Good pasta and big portions

The pasta were good and had unique options, portions are generous, we ordered the truffle fries and I’ve never seen so many fries. The service was great too, they give good recommendation and they ask at first if people are vegan or vegetarian.
I recommend booking in advance because it can get busy!

Pros: Good portions, Unique options, Great service

Cons: A bit loud if it’s crowded

A really terrible experience

We reserved a table and came for a birthday dinner.The Cantina was noisy and over crowded. We were placed at a ‘vintage table’ with uncomfortable low old parlour chairs. Service was very slow, in fact there wasn’t any.
In our seventies, my husband was too uncomfortable to eat dinner in an unsuitable chair. We flagged a passing waiter to request one of the available dining chairs for him. He then flagged a waitress to handle our request. This unfriendly waitress- Jane, approached to let us know that we could not have a normal dining chair due to owners rules. This was repeated several times in a robotic fashion while we pointed out available chairs. Needless to say, things deteriorated. Jane re-appeared to let us know we would not be served! There was no one to mediate the issue since owners were not present. We left the restaurant.
The owners support the actions of the waitress. They then put a $50.00 charge on our credit card as not showing up for our reservation.
I would suggest avoiding this establishment.

A must try! My new favourite Italian restaurant

10/10, this place is amazing! Everything we tried was heavenly. My top picks are the eggplant sliders, ravioli, and apple fritters. The lavender lemonade was also delicious.

Ambience was very pleasant. Would totally be great for a date night.
Family run business with attentive and friendly service.

I’ll definitely be back!

My new favourite place ever

I would die to have this place near me! The eggplant sliders were incredible. We did the summerlicious menu and got an app, main and dessert for $35. Would highly highly recommend!

Pros: Price, Flavour

The best vegan Italian

This mostly vegan restaurant was the best Italian I've been too since being plant based. The family run business was everything you want in a restaurant; great food, ambiance and a relaxed, knowledgeable staff who gave great recommendations. The cocktails here were great and the food even better. Had the oyster mushroom calamari, lasagna and tried 3 desserts between the table; the tirimisu, pistachio and lemon cake and apple fritters. My friends had the lighted fried artichoke starter and the mushroom rigatoni and casarecce Nero mains and loved them too. The service was slick too, food came and went quickly which I like.

Wonderful menu & team

Waitstaff were super friendly and had great suggestions - especially the Carciofi Fritti (battered artichokes).

Pros: Excellent prix fixe options, Knowledgable & friendly, fast team, Very affordable for its caliber

Cons: Would have liked more vegan options for pasta

Highly Recommend!

Easily one of the best plant based restaurants in the city!!! We drove from an hour on a drizzling, foggy night and it was 100% worth it! The cozy intimate setting (we sat upstairs) and delightful staff welcome you in and the incredible food and service will keep you coming back! Our group was a mix of vegan & omnivore and we were all delighted with our meals. Omnivores would never know they are eating vegan/vegetarian, it is just simply AMAZING food! We started by sharing the eggplant sliders, we all wanted more, so good! We also had the calzone (best ever!), and two incredible ravioli dishes. Good wine, cocktail and mocktail selection. We loved everything about our experience and will definitely be making the drive again soon!

A Must Try for Vegan Italian Food!

If you weren’t told it was all vegan, you wouldn’t know! Everything was prepared so well and the flavours of the dishes we had were just excellent. From the plant ball sliders to the cesar salad and the lasagna and ravioli and thin crust Neapolitan style pizzas… just amazing! #Veganuary

Pros: Food flavour and options, Ambiance / Service, Price point

Happy to see plant based Italian but..:

We had a corporate dinner here recently with 2 vegans and 6 non vegans and I was thrilled they had chosen it! It wasn’t my personal favourite as I don’t love italian food and felt pasta wasn’t super and most appies were just ok. Also it’s pricey but portions are generous. I personally was underwhelmed but most ppl
in the group liked it.

Updated from previous review on 2023-12-31

Pros: Plant based “upscale”, Fun cocktails, Good dessert

Cons: Pasta was unimpressive, Vegan cheese on appies, Small venue

Delicious, fresh Italian

I've been here several times for lunch and dinner. Excellent and friendly service paired with delicious and simple dishes using fresh ingredients. I've mostly had the pastas since that's what I gravitate towards, but the apps and salads are also very good.

More people should know about this place!

I went here for dinner with a non-vegan and we were both blown away by the pasta dishes. The portions are huge so it feels well worth the price. Honestly better than a certain more expensive veg pasta restaurant in the city with a quiet vibe inside (although because of the neighbourhood expect that there will be some children there, which is good if you’re looking for a family friendly place). Will be back for sure! I’ve also ordered takeout pizza from them and they gave us hummus on the house. Was very delicious but a lot of balsamic on the pizza. Good wine list, too.

Pros: Portion sizes, Flavours , Stuffed vegan ravioli

Cons: Restaurant space was a bit noisy

Great Food, Great People!

Fantastic vegan options!
We had the pizza crisps and they were out of this world! We ended up ordering 2 additional orders of it!

The lemon pesto pasta was excellent, so was the meatballs pasta. The Tiramisu was excellent too!

Such great food and great experience with the staff! Love it!
