it's come to my attention that torontonians wouldn't know quality italian food if it kicked them between the eyes. a growing line out the door & rave reviews by fellow yelpers was enough to persuade my wife & i into checking this place out on a saturday night...& we instantly regretted the 80 bucks we dropped. calamari was tough & rubbery, poorly breaded, & bland as all hell. my wife's linguine con gamberi included inedible, overcooked shrimp, a foul-tasting sauce, & undercooked pasta. my gnocchi had an affable tomato sauce, but the actual dumplings were a chore to chew through. even the wine tasted like a cheap bottle you'd buy off the $4.99 rack at a corner store. i'd bump my rating up to 2 stars if the servers didn't bring our food to the wrong table & award us with the distinction of being the only patrons without water. maybe we should have tried the pizza?
