Been there twice recently. The food is fabulous. First time was the swordfish. Second time was chicken Madeira. Both were simply amazing. The prices are great, too. They serve nice bread with the meals.

Good service Food is great Amazing place. Mostly quiet. I would come again! Pear salad is good

I've been eating here for years. This is one of my favorite restaurants ever the staff the cooks the chefs are unbeatable. Although there are many wonderful dishes like the sole risotto is fabulous. My main go to are spaghetti Bolognese And spaghetti carbonara.

Great service friendly staff. Food was excellent!! The seafood is amazing. If I live closer this would be my go to place for Italian food and seafood.

Love their food and cocktails! They serve a complimentary bread to start, which is always a delight. You get it with olive oil and balsamic or butter - your choice. Bread comes out hot! Wine selection is nice and so are their selection of cocktails. We usually order a pizza to share and it never disappoints. Their service is quick, friendly and really reliable. The ambiance is cosy. It can be pretty quiet or totally packed depending on when you come (very busy during dinner rush hour). Conveniently located next to the Safeway on Hamilton. Overall great family friendly restaurant. Go check it out!

I had been here many years ago, but just came back for a birthday dinner. They do not take reservations if under 6 people, but we were going on a Monday night, so thought it would likely be easy to get a table, and it was. They had cute large ornaments hanging from the ceiling with ribbon, and Christmas lights up to give the restaurant a festive atmosphere for Christmas. There was a line to get a table, which took a little while for some reason. Many tables for 2 are in a line, which I do not like. Then you feel like you are eating with the table next to you. We were able to get a table for 4 in the front, which worked out fine. We were starving. The table that was seated just before us had drinks, bread and a salad, and we were waiting quite a while for our bread, and only had water. So, some of the service up front could have been better, but once we got our food, it was delicious! I had the Sole Picatta, which was buttery soft, and melted in your mouth. It has a caper lemon beurre Blanc sauce & creamy parmesan risotto. Because I had eaten little all day, I was very hungry, and could have used a side of vegetables or something to fill me up more, as the risotto & sole were down the center of the plate with nothing else. It is a good enough portion if you like a light meal. I ate more of the bread, once we got it, to fill up. But my dish was delicious! My friend got the Warm Rigatoni & Spinach Salad. It was full of flavor & definitely something to try! It contains rigatoni, spinach, bacon, red pepper, onion, garlic, olive oil, gorgonzola cheese, & walnuts. It may not stand out on the menu, but definitely a great choice! Especially if you love bacon! The restaurant is in a strip mall with plenty of parking, near Dry Creek Grill. For a Monday night, it was fairly full. It looks like it is a local community hang-out, and you don't hear people talking about it much, but I think it deserves some notoriety for it's unique dishes full of flavor, and someplace different. It is also conveniently open 7 days a week, which is nice when celebrating an event on a Monday night, when many nice restaurants are closed.

Went in Sunday 5:30 and they were able to accommodate our party of 12. Ordered the Fettuccine Chicken Tequila, as was recommended by our server and asked for it to be made less spicy. It came out perfect! It was quite tasty with just a slight kick to it. Everyone at our table seemed to like what they ordered. Even tasted the pear salad and two desserts - tiramisu and an apple bread pudding served with a scoop of ice cream. All were very good as well. Service was excellent. As we left, it was pretty much a full house. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

It was a dark and stormy Valentine's night and the two of us wanted to enjoy an Italian dinner. With no reservation, we decided to try Tomato Time just in case they could squeeze us in. The manager, Tod, was able to seat us at a very nice table and we loved our salad, lasagna and angle hair pasta meals. Michelle was our server and we really appreciated her kindness. We also liked the entrance area with heaters and seats. So we hope to return again soon.
