What to Order
Whipped Ricotta on Sourdough (Ricotta Montata)
A standout appetizer featuring creamy whipped ricotta paired with apricot preserve on perfectly toasted sourdough.
"The recommended ricotta montata was my favourite of the evening. So much that I will return to have it again! The pairing of the ricotta and apricot preserve on sourdough toast just fit so well and the presentation, though simple, made the antipasti unique."

Calamari & Patate
Crispy calamari served with potatoes, praised for its excellent preparation and flavor.
"We started with warm olives and the calamari dish. Probably the best calamari I have had in a very long time."
Candice Gamez
Brasato Di Manzo (Braised Beef Short Rib)
Tender, melt-in-your-mouth braised beef short rib served with red wine jus, smoked provolone polenta, and roasted carrots.
"I had the Brasato Di Manzo (Braised Beef Short Rib, Red Wine Jus, Smoked Provolone Polenta, Roasted Carrots) It was perfect, the meat was melt in your mouth, so tender and the flavours."
Jim Heaton
Gnocchi con Salsiccia
A flavorful pasta dish featuring soft gnocchi paired with sausage, noted for its delicious and authentic taste.
"We devoured Boscaiola Rigatoni, Gnocchi con Salsiccia, bruschetta, and Carpaccio di Manzo — everything hit."
Aman Sandhu
Scottadito - Lamb Lollipops
Delicious and well-prepared lamb lollipops, often served with complementary vegetables.
"The lamb lollypops were delicious as were the vegetables that they were served with."
Saul Pytka
Delizia al Limone
An exquisite vanilla sponge cake with lemon basil custard, known for its beautiful presentation and delightful taste.
"Another item that left a very memorable mark was the Delizia Al Limone (lemon dessert) which is shaped just like a lemon. The craft behind this dessert is comparable to some of the fine-dining desserts I have had overseas- certainly a surprise to know a talented dessert chef also exists in Calgary!"
S K
Smoked Bourbon Hot Chocolate
A unique and creative hot chocolate offering, praised for its quality and presentation, especially during the YYC Hot Chocolate festival.
"I've never had a smoked bourbon hot chocolate before and it was a quality drink and creative. Great for a cold day. The restaurant itself looks like a great place to have a celebration meal."
