The recipe was simple and easy to follow. The preparation before cooking was a little bit challenging for me as i have never done those before, but still the whole process took me just a little bit over an hour. And the Chicken Cacciatore tasted surprisingly good, even though it was prepared by me. So I had a good meal and got the satisfaction from feeling like a real chef. The portion was a bit too small for a full meal, but I was on diet so 80% full is good enough for me.

I remember the first time I actually walked in here, it was recent, the Italian Street Festival, I was in need of lime's, I was stuck in the street festival, trying to escape it and get to my car to get out of there, yet taking a break from the sea of people and I came in here, and I had to say 3 for $1 for lime's (especially during times of fluctuation for this fruit) hey, you can take my loonie! They looked good, the prices were fair, and that is what you will get here for anything they sell you, fair prices. Yesterday was a good example, brussel sprouts, was outside where all the produce is usually put out, and they were listed for $1.99 lb, went to bag some up while my wife was inside looking for ingredients on her checklist, she didn't find them, yet we still bought what I picked out. Later on while being at another grocery store, saw those same brussel sprouts for $2.99 lb, felt like a winner indeed. A great shop for the people who live around the area, it's not your 'Choices or Whole Foods' but it does have enough of the essentials to get you cooking your meal at home.

I'm trying to cut down on my dairy intake so cheese is on its way out.....Sorry! But, oh, the deli meat is so nice. Never mind the price. I go for value and that is foremost in choosing such specialty. My favorite is their prosciutto​, both the local ones and those imported from Italy. They would thinly slice it for you​ and carefully layer them across wax papers so that you can enjoy them one by one with ease. Go late at night past 8 and the line up is relatively good, and sometimes non-existent. The staff will take their time showing care to wrap that meat perfectly for you. I like smiling at the staff behind the counter because they inevitably smile back. Smiling is contagious.

I thought I had died and gone to heaven lol. I bought an epicurean cutting board. Add well. The pictures will show it much better than I can but from now on when I need something kitchen related, I know where I'm going. I also noticed that some of the items were as good quality, if not better than some of the major stores and the price prices were sometimes even less expensive. You can't beat that. I found out they also gave cooking classes there as well. Staff were friendly and helpful. The store was well organized and clean. There is free street parking in front.

We ate a delicious sample of mango chicken salad because that didn't require cooking, and then the next day, our fees were promptly refunded in full. So all in all, a lovely place to be when the power is on! Pro tip: if you've come with someone else, get there early so you can sit together!

They didn't last long on the table with our group! The heaters weren't working properly on our table, so it took a few tries to get our cheese melted with the bulgogi. So they went ahead and pre-melted the cheese with the chicken before bringing it to the table. Not only was this mix tasty, it was fun scoop it across for our dish. I order a japchae to go, which was also delicious!

The rice really stood out (from Hokkaido, which is pretty rare), and it was excellent. Unlimited miso soup is a big plus, and they also have good Japanese teas and lattes.

They're also very kid-friendly: they provided plates and utensils for children, and the kids set I ordered for my 2-year-old son came in a cute boat, which he loved. My only complaint is that they aren't closer--I'd come more often if they were.

There were five of us, and we were warmly greeted by a friendly host who confirmed our reservation and guided us to our table. I had the pleasure of trying the Citrus Grapefruit Spritz cocktail, which was fantastic, and my friends also enjoyed their drinks. We started with a few appetizers, including: * Carne Cruda - raw beef, mushrooms, bagna cauda, smoked egg yolk * Polpo e Patata - grilled octopus & new potato hash, poached egg, salmoriglio * Italian Meatballs with Focaccia Bread Everything was delicious, but the Italian meatballs completely stole the show--soft, fresh, and perfectly seasoned with a touch of spice, just like in Italy . For our main courses: * I ordered the Linguine with geoduck clam, Calabrian chili, and parsley -- fresh, hot, and bursting with flavor. * My friends ordered the Rigatoni all'Arrabbiata with San Marzano tomatoes, Calabrian chili, and stracciatella -- rich, spicy, and comforting. The cherry on top of the night: our waiter surprised my friend by bringing out the cake I had purchased, and we all sang Happy Birthday, Judy!! Such a thoughtful and personal touch that made the celebration feel extra special. The service was attentive and friendly throughout, and the atmosphere made our birthday dinner unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for authentic Italian flavors, great drinks, and a warm, welcoming vibe.
