    Gniochi is excellent as well as the duck spaghetti! Everything is amazing from the food to the service!

    You can enjoy budget-friendly pizzas here, as well as some house made pastas. Try the toothsome duck egg spaghetti with creamy pork sugo and grated caciocavallo cheese, a sinfully rich indulgence. Read more

    Simply shared, tasty food offerings at a value price and served via a friendly staff. You must try the Risotto; the flavor cooked perfectly. Applause-Applause for this restaurant.

    If you’re dreaming of warmer weather, enjoy a taste of summer with Acanto’s Winter Citrus Salad — a refreshing combination of pomegranates, hazelnuts, shaved fennel and pecorino. Read more

    Spontaniously walked, impessed with the food. Definately eat the Bruschetta it is with Truffled and I also suggest the Soagetti with lobster.

    I would recommend the small plate, were very yummy. But all the food looked great to be honest. They have happy hour from 2.30pm too...

    Been here 5+ times
    We went for brunch on Sunday. The brunch special was poached eggs over oven-dried tomatoes & parmesan polenta & it was delicious.

    Another really great brunch with creamy polenta topped by slow-roasted pork shoulder topped with an over easy egg. Yum!

    Nice alternative to Cindy's next door since Cindy's was on a long wait. Pleasantly surprised that the food was quite good.

    First time here but I really enjoyed. Owned by Billy Lawless of The Gage but totally different feel.

    Not much in the way of single glasses of wine. Unless you’re prepared to handle a full bottle for your evening, I suggest you try somewhere rose.

    Unbelievably pretentious. Seriously overpriced, small and seems more like a Loop businessman's dating spot after work. Thankfully had one drink and moved on.
