We started with warm olives and the calamari dish. Probably the best calamari I have had in a very long time. The short rib was fantastic. The lemon pasta was fresh and just the right amount of flavour. 10/10 for presentation and flavour.

I had fresh orange juice, a cappuccino, and the avocado toast with a fried egg. The whipped ricotta added a rich, creamy layer that made it stand out, while the marinated tomatoes brought a fresh, balanced contrast that tied everything together.

We ordered Calamari & Patate, Scottadito - Lamb Lollipops and Gnocchi con Salsiccia. The food tasted delicious and flavourful. Thanks to our wonderful server Harvey for the food recommendations. We also enjoyed the Pineapple Cucumber Nojito mocktail… delicious and very refreshing.

The restaurant was beautifully appointed, the staff attentive and so professional! The food was excellent, wonderfully thoughtful and presented. The waiter was attentive and resourceful with suggestions and honesty, I could swear he was a mind reader.

The space is very comfortable inside, the drinks are consistently good, and the overall atmosphere makes it a great place to either catch up over cocktails or sit down for a really nice meal.

We have been to the owners previous restaurant called sauce on 17th Ave. So we knew this experience would be great…. It was above and beyond. Well, worth a visit with a beautiful patio and delicious food.

Went to Mille Restaurant for our Anniversary. The food was amazing the service was excellent. The restaurant interior is beautiful, reminded us of a restaurant in Paris we were at. We will be back again. Hoping to go on a Tuesday, as one of the bartenders plays the piano and sings with one of the waitresses joins. Sign up for Mille Restaurant email. It is well worth it.
