What critics are saying about us
Stopped for a post-ski pasta and wine on Sunday. Was excellent. Wish we checked that dinner was only Friday-Saturday so we could order off the full menu. Will have to come back!

My wife and I have eaten here a number of times and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I went through a long stretch of ordering the Capicola sandwich to-go every week. The sandwich was just... marvelous; I really hope they bring it back sometime soon! Chef Richard is one of a kind.-Capicola guyread more

Do yourself a favour and give this place a try!!This hidden gem of a restaurant has been on my list to eat at for the last 2 years. I live in Vancouver and am an extremely picky eater.My fiancé... and I spontaneously ate here during Sunday brunch. I could not inhale my food fast enough. Everything about this meal was just perfect. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the hollandaise did not have any citrus flavour, the lasagna funghi was not heavy or greasy! The flavours were amazing!! I only wish that my stomach had a larger capacity!!Although they describe their food as country style cooking, this is so much better than that. They use high-quality ingredients, and the food reflects it. Unlike many other Italian restaurants these days, they don’t rely on salt, oil, cream, butter, grease, and cheese to make their food tasty.I cannot wait to return over and over again to try each menu item!What a great team! Candace (sp?) is so friendly and welcoming - she really want to get to know you as a person and might I even dare say as a friend…? Richard delivers the final blow with food that keeps you coming back. I cannot remember the name of our young waitress but she was extremely friendly and attentive. Such a great experience!!read more

Outstanding food. The tomato sauce is truly homemade. The food is served hot, to your table. The lasagna is the best I've had. The spaghetti and meatballs is wonderful - the meatballs are large and... excellent. Do yourself a favour/favor.read more

We had dinner here as part of a wedding celebration. The food was outstanding, as well as the service and atmosphere. The owner was so warm and welcoming and spent time talking with us. We would... highly recommend this restaurant and was worth the long drive to get here.read more

Delicious sandwich, but too much CO2 in the atmosphere.

What a wonderful meal we had to celebrate our wedding! We picked up an order for 25 people and we were all blown away by how delicious the food was! Richard and Candice were great to work with to... give a meal that would work for all our guests. We had dietary restrictions that were deliciously accommodated. The wild mushroom lasagna was hands down the best lasagna we’ve ever had, not to mention the penne and meatballs, sautéed vegetables, and chocolate tiramisu were all wonderful as well. I look forward to eating with them again!read more

What a hidden gem. We stumbled upon this lovely spot on our way up to nooksach falls. It was the perfect place for a sleepy Sunday brunch.We shared potato soup, bread, and sausage pasta. Everything... and I mean everything was absolutely delicious!The place is so cute and cozy on the inside. We will 100% be back for dinner.Very rarely am I impressed with a place but this place is the ticket. Everything was simple, elegant, and perfectly seasoned.read more

You owe it to yourself to eat here at least once in your life, although given the quality and the prices you should probably visit a few times.This is the best red sauce I have ever had. It was... complex - I tasted everything - and I can’t think of another time where I could taste every ingredient in a red sauce. I have been to Italy, I have been to Michelin restaurants, etc., etc. - this is the winner.I said I would be back to try everything on the menu and I meant it.read more
