Definitely met the expectations as one of the best restaurants in Victoria!
Great cozy ambiance, excellent service and amazing food!
Mussels and the Frutti de Mare was extremely fresh! And the best rack of lamb I have ever had!
Highly recommend!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 5, 20244 check-ins
I have somehow rediscovered this place, partly due to me coming to the island for work, and it has been a go-to place for me to have at least one dinner. I originally had a draft that was over 8 years ago, and I can say now I am giving this place a full 5 stars, one definitely for the food, the other is the service I get here as a single diner sitting at the bar and being served by Eric who always makes everyone sitting at the bar feel like it is a better place to be than eating at a table.
From remembering my name, to always checking in at the right time on the food, and knowing how to gauge people on what they would like to drink, this is service you do not see often, and it isn't just coming to solve dinner, it is leaving with a full stomach and leaving happy.
I have yet to have enough stomach for dessert (hopefully that will change on my next visit) but I can say the food here is fairly priced, and a the portions are good, as in there is enough food, but don't worry, if you don't finish you can pack it up, do not let this stuff go to waste.
Always at the beginning is the fresh foccacia with their house-made olive tapenade, and it's hard to resist eating it all and then getting in trouble with trying to eat your main, or your appetizers, hence the problem with getting to dessert. If you are wanting pizzas, they come out piping hot out of their oven, if you are wanting their pasta, each one has a different flare, with my latest dish being selected : Cannelloni e Capesante - roasted butternut squash and asiago cheese with seared Hokkaido scallops, and it was quite a plate.
If you are looking for a great place to eat, come here, get a taste of Italian in Victoria.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Apr 27, 2024
While in Victoria we picked this out of the way place hidden between buildings and back alleys. Decor felt very authentic and was quite popular. We were seated in a small alcove which was perfect to keeping the noise down to allow talking without effort. But the general many different shaped eating areas allowed for having a cozy feeling throughout despite the many patrons. Enjoyed great salads and different pasta and must say the bolognese recipe was the best I ever had. Looking forward to our next visit to Victoria to eat here again.

A busy evening, but seated relatively quickly. Staff were on the ball and made since delicious suggestions. Was a cozy table for two and we enjoyed our fresh, hot meals in a timely manner. A little pricier than our usual, but delicious and a decent value.

Everything was delicious and our waitress was very sweet and accommodating! Even moved us tables from where we originally sat b/c I thought it was too close to the front.
Come visit!! You won't regret it! - Tyler F.Ontario, United States02428Mar 22, 2024
By far, some do the best Italian food I have ever had. Our server was attentive, knew the menu, and had a great demeanor. Despite being in an alley, this is one of the better looking restaurants I have dined at. The flowers inside are amazing!

Truly phenomenal restaurant. One of the best meals I've had in a long time from an unassuming local neighborhood Italian joint.
Service was friendly, prompt, and efficient yet not overly intrusive. The food was just delicious. Went with a pasta bolognese and the panko crusted pork scaloppini. Couldn't get over how amazing both dishes were. The portions are massive so plan to have enough for lunch the following day.
Cesar salad was perfectly crisp and fresh with a super light dusting of dressing. Would have loved to try dessert but there was simply not enough room to fit anywhere.
The wine list far exceeds what one would expect for a local "joint" such as this. I'll Terrazzo a superb experience with a nice vibe and very upscale atmosphere. You won't be disappointed.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 7, 2023Previous reviewWhat a great restaurant! 5 stars all around. Romantic, yes!!! Good service, yes (thanks Glen)!!! Delicious food, yes!!! The fusilli Bolognese was amazing! They absolutely nailed the sofrito!!!
Pork tenderloin and cocktails and Caesar Salad were all phenomenal. Wine list is massive!!! The portions were so big we didn't have room for desert!
If in Victoria you should give this place a try. Was very pleased and will absolutely be back!!! - Jun 16, 2023
Enjoyed dinner here last night. The food and service were great.
We had a romantic table by the window, which was lovely... except for the clattering sounds coming from the kitchen, which felt really loud.
Portions are large, which our waitress warned us about... and she was great in helping us identify how much to order and still have room for dessert.
He enjoyed the osso bucco. I had the halibut, which had the most delicious vegetables with it. We shared the scallop and smoked tuna appetizer, which had more of an Asian flare and was yummy. The dessert was great - flourless chocolate cake for me, Panna cotta for him.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
