I'm not a fan of celebrity chefs but I am a fan of Italian food. So what am I supposed to do when I'm invited to dinner at Jamie's Italian at Square One in Mississauga? Being open minded, I go of course!
I ordered the Parma (Margherita pizza with Prosciutto and slices of Parmesan along with Arugala) along with a bread appetizer. The bread was okay but not worth the $6 charge but the pizza was really good. It still doesn't top some of the authentic Neapolitan pizza joints in Toronto, but it certainly competes. There's nothing better than a pizza that pays as much attention to the crust as it does the toppings.
I finished off with an Americano (very good) and an orange zest laced tiramisu. I thought this was a nice touch to what is an often ill attempted dessert at most restaurants/bakeries.
Prices were fair and service was on point. If you like Italian food, don't let the celebrity chef name scare you away.
