Lots of vegan choices

We tried pizzas, avocado caesar, and the arancini. The sausage was really good, and so was the salad, but it wasn't quite a Caesar to me . I thought the arancini was bland but my son liked them. Overall, I would definitely go back.

Pros: So many vegan options

Cons: Kind of expensive but everything is these days

Separate plant based menu

This place is fantastic! It has a fully separate plant based menu with lots of flavourful options including dessert. The bread they give you to start can be served with vegan butter. It’s hard to find places that still do this sort of thing. The vegan lasagne is my fave. We go here monthly as my vegan kids love it too!

Pros: Full plant based menu , Flavourful Italian food , Good portion sizes

Cons: Need a couple more GF options on the vegan menu

Given real cheese instead of vegan.

We ordered the began garlic bread. Once it came it looked liek real cheese so we asked the waiter to confirm it was the vegan one. He said yes without missing a beat or looking at it or confirming with the kitchen. The cheese on it was melted and stringy. After 2 bites I can tell you it was dairy cheese. I am allergic to dairy the pain I felt later was extreme. I am outraged

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Poor service, Fed real cheese, Treated poorly for requesting vegan

Great plant-based/vegan menu!

This place has an entire plant-based/vegan menu with appetizers (try the vegan garlic bread!) & arancini, pasta dishes & pizzas! The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were pretty decent, especially for the prices. Only downside was the tiramisu, unfortunately it came still completely frozen, but they were understanding and took it back and off the bill. Great service also! A great place to go with non-vegan family for a family dinner.

A must go!

Super delicious and a go to! They have a whole vegan menu with homemade vegan cheese, homemade vegan butter, and a homemade pinto sausage that is amazing. Every time we go it’s absolutely delicious and they are pretty diligent about labeling your meals as vegan when you do pick up so you know it’s safe.

Delicious but..

This place has an entirely separate vegan menu with plenty of tasty options. I opted for the lasagna which was absolutely delicious, my only complaint is the small portion

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious

Cons: Expensive for portion size

Nice for a diverse group

I went here with two colleagues. I’d previously been to the location by Princess of Wales theatre in TO. There is a separate vegan menu with ingredient lists and good descriptions. The food is really good and satisfying. It’s not like “here’s some pasta pomodoro and a garden salad, vegan.” My colleagues also enjoyed their non-veg food.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Ingredients readily available, Food quality is superior to other Italian chains

Cons: $$

Great vegan options

Love that a restaurant chain now has a full vegan menu. I've tried the caesar salad, pizza, bruschetta, and one of the pastas. I've also tried one of the raw desserts. All were delicious, although the dessert was very small especially for the price. Also great service at this restaurant, the servers are very friendly. Also great because it's one of the only restaurants in ajax/pickering area that has vegan options

Pros: Full vegan menu, great service

Cons: Expensive

Disappointed In Dessert

I ordered takeout one night because I was craving dessert. Their vegan tiramisu really caught my eye ($8). It was very small (2 in in diameter) and a huge chunk was missing out of it. Pretty disappointed. It also didn’t taste very good.

Delicious!!

We were here last night and my hubby ordered the fettuccini and I had a specialty vegan pizza from the specials list. It had sausage and pepperoni and cheese. I was highly impressed!! They even brought out a vegan butter spread for our bread basket.

Pros: Great vegan options, Vegan options on the daily specials, Friendly staff
