Visited Fri Nov 25 for dinner (Party of 2)
I called to make reservations, and they say they don't take reservations. Yet there are tables with Reserved signs on them when I arrive at 6pm.
Pros
Side tus kale - Amazingly prepared, and tasty. Not sure if they massaged the leaves enough, that's the secret to bringing out the sweetness.
Pollo alla griglia - Very unique item that is like a quesadila. The chicken was seasoned well and paired well with the carbonerra (bacon). I have never seen this item before.
Pasta al ragu ossobuco - A bit over-priced at $15 but tasted fresh.
Fast service, food arrived in 5 min.
Cons
The traffic on Leslie and York Mills is really busy on a Fri night, so plan extra travel time to get here. Parking lot was full when we arrived.
The Asian server with glasses didn't smile and didn't seem very enthusiastic, smile and I would have given a tip :)
Hard to understand the menu since everything is in Italian, it took 5 min of studying the ingredients to understand what was on the menu. What is a piadina? What is a panino? I have heard of a panini.
High chairs a bit hard to sit in as the seat is so high.
Single washrooms only, you get that uncomfortable feeling when you're inside doing your business and people keep trying to get in because they can't tell if it's occupied or not.
Protip - Look through the menu in advance, as there is no server to answer question until you get to the cash. There was a lineup of people behind me as I asked questions.
Damage - $40
