Booked as a party of seven for the twentieth of february. Told we would be served family style for such a number with the chef determining the courses. Cost for the food would be $50 per person. Turned out to be a great decision to go with that. The food came Italian style, salad, antipasto, pasta, fish course and meat course. Dessert was an optional extra. The food was excellent, an interesting twist on a caesar salad with grilled anchovies, along with a tomato and bocconcini salad to die for. The antipasti was a broad selection including the duck prosciutto, the pastas were three of their top menu items, including the pumpkin ravioli they do so well. Petrale sole in the Florentine style and finally the meat selection, osso buco, florentine beef and saltimbocca. Everybody from my ageing and ageless mother in law to my sophisticated world traveller nephew was well satisfied. We couldn't manage dessert---well one order for us all to taste. All washed down with some excellent BC wine. Total bill just over 700 dollars with generous tip. Oh, the service was impeccable. Appropriate replenishment of wineglasses and immediate replacement of cutlery that I clumsily knocked on the floor on top of excellent overall attention to detail.
