An excellent place. Antonio is an very good sommelier. Knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Highly recommended for a casual glass, or a more serious wine if you're studying and want some more of the background stories.

Italian wine is delicious, and the staff are so kind. The foods were neatly and I was satisfied with everything.

Great wine bar with tapas style food that goes perfectly with whatever drop you're having. Been here many times and it never disappoints.

Had the $25 lunch special with a girlfriend. It was beyond disappointing, it was pathetic.Service was great.Atmosphere was lovely.Wine was delicious.BUT food for two people included:4 Gruyère croquets- just delicious.Salad to share - 4 butter lettuce leaves and 7 shaved slices of radish - almost no dressing so quite dry and tasteless.Pasta to share - 1 CHILD’s size portion of spaghetti (to share) and dried hard bacon battons with very light egg/cream coating. Flavour was pleasant enough but certainly below standard for any place calling itself a restaurant.The portion size was just laughable. Was a second bowl of pasta simply forgotten?After the croquettes we were planning on returning with friends from Canada. We thought they’d love it. But after the pasta course we changed our minds about bringing anyone else here and we went to 10 William street because we were so hungry.I’ve been here many times before and always enjoyed it and encouraged others to come here too. Never again.

I've been here twice now only to be disappointed both times.This is not a cheap venue so you'd expect good service. Instead you're rudly told where to sit by someone who doesn't didn't care about us.Then we were asked if we wanted a glass of wine, it is a wine bar after all. My partner and I were undecided so the server asked if we wanted to try something. They gave my partner a taste of wine, which wasn't good. I then asked for a taste of something different only to be told no, I had to buy something. It was very off-putting since the server just offered me a taste....Wine by the glasses ranges from $13-35/glass with the need to spend at least $17 to get something good. Overpriced in my opinion.The food menu is small, some of its alright, but there was massive confusion from the staff about what food we could eat given for allergies. Thee staff each told us something different... Again, for an expensive venue this is unacceptable.The atmosphere is nice, but overall I'd say skip this place. They are sub-par and left me with a horrible impression.

Came on a Saturday night just for some wine and got some oysters. Didn’t book and luckily they have space, welcoming staff and nice date night vibes with the dim/mood lighting. Sat outside which is great on a nice night. Vast wine list and the oysters were good, I do wish it came with a lemon to squeeze on top but they were good nonetheless. It was more on the pricey side of thing but wine was delicious with Orange wine options and decent food menu.

Great wine, bad food. It’s a cute wine bar with a nice atmosphere. The wine was tasty and there is a great selection of it. The food was a huge let down and overpriced for what it was. One of the oysters that was served (pictured) was the smallest thing ever and didn’t taste great. The carrots was soaked in oil and the cracker that came with cheese was stale. I’d come back for a wine but not for the food.

Very nice venue with very friendly staff.The cocktail was good and served quickly.The chef was cooking in front of us while we were eating and I really liked the concept. Amazingly surprised by the food. I highly recommend this place.
