Country-house-elegant decor sets a romantic tone at this Victorian house on the edge of trendy Yaletown, home to one of Vancouver's most established Italian restaurants. The contemporary menu takes its inspiration from various regions of Italy. Lamb osso buco in a sauce of tomatoes, red wine, cinnamon, and lemon and sea-bass fillet roasted with white vermouth and herb butter and served with Manilla clams are favorites here. The restaurant serves lunch only to groups of 10 or more.
