  • Overall, as an Italian who loves food, I was disappointed with this place, especially given all the hype around it. The food here really is mostly a miss. The starter platter of cheeses/meats was overpriced and left much to be desired. 2 of the 3 "meats" were just fat. Seriously. I know pancetta is basically fat, but there should be some semblance of red meat in there. And then along with the overly-fat pancetta was another bunch of sliced fat. It was literally just fat. The cheese selections were tasty, but hardly enough for the 4 people at our table to have a decent taste. For $28, this was a ripoff. The following dishes weren't much better. The $16 Calamari appetizer was made up mostly of arugula and potatoes, NOT calamari. The presentation was lovely, but there were maybe 5 or 6 small pieces of grilled calamari on the plate. Once again, I felt jipped. Entrees: My friend and I shared the farfalle with lamb sausage and a pizza. The pizza was the best thing we ate. The pasta was another ripoff. We went for the smaller $17 pasta dish, and our waiter did warn us that it would be small. But for $17, I expected more than a handful of pasta. It really was pathetically small, not to mention seriously un-Italian! The tiramisu was fine, but nothing to write home about. Again, for $9 a slice I was expecting more. It was flavourful, but you could tell they stretched the hell out of the recipe by using whipped cream instead of mascapone cheese. Sure, cream and coffee-soaked cookies taste good, but this is a far cry from the homemade tiramisus I've been accustomed to. Also, be aware that there are no meat entrees on the menu. No veal, no lamb, no chicken, nothing. You're limited to Pasta or Pizza for your main dish. Service was fine, although our waiter wasn't particularly warm or social. Toronto Life rated this one of the best new restaurants in 2011. I beg to differ. There are so many great Italian restos in this city. Pass on this one.
