  The food was good, just how we were treated was poor. My girlfriend loves Italian food so I brought her here after a long day hiking in the mountains. The lasagna was very tasty. However, halfway through my girlfriend eating the pasta trout special of the day she pulls a trout bone, as long as your ring finger nail, out of her mouth. Being a fisherman I catch and fillet a lot of trout and know how dangerous of a choking hazard this can be. My girlfriend puts the bone off to the side and we later show the server, she responds by telling the kitchen of the finding...now I am forced to watch my girlfriend nervously look through the entire dish for bones. We're tired and hungry, we just climbed a mountain in Banff and if she had just mowed down her food, like I did, she would have choked. What if she choked and got this bone caught in her throat? Not only did the server not replace the dish, but not a single penny was discounted off our bill. I am not one to ask, and neither is my girlfriend. We don't care about a discount or even a free meal, but it's about the principle of saying we're sorry and we know how dangerous this could have been for you and our business. Sadly, the server failed to recognize this. This really ruined our evening, and we kept talking about how, a few months ago, the Keg cooked my prime rib to cardboard, but the server spotted it as I ate the steak, quickly grabbed the dish from me and replaced it with a fresh prime rib and gave us the calimari for free. I will definitely be back to the Keg! Scopa, however, I will not.

  Great food and reasonably priced, this is one of our favourite neighborhood places. Ambience is a bit spare but nice, staff is always friendly and attentive. The patio is great in the summer if you don't mind a bit of background traffic noise since it's right on centre Street. But it's a slow section & there's a good sound barrier, lots of hanging plants.

  Great service. Food was amazing. Definitely would go here again. Price is decent for Italian food. I did however find it a little chilly inside & my ceaser salad had a strong pickle taste.. But other than that,. I recommend this place.

  What a fantastic restaurant in the 'Little Italy' neighbourhood. Fantastic food and great liquor selection. Check out the weekday specials and be sure to try out the chef's selection if you want a surprise. The portions here are much larger than one would expect and are well priced. We will be back!

  A great place to go for a date night. My wife made reservations because she heard good things. They were all true. The food is incredible and priced fairly. The alcohol is priced a little high, but I can't blame them. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is attentive and accommodating. You'll be glad you went with friends or family
