For Our Neighbours

Every Wednesday, we’re bringing the neighbourhood together for a delicious evening of pasta, right here in the heart of Rathdowne Village.

Additional to our standard menu, we're offering a weekly rotating pasta for $29.

It’s the perfect midweek treat; whether you're here to catch up with friends, meet new neighbours, or simply enjoy some wholesome food. We look forward to having you.
