This place literally made me say "Meh. I've experienced better" one time, so it's probably the most exact 2 star review I've ever written. I've also been here at least 5 times, it was a fave for U of T special lunches by faculty and staff. Never my choice, but never a terrible experience. It's just so "Meh."
It's an Italian Restaurant, but it's more like Italian-fusion. IE: Chicken Caesar salad sandwich lunch specials, etc. Their pastas are OK, but a bit bland. Their brunch was good, but again not great.
Great bar stock and there are TV's over the bar in the front part of the restaurant if you want to zone out for a moment.
In my opinion, if you're in Baldwin Village this just isn't the spot to go to. Want Italian? Hit John's across the street. Feeling fancy? Try Bodega or La Gaffe.
PROPS FOR: They do have a beautiful outdoor wrap-around patio, half covered half open air. Great for people watching.
