One of the worst restaurants on College St.
This dining experience was one of the worst I’ve ever had. The server was clueless. The “complimentary” focaccia was charred at the bottom and inedible. The bruschetta was tasteless and the bread was stale. My Veal Masala was cooked to cardboard consistency and covered in a salty sauce of slimy mushrooms. My husband's seafood pasta stunk of old fish forgotten long ago. The wine selection was laughable. And the washrooms were filthy. We wasn’t expecting fine dining at it’s height, but we were expecting a meal at least slightly pleasing to the palette. We were just dumbfounded at the entire experience. The owner needs a reality check. Why bother running a restaurant if you have no passion and are not proud of what you serve.

GET OUUUUTTT!!!!!!!!
This has to be the worst restaurant I've EVER been too! The food was pig slop and the service was deplorable. A number of online reviews touted this as the "best authentic italian in the city". A group of us decided to give it a try...a decision we lived to regret!! The pizza's were simple and burnt, the rissoto was completely tasteless and the pasta was definitely inspired by chef boyardi (i.e. the out of a can). To top it off, when we complained about the food, a very angry lady (who I assume is Giovanna) told us "I don't what your kind in my restaurant...pay your bill and GEET OOOUTT". I felt embarassed for the waiter who appeared to be her son....I imagine that the poor guy is tired of apologizing for the quality of this ****ty restaurant. Never again!!
