A sleek, red-curtained Neapolitan spot in Queen's Park that balances elegant neighbourhood comfort with confident Southern Italian soul food.
Ordering Strategy
Start with the Pane Cafone (bread) and the Parmigiana. Focus your main meal on the egg-free, hand-rolled pastas rather than the expensive meat mains, and absolutely save room for the doughnut.
What to order
Aubergine Parmigiana
Not your typical layered dish, this version uses "tempura eggplant" with a batter that is "light and crisp," described as a "molten, cheesy embrace."
Ziti alla Genovese
A "deeply comforting" Neapolitan staple of slow-cooked beef and onions; critics claim this savoury sauce is "worth a return trip" on its own.
Puntarelle Salad
Considered "non-negotiable" by reviewers, this salad is slicked with punchy colatura di alici for a "bitter, salty, and utterly moreish" flavor profile.
Graffa
A "light, doughnut-like delight" served with lemon custard that is simultaneously "airy and satisfyingly chewy."

Good to know
There is a small counter at the back ideal for two people. The kitchen often sends out complimentary roasted chestnuts after dessert.
