Was coming up for the night for my boyfriends birthday and was tasked with finding a place for dinner. He loves Italian so
I thought it would be easy. I even remembered seeing a post on Facebook with an article about the best restaurants in Toronto. I finally found the Italian place that was on the list so I looked at their reviews on yelp. A majority said service was great but the food was okay.....I don't know why service ranks higher than food but anyways crossed that off the list and kept searching. After reading many reviews and menus I found marinellas and my interest was more than piqued. I loved this place, the food, the atmosphere, the service, everything. We started with the calimari. The breeding was amazing, almost like a beer battered fish fry breading. I had a special for the evening a lamb ragu with lamb meatballs and lamb sausage. The meat was amazing and tender and the homemade pasta superb. Even my favorite Italian places back home don't make their own fresh pasta on the spot. My boyfriend had the seafood pasta. Again another amazing dish. It was his entree that caught my eye before I heard about the lamb so next time we come I know what I'm getting. To anyone out there for great Italian, go to this place.
