After a bad experience at Via Vai for Neapolitain Pizza in Toronto I went out for lunch this afternoon to Famoso. The restaurant delivered on all fronts.
The location is in a cool looking rotunda type building with lots of windows and high ceilings. There was a moderate lunch time crowd there for a Monday afternoon. The waitress was friendly, attentive, and also knew her menu items.
Now onto the food! We ordered the lunch specials which consisted of a pizzetta and either soup or salad. Each pizza is hand tossed and fresh ingredients are used. Both pizzas were delicious and the dough was thoroughly cooked with a crust that is firm yet having a slight resistance when pulled apart. The taste was just right and complimented the toppings.
The tomato bisque according to my meal partner was like home made tomato bisque, creamy, well seasoned with pieces of basil mixed in. It received a pass! Meanwhile, my salad was good...hard to screw up salad unless they tried.
Yes, I would come back here.
