    High quality pasta house in Toronto with a few options to enjoy either on location or take out. Due to the limited hours and smaller location, we opted to take out. Would recommend an early arrival as there’s a line before 12 noon. Both Ravioli dishes were splendid and highly recommended - add Truffle where possible. The mozzarella ball was meaty and flavourful, went very well with their house bread. We loved the tiramisu; ingredient quality was high and worth the treat. We look forward to our next visit.

    3+1 ⭐️ Obviously I didnt read the reviews and just looked at food photos 🤤🤤 2 hour long wait, some ppl came after 2pm and still got in on lunch without barely waiting, so maybe try that. $36 for Spag & Meatballs - very al dante, the sauce and meatballs were good, I’d prefer some fresh basil, complimentary bread was nice. Super friendly, hard working staff and cannot fault a place for making homemade pastas!!!!!!They need to change their hours and long line ups.

    Always wanted to come here but their limited business hours make it quite challenging. Came here on wed at 11:45am for 12-2 lunch. I was 15th in line. I ordered at 12:30pm for takeout and got my pasta at 12:40pm. To get a table, i would likely be seated at around 1:15pm (for one person). I enjoyed the homemade pasta a lot, it tasted great. The pork flavour was not something i typically care for but that was their pasta of the day. I did appreciate the little dash of basil they added which gave the pasta a little “flare”. There are only 6 seats inside so if u dont make the first round of seating at 12pm, the next round would likely be 1245pm. I dont think the pasta is worth waiting over an hr for (for dine in), and i am not sure whether i would wait 45 mins again for take out… but i would certainly purchase from their retail shop.

    Hands down, best pasta in town! No word needed, it is totally random luck how long the line up will be but honestly worth the wait. Summer time wait time would be much longer while winter time, the line up is shorter. Thursday line up also seem shorter than Friday in my experience. Parking is tricky and parking patrol is often seen to give our ticket is you park illegally on the street.

    It’s really good but not worth waiting 1.5hr in line type good if that makes sense. The pasta is really fresh and amazing but i think the end product is not very memorable. I love this place for putting me on 18m prosciutto though.
