What to Order
Calamari
Tender calamari served with a rich tomato sauce and olives, elevating a classic appetizer to a new level.

Alison Knott
Caesar Salad
A perfectly prepared Caesar salad, noted for its ideal texture and classic flavors.
"We had the perfectly crusty on the outside soft on the inside bread (which is from LF bakery), the perfect Caesar salad, the wildly delicious calamari (must try), and the equally delicious tagliatelle and carbonara for our mains."
Glenn McIsaac
