Welcome to Woodbridge.
Everyone is Italian and everyone dresses up for dinner.
I suppose ripped skinny jeans and cowboy boots weren't exactly the right attire for my dinner at Desserts Plus, an apparently casual Italian restaurant at Weston Road and Langstaff, the heart of "Northern Little Italy."
With all eyes on me, I waited for my dinner companion, a real Italian bella, to arrive, and perused the simple but concise menu.
"OK, this can't be too hard" I thought. "Do I want the pizza or the pasta?"
My friend arrived and I settled on the chicken.... Chicken Marsala to be exact.
It came with a salad and a side of pasta. I chose gnocchi with tomato sauce. The food arrived within minutes.
Boy, she wasn't kidding when she said these people do large portions!
We enjoyed great conversation, staff were wonderful and chatted us up, but the food was a bit of a let down.
My chicken was dry and the marsala sauce was too sweet. The gnocchi was bland and her margarita pizza was certainly not best I've ever had.
I reluctantly refused a shot of espresso at the conclusion of our night.
I like Tim's better.
