DELICIOUS & AUTHENTIC SEAFOOD ITALIAN CUISINE…read more I made reservations a few days in advance and was told that only the heated patio was available. But I knew this place was a gem when they called back the day after to inform me there was a cancellation and was now able to move our reservation indoors. I loved that! FOOD: - Complimentary bread tasted nice with the tomato sauce. - Calamari e Gamberi Fritti ($30) tasted so fresh and delicious! For a fried appetizer it wasn't too heavy between sharing for two. The portion was hearty for two and the size of the calamari and shrimp wasn't small. - Captain's Caesar salad ($15) tasted great as we expected for a Caesar salad and also fresh! It was also a good size for two. - Sea Bass Branzino From the Grill ($39) was a great choice! The garlic-lemon butter sauce was incredibly paired with the freshness of the fish and intensified the whole dish. I chose the side option of risotto blanco which was also a perfect pairing! - King Crab Papardelle ($46) was another great tasty choice! It came with multiple pieces of crab legs which were halved. The sauce and texture of the pasta was amazing! - Tiramisu ($13) was the best tiramisu I've had. I love a tiramisu with a strong espresso taste and this one did not disappoint. SERVICE: Our server was very attentive and friendly, as well as the other staff members that helped us out! AMBIENCE: The restaurant is within the same building as their market/grocer. A family-friendly Italian establishment and very hospitable greetings. The smell of fresh seafood even makes it better. I'd definitely return and try out more of their seafood and pasta dishes! And of course their Tiramisu.

I really enjoyed the mango pomelo and taro ball drink, but the strawberries were a bit sour. I…read morethink it would have been much better if it were strawberry season and the fruit was sweeter. I also tried the mango oat matcha, which was good for what it is, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable or out of the ordinary. The service was pretty quick which is always good. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'd come back to try some of their other drinks if I'm in the area.

The staff was friendly but a little slow as she was working by herself. The gelato was splendid, great amount of matcha flavour and not too overpowering. Would recommend the gelato!

I ended up getting a small bingsu injeolmi flavour, it's dusted with roasted soybean powder and topped with rice cakes and condense milk. It's really tasty and light. I normally eat the bingsu on site as it's much more appealing visually but taking it home is just as good! I even froze some of the leftovers to enjoy the next day and just as good (maybe not the same fluffy texture but still pretty good). Bonus the cup packaging they drew on is super cute.

As the name suggest it is beautifully presented like flower. With peach, grapefruit, fruit puree on a shaved milk ice topped with whipped cream is the best! The ice is so fine in texture and will literally melt in your mouth. The fruit balances the sweetness from the puree and the condense milk, specially the bittersweet grapefruit. Its good to eat it in as it'll melt right away if you have it as to go. Also, we tried their fruit cups (mango) with whipped cream a little sweet to me but its also good. Staff are friendly, not much people when we visited and you'll get your order quickly. Clean space inside. Plenty of parking in the plaza, but weekends get to be busy.

The coffee menu is reasonable ranging between $2.50 for espresso and $4 for cappuccino and regular latte. I popped by on a weekday afternoon and it was still busy with a couple customers ordering coffee and cannoli. The assorted pastries were airy & delicious with plenty of sweet filling. Skip it or hit it? We'll have to try more cannoli flavours next time we're back!

It's perfectly creamy and nutty in one bite. It went so well with their espresso. The price is reasonable too. The service is friendly, adding to the laid-back atmosphere.

This new location at Major MacKenzie and Dufferin is no exception. During soft opening, they had a buy one get one deal between 4pm-6pm, so this place was packed! But the staff was able to handle the additional traffic and deliver consistent flavor and quality. The interior is really nice. It's very modern, with comfortable couches and greenery. There are plenty of seats and is well set up to be a place to meet with friends. There is free wifi. There is also plenty of parking.
