Overview

One of my favourite Italian restaurants in the city centre for convenience, great food, decor and staff.

Transport & Parking

There isn't parking outside the restaurant as it's located on the high street surrounded by shops and restaurants. We often park as close as possible in the surrounding streets or in the multi-storey carpark on Port Dundas Road, which is across from Cineworld and roughly less than 5 minutes walk from the restaurant.

Access

Access is through double glass doors, but the door is automatic by pushing the wheelchair button. There are no steps at all - level access throughout. The entrance where you wait to be seated is slightly on the small size, but manageable in my powerchair. The tables have been fine for my wheelchair to roll underneath. I either request the large round booth or one of the half-booths down the left-hand side of the restaurant. If seated in the half-booths I usually have to swing one of my footplates out to the side slightly to get as close as possible to the table.

Toilets

There is one accessible toilet upstairs and the standard toilets are downstairs - this is the reason for the low star rating. I've been to this restaurant many times now and consider it a family favourite of mine, but I feel the accessible toilet should have a RADAR key as it appears to be abused by people not necessarily needing to use it as it may not be very clear the standard toilets are downstairs. I've found myself having to wait for quite a while, while others are using it. The toilet itself is a good size with space for turning. There are grab bars on each side of the toilet and beside the sink. The emergency cord is also next to the toilet and I've hung my Euan's Guide red cord card each time I visit as it seems to be removed. There is a big mirror on the wall too which is at a good height for wheelchair users - it gives an almost full-length view - yay!

Staff

The staff, especially Madga (waitress) are great - very friendly and makes us feel very welcome.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice restaurant and great Italian food in the city centre. There are so many options on the menu as well as a gluten-free and vegan menu which is what we go for. Never disappointed with the food.
