    Fancy Italian business lunch?  Yes please.  Probably once a year we all pack up shop and go here courtesy of the boss.  Wait staff that have been there for years...and years.  That says something about a business that they are able to keep staff happy for so long. Family building!  They also have been kepping customers happy for years and years and years.

    Go there.  Ask them whats good and you'll see how much they truly appreciate what they are doing, which is serving you some delicious food, and they are not just rhyming off some list of specials.   What they are recommending is something they truly believe you will enjoy, as they do.

    It will soon be time for our Christmas lunch.  As always I will have more difficulty selecting my meal than I did in choosing names for my children.   I cannot wait.

    I've been here on multiple occasions. The food has always been good, but the service has been inconsistent.

    I mostly come here for big family dinners. They accept Entertainment coupons, which is a big bonus.  This time I had the ravioli with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes in a sherry sauce.  Wow, it was tasty.  The sauce was so smooth and creamy, and the mushrooms gave it such a deep flavour.  The pasta was cooked al dente, and it was just as good the second day!

    If you decide to try it out, the linguini with smoked salmon in a cream sauce is also good.  However, I would say they have one of the best tomato cream sauces around.

    My entertainment book, and the fact that my stomach was feeling for abit of Italian and this is nice and close as I did not want to travel too far. Nestled right on the border of Vancouver/Burnaby, this little restaurant was busy on the night we went.

    A pretty big menu for this small little place. They serve homemade pasta and sauces. Very rich cream sauces from when I went. A good sized portion that I could not finish. Not too big, and not too small. The area inside is really small though, and they definately put enough tables in the joint. The lighting is pretty dim too, as it has that rustic feel in this place.

    It is middle of the road in terms of quality and price, but be prepared to drop a little more money for the appetizers, desserts and drinks.

    Stepping over the line into Burnaby, this classy restaurant is owned and operated by the chef, a good indication of the pride and effort put into the food as well as the ambiance.

    Overall Italian, they serve great homemade pasta with gourmet options, including the rare but underrated risotto. If you're foolish enough to mix up ethics with eating, you might not enjoy the veal, but it is succulent and perfect with the brown mushroom sauce.

    Prices range anywhere between $15-$30 for an entrée, depending on whether you want penne or a 10 once pepper steak. Be prepared to drop a little extra on the tiramisu as well, rich lady fingers doused in espresso and whipped cream, some of the best in the city.
