The service was slow, coffee was ok (nothing great ) and the food was also alright only, nothing good. It was not worth the money and the service.

We had to wait more than 30 mins for the server to take our order. The fries were really good but the spicy rigatoni was mid. The drinks were not that bad either. Garlic bread was a 4/10. Overall bad experience. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

We came here for winterlicious and it was a great choice!! Absolutely worth the price we paid $27 per person for lunch. Definitely looking forward to summerlicious! I would definitely come back here for the rigatoni ala vodka pasta! Good spot, great vibe, amazing customer service and steal deal for the price.

I don’t recommend this place. When you walk in it was not welcoming at all since no one acknowledged us. The glass and tap water smelled very unpleasant (like fish tank), the food was very mediocre. The worse part was the service, we were very rushed because the server would come to us every 5 minutes to check if we are done and we want anything else, I just wanted to enjoy some food and chat in peace. I would never go again because it felt like they just wanted us gone. Very disappointed cus instead of enjoying my time I was stressed out.

Real Reviews
A decent restaurant and experience, but I think there is room for improvement. I ordered the smoked salmon dish and it just wasn’t filling enough + everything was cold. I get the concept of that dish is all cold cuts/foods, but it wasn’t appetizing at all. Plus they provide a big portion of parsley/cilantro that can easily be turned into a salad instead and would’ve increased the quality of the dish. The ricotta dip was very mediocre too, not much flavour besides the olives or capers added on top. Also, our table was sat way too close to another table, to the point I couldn’t enjoy my brunch experience because the people beside me were speaking way too loud. I get Toronto restaurants prioritize more seatings, thus closer tables, but this place seemed to have A LOT of open space available. It is not a small restaurant. I would suggest moving the tables even a bit further apart so everyone gets their own privacy. Their Apple pie latte was good however and the service was nice.

I think this is one of the worst restaurants I’ve been to in Canada.
Last week, I went there with a friend who suggested we try it out. We ordered sea bream, Ziti, almond risotto, chicken Milanese, and lasagna.
The sea bream wasn’t crispy on the outside, and the inside was overly dry and unpleasantly heavy. The chicken Milanese had a near-burnt crust and was excessively dry.
I’m someone who generally enjoys rich and creamy dishes, but the ziti was just salty with no flavor absorbed into the pasta. On top of that, the pasta was severely overcooked and bloated.
As for the lasagna, it was mediocre at best, with a sauce that wasn’t particularly flavorful.
Finally, the risotto. It was by far the worst risotto I’ve ever had. It was far too thick and dry, with the texture feeling overly reduced. The flavors didn’t come together at all, and all I could taste was cheese—it lacked balance entirely.
My friends didn’t seem impressed either.
I usually tip even when I’m not fully satisfied, but this time, I honestly didn’t feel like leaving anything.
Ordered the Chicken Milanese - wish there was sauce with the cutlet. The rigatoni was al dente and the best dish we ordered. Had the cannoli for dessert. They have put a lot of care into the decor.

Ate around 4 after an event nearby. Had the brussel sprout salad - delicious flavour & textures, loved it. The panzerotto 'happy hour' version does not have spicy sorpresseta, which wld order instead (from full menu). The outside was thin & crispy, very good. I thought the 'greens' meant they were inside (oops) but the lovely salad on the side was good to finish. Wine reco was great as was the service. Look forward to another visit to try more!

The service here is getting worse and worse and unfortunately this will be my last visit. I came in with a friend for a reservation and upon entering the restaurant, a tall male server asked if we made a reservation and couldn’t find my name. He then saw the first desi/brown name (I am brown and have an Arabic name) and asked me if that’s my reservation. This seemed like a micro aggression towards me just because of my skin colour and instead of looking my name up (which I mentioned 4 times), he assumed that I would have that name. Next, we were served by the bartender who treated everyone around us with friendliness and kindness (both tables were white passing) and when it came to us, he was quick to leave, uninterested and did not get my order right. He also did not ask about any allergies we might have but he asked every other table. Due to his demeanour, I was uncomfortable with sending my plate back and stuck to my incorrect order. I also ordered chocolate gelato which the server assured me was available but when it came time to have dessert, lo and behold there was no chocolate gelato. I ended up getting the tiramisu gelato after a nonexistent description of the taste. I’m not sure what’s happening with the quickly declining service but I will not be coming here again or recommending this restaurant.

I’ve been there about three times now. There’s this one waiter (male) who has been quite weird everytime we go. He rushes or gives weird looks. This time we got Sam I think? The one that is behind the bar. It seems like he had something against us because he treated the tables around nicely but was acting very strange with us. I’ll even go to say that it’s probably because we were people of colour and not white passing (like the tables around us). He was making conversation with the tables around us and being all friendly and even offered the table a complimentary wine! With us, he was quick to leave. He seemed very uninterested and didn’t help with the menu at all, even though we were having trouble picking a flavour for our ice cream. He randomly came up to us asking if anything was wrong and falsely assumed something was wrong when everything was okay. He looked annoyed most of the time even though we did absolutely nothing. If you’ve never seen a brown person I don’t know what to tell you. It was such a weird experience. The food was so mediocre and seemed like this restaurant is being greedy and stingy this year with the winterlicious menu. Don’t come here if you’re any other race than white if you want to be treated weirdly. This restaurant really needs to get better servers.

This is a cute little spot with great food. Definitely more of a cafe vibe to do work or for a quick meet with some friends.
Came here for brunch and they had a short and simple menu but still enough variety.
The eggs Benedict was very good. Didn’t realize the salad had some chili peppers on it, I picked them out.
The service was slow, coffee was ok (nothing great ) and the food was also alright only, nothing good. It was not worth the money and the service.
