About Us
Founder & Executive Chef
David Koonar, Owner and Executive Chef, started his journey 44 years ago when he left Canada for Florence, Italy to train at culinary school.
His training in Italy coupled with his international travels inspired his Mediterranean-fusion style cuisine. His food is prepared slowly and with care creating bold, rich tastes and textures. Come try our mouth-watering flavours that are sure to keep you coming back for more!
Special Events & Catering
Our restaurant is available for large private events: weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, business lunches, cocktail receptions, and much more. We can provide custom catering/buffets or platted meals, hotel block rates through Holiday Inn & Suites, Cloverdale, and have access to excellent DJ's through Presto Entertainment. We would love to discuss our tailored and full service options with you.
Seasonal & Local
We refuse to compromise on quality in our restaurant. That's why we source only the freshest ingredients from local farmers. Everything is made from scratch including our sauces - from the parmesan-truffle cream ravioli sauce to our renowned Caesars Hot Sauce – the perfect combination of sweet and spicy (available for purchase) made with the highest quality and natural ingredients including habanero peppers, bee honey, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, shallots, and ginger.
