We went here on the recommendation of a very good friend. The food was superb, the wine list extensive, and the service attentive yet unobtrusive. A perfect evening, in every respect...

I've been to this restaurant several times and never been disappointed. The phenomenal food is only matched by the lovely setting and ambience and the wonderful service. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. Just fantastic food! The best Italian in Victoria.

We think this is the finest Italian spot in Vic.--It was recommended to us by a bartender in a swank Seattle restaurant so we came, saw and were conquered!--Great food, impeccable service and a wonderful setting with different type areas to choose from. You can dine al fresco because the area's tastefully covered---a must when here.
