Casual atmosphere, great Italian food, hot stone pizza oven cooked to order, family owned, bar is situated alone away from diner's. Family oriented, great for large parties. Staff are very accommodating. Nicely decorated with Italian scenery & painted jug's. Two separated dining room's. Wheelchair access. Outdoor patio is open in summer months. Free parking after 5:00pm on weekdays. Enjoy!

Called and asked for reservations for 6-8 people, was told they don't take reservations, but at 6pm they shouldn't be too busy. Showed up, and was told they couldn't sit 8 people because of too many RESERVATIONS. On this news 3 people decided to bail. Was then told they couldn't sit 5 people because of reservations. Asked to speak to a manager to at least voice my anger. Waited 10 minutes in the lobby and then thought this review would be easier then little the restaurant explain themselves. It's a shame because their food was pretty good.

This place was great! We were seated immediately at a clean table against the wall, & our waitress had been there since they opened! Food was delicious, drinks were good. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that our appetizer (some kind of delicious rice ball things) were ice cold in the center, & there's not a lot of privacy no matter where you're seated. Other than that, everything was fantastic!

At first I was very spectacle to come here because downtown Oshawa is known for being quite "trashy". However, I was absolutely blown away by the customer service and high quality establishment at this location. I absolutely recommend this to anyone I know, I have never written a review online in my life however, I felt the need to express how great this place is so others don't assume the same bias. Personally, I have never had food brought to me this fast in a restaurant. Definitely the best pizza I have ever had. Cons: sort of pricey, around 20 dollars for a small pizza. The quality really shows its worth in price though. 10/10

Was very surprised by how delicious the pasta was here. Nice atmosphere, pretty cute spot for a date or get together. Server could've been a lot friendlier though.
