| - I've been to this restaurant twice, both on visits to Toronto with my boyfriend. The first time, we just came across it, and left full and happy. This time, we planned to go back and made reservations, and we weren't so full this time around, but it was still very good.
The atmosphere is right on. My boyfriend and I love intimate, warm restaurants with small tables and candles burning. This place is exactly that. You can't beat it for a date night.
The food has been delicious both times - so delicious that I ordered the same dish each time. I got the Spaghetti Amore, which is linguine in a creamy pesto sauce (you hard me, CREAMY PESTO SAUCE), with red peppers and chicken. It's kind of incredible. To top it off, they serve yummy Italian bread with homemade hummus as a complimentary starter.
They have a decent wine selection, but you won't get out for under $8 a glass, but I've learned to expect that in the city. They have about one choice for each popular wine.
The only thing either of us had been disappointed in was the size of my boyfriend's entree. For about $18, he received five half-moon ravioli stuffed with cheese and mushrooms in a sauce. It was very good, but very small for the price. As a guy who loves to eat, he was a bit disappointed.
Dessert was great: tiramisu and pecan pie with ice cream. Both were homemade.
Overall, super yummy restaurant with a great atmosphere. Definitely a good date night spot in a nice neighborhood in Toronto.
