We were a table for 2 in the corner by the garage door. Very nice location and not drafty at all on a cool night. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, and very personable. We ordered the burrata to start/share. The cheese portion to tomatoes/basil was imbalanced - more of each is required for the full flavour. We asked for a side of balsamic reduction (highly recommended). The freshness of the burrata was impeccable.
We then took advantage of their $19 pasta day, my partner ordering the lasagna and myself the truffle ravioli. Both were very good, my partner said the tomato sauce was a bit too sweet for his liking, but overall, he enjoyed it. My ravioli was perfect.
We decided to order a pizza to go, but of course had to try some before we left. The outer crust was done perfect and the amount of toppings was fair. It was quite soggy towards the middle (not uncooked, just too many peppers/sauce that made it wet on the thin crust, but nothing the air fryer couldn't fix for the next day.
The ambiance is probably the worst part of the dining experience. Big screen TVs playing the hockey game (albeit, on silent), and the noise that carried throughout the (not even) half filled space, took away from the overall enjoyment. We found ourselves having to talk louder than usual and wondered what it would sound like when at capacity.
With that being said, it was more authentic tasting than most "Italian" restaurants in the kw area, so I'd return again if I was craving a homemade pasta/pizza and no complaints on the service whatsoever.
