :)- Natasha LeeApril 2, 2010Some of the greatest pasta in town! A long time favorite to locals. Busy, fun energy, prepare to sit super close to your neighbour and probably wait in line. The seafood lasagna is awesome! Read more
- R RSeptember 27, 2010You will see a lineup every night there...but its so worth the wait. They even serve wine in a coffee mug while you wait! Crab Lasagna ("Mr Roberts") was awesome. Ps. the bread they serve is amazing!

Alway busy but its open late so good choice for a late meal- David MarshallMarch 12, 2012The Hemingway Short Story is the single greatest pasta dish one could ever eat.

Bottomless soup and their amazing bread for only $6.50. Go early to get a spot - enjoy- Try ordering the soup - any kind! Then decide after that for an entree if u have room, chances are you'll be full!
