A HUGE disappointment, given the buzz.
Nice atmosphere, and I can imagine it's even nicer opened to the patio in the summer. That gets the place up to two stars - because the food price/value ratio is a solid "1".
The food isn't bad, but it isn't very good, either. Points for presentation and creativity, but nowhere near enough points to make up for their outrageous prices.
Toronto is full of great italian restaurants - and F'Amelia isn't one of them. It would be a nice $12 a plate neighborhood place, but two apps and four entrees with a couple of bottles of their cheaper wines cost $350. (Did I mention their ridiculous wine mark-ups?) I was ready to give them the benefit of the doubt, that perhaps we'd hit a bad night - but reading the reviews here, it seems they've been abusing the customers for over a year now. They've had more than enough time to try to bring their quality up to match their prices. They can't do it.
Service is spotty and brusque. Two stars fits it perfectly.
I might be up for pizza on their patio on a nice summer day - with a cold beer. That might be a three star experience.
Not otherwise recommended.
