Review from Lydia L.

Food delicious - service slow.
We met friends here for lunch & ordered from the lunch menu which included an appetizer and main course along with tea or coffee.
We arrived at noon on a Friday and were the first ones at the restaurant. We sat by the open window which was lovely on a sunny day. The restaurant was about 70% full by 1 P.M.
Everyone enjoyed their food. I ordered the Nicola Special Pasta. The chicken was very tender. The bruschetta was good, traditional. My husband had the talapia which was also good. My friend enjoyed her lasagna which was drenched in extra sauce.
I split a tiramisu for dessert. It was light and moist; one of the best I've had.
The washrooms were clean but located downstairs for those who have mobility issues.
We were very pleased with the food. There was only one server so service was slow. Lunch took us about 2 hours. The server was very accommodating and came outside to take our picture in front. -

I met up with my mom here the other night to celebrate her birthday. She loves Italian food and therefore picked Sempres as she insisted that they serve up the Best Gnocchi Ever.
Its a cute cozy kind of place with lots of photos and memorabilia on the walls and also some funky looking murals of grape vines painted everywhere. the servers all wear the tradtitional white shirt and black tie garb. Our waitress was very nice and wished mom a very happy birthday.
While the eats here aren't exactly bad, they aren't really that great either. I did go for the gnocchi and I was a little suprised as the serving size seemed slightly small for the price. It was just good, nothing too exceptional and I found the marinara sauce a tad to salty.
Overall, meh, totally vanilla.Listed in: 1 Review A Day For Every Day…

I and a couple friends came here attempting to eat dinner. When we got there we waited at the front entrance waiting to be seated (there were at least 5 empty tables at the time). After 10 minutes, a waitress acknowledged us and said that we would have to wait 5 minutes or so. It was like being in that Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine are in the Chinese restaurant and are told to wait "5-10 minutes".
Another 15 minutes passes, and the wait staff pretend not to see us waving to them. Meanwhile, there is a large party behind us forming, and still no reaction from the wait staff. Frustrated, we went off to another restaurant down the street, which ended up being much friendlier.
So not necessary, especially for a restaurant that received only a conditional pass from the municipal government for cleanliness! Eesh! Unfortunately, no review of the food, but I do not think I will be returning. -

A great neighbourhood restaurant - fantastic food, great service and just an overall lovely experience each and every time.
The pasta (and I've tried almost all of them) is some of the best in the city...and the great thing is if you don't like the main sauce of the dish - they'll change it for you to one of the others available on the menu (i.e. dying for some linguini but prefer a rose sauce to an alfredo - then go for it!) The pizzas are tasty too...but I admit I've only had them once or twice in the many times I've been there.
The waiters are always attentive and there isn't huge staff turnover so often you get to know the people there - again, the perfect neighbourhood restaurant.
It can get quite busy for dinner during the nicer weather and on weekends throughout the year...but the wait never seems to be very long. Highly recommended! -

So I loved this place. I have had several dishes,and have never been let down with the quality of food, or amazing service.
I ALWAY start with the fried calamari....BEST IN THE CITY.
I usually get the veal Parmigiano or greek pizza or Gnocchi.. actually my favorite is the spinach Gnocchi. Be sure to save bread to soppe up all the sauce!
The Tiramisu is the best I have ever had, it is made in house by a Nonna!
I have ordered the Lasagna for parties, or for dinner for my family. Great prices and again made by a Nonna!!!
I am sure you will love this place as much as I do, and if you dont well you didi try the calamari!!!!! -

I have dined here a few times, and have never been disappointed! The first time I went with my boyfriend, and then we brought our friends the next two times.. everybody loved it!
My favorite dish has got to be Amroe Giselle. For those of you who like whole wheat pasta.. this is defiantly this dish to get!
My boyfriend's favorite is defiantly the pizza! Thin crust, cooked perfectly, and great suggestions for pizzas as-well as the option to build you own! I have tasted the pizza and I must say it is THE best I have ever had.
Concept is great! Open kitchen, which is a great treat to watch the chefs hard at work. Atmosphere is great and friendly!
Although I have not brought any kids with me, I have seen a few kids there who seemed to be enjoying themselves. The menu is kid friendly as well as the restaurant!
To end off the night it is a MUST to order to tiramisu. You might be full but do not pass it up! It is sooooo goood!
Overall a great experience, defiantly recommend this place!!!
