Their pasta is so bad... Considering it's 90% of their menu, that is pretty sad. The pasta was overcooked and very bland. It... just tasted like nothing. I didn't like the tomato sauce, it was sour, they didn't balance the taste properly. Portobellomushroom sauce was better, but it was the only nice things about their mushroom penne - the pasta and chicken were bland and nottasty at all. The raviole were all stuck together and tasted like the cheapest frozen raviole from the grocery store. I didn'tlike the proportion of the meat to the dough. It was just tasteless pasta dough, that's all I could taste in thatdish. Tortellini were also bad. Again, the proportion of meat to pasta was off. I couldn't make myself to eat them. Gnocchiwere eatable. They weren't great, but compared to the horrible tastes of other pasta varieties, they were at least eatable. Idon't know how you can have an Italian restaurant and not be able to cook a tasty pasta?... The portions are huge. Greek saladwas nice, though there were barely any tomatoes in it (they are cut very thinly and there's a little of them only). It also hasa very different dressing, not the kind you'd usually put on Greek salad. But it tasted ok. Ceaser salad dressing tasted off,but overall the salad was also good. Cheesecakes were really good. They should just do desserts instead of pasta, that was thehighlight of the meal. Read more

Came here to treat the rest of the employees as we were in town for a project. Expected this place to be amazing due to the... reviews. I would say that the ambiance and staff were great. Staff was helpful and patient on our order. The rating is solely onthe good quality. Firstly, we ordered the Greek salad and it had a balsamic vinaigrette like dressing which is not what weexpected when ordering a Greek sald. Two of us ordered a rib special with tiger shrimp. The ribs were sliced in bbq and a littletoo stringy and soft like Swiss chalet quality. Also the tiger shrimp was said to be grilled which it definitely was not as wellas not the size it should be for tiger shrimp (this was much smaller). The side pasta puttanesca was the best part however itneeded more pasta in compared to the sauce. My coworker that ordered the veal said his was a little dry and not cooked to thelevel that he asked for. I understand I?m a town like Sault Ste Marie if there is not much competition an establishment likethis can strive and clearly it has. However it should attempt to do a bit better and make it more authentic. Read more

Amazing! That?s all I can say about this lovely Italian eatery we found in Sault Ste Marie! The bruschetta was really, really... good (I despise tomatoes)! Incredibly large portions of food reasonably priced. Read more

I like this Resturant. Waitress is friendly and attentive. Foods are amazing. Escargot and mussels are perfect appetizers.... Mushroom Risotto and fettuccine could be better, but overall is good. Read more
