The restaurant had a mix of hipster and rustic decor going on which looked nice and confusing at the same time. We didn't make any reservations but it was at around 2pm so the restaurant was rather empty. We were quickly escorted to a booth with menus. The restaurant also had a bar area where people could watch sports. Overall the restaurant was very big and spacious.
We decided to share a few things to share between the three of us, and the first thing that we ordered was bruschetta. It's one of my favourite Italian dishes and you really can't go wrong with it! The bruschetta was delicious and quite filling too - I believe we ordered the large size for the 3 of us which ended up being more than enough. I remember loving the balsamic vinegar on top!
We next ordered a seafood pasta, one of our all time favourites, and the small size was bigger in portion that we thought! The seafood in the pasta was very fresh and overall it was a nice dish.
The baked carbonara was something new that we tried...and we all loved it! Carbonara is truly a classic Italian dish, but when it's baked, it's so much better! I loved how there was the baked egg on top. It definitely was a bit different from the classic Carbonara but it overall was a great choice.
Scaddabush at Square One is a great restaurant to visit with family and friends on a casual night out. It's not 100% romantic but it's still a place I'd go with my husband for a casual date to enjoy ourselves after a movie or a shopping spree. If you live in Toronto, check out their downtown location!
