    Tiny cannelloni and soup.
    Jennifer G.

    I believe this is the first restaurant out of 90 reviews I've given a one star, and many factors were taken into consideration. I went with a group of friends for lunch, and we were all unimpressed. I had the canneloni + soup lunch special. The cannelloni was quite good, but the smallest portion I've ever seen. There were exactly two pasta shells. The soup was the saddest representation of the dish I've ever witnessed. It was described as a chickpea, potatoes, rosemary mix. Instead, it was a cup of salt water with half a spoonful each of mashed chickpeas and diced potatoes. Someone else had a pasta dish, and found a 12cm diameter plastic lid in the bottom of his plate. We imagine it is because the restaurant does not make the dishes fresh, and instead throws a proportioned out amount from a plastic container into the plate to serve. Our waiter apologized, of course, but there was no way the dish could be finished. The pizza was thin with burnt edges, and yet had a very soggy crust, wetter as you move into the centre. I really wanted to like this place, based on the numerous Google reviews. Needless to say, we will sadly not be back.

    A bit pricey but the food was absolutely amazing! The pizzas were great and the tiramisu is one of the best that I've had so far!

    Quite expensive, but has pretty good pizzas. Personally liked the Apollo and the shrimp spaghetti I ordered tasted great. Pizzas are large enough to fulfill one person comfortably. Pastas are in smaller sized portions. I think the consensus amongst my peers was that pizzas are the best here. Nice place for a lunch chat but personally wouldn't come again since it's a bit expensive for me (typically around $17-$22 for pizzas and pastas I think) and I'm not that attached to pizzas in general.

    Our 1st day as residents of downtown Kitchener and we stopped here for our inaugural dining experience. Glad to see the patio was so busy! Drea our server was attentive, personable and very knowledgeable about the menu. She didn't hesitate to make a special request of the chef knowing he'd accommodate. Calamari was very good, would suggest a garlic aioli as an accomanpanment rather than a tomato based one. Our meals were excellent, Paesana Pizza and Veal Parmigiana, wonderful flavours. I highly recommend this place, and thank you Drea for a wonderful dining experience!
