What a Nice Surprise!!!
I have passed this place many times while traveling on Rue Ste-Catherine in Montreal. From the outside decorations and setup, I always assumed that this was an one stop type of pizza parlor. I am glad to say that I was completely wrong.
We visited Toro, because it was one of the few actual restaurants that was open for dinner on Christmas Day. We ordered the Prix Fix meal, which was around 24 bucks (CAD), and it came with 4 courses, which included dessert. My salmon with a creme sauce was perfectly prepared. To be perfectly honest, I cannot remember the rest of the courses but the food was definitely edible (I do not remember complaining about anything). Although the food did not have that 100% authentic Italian feel, the food was definitely better than many so-called authentic Italian restaurants in New York City.
The service was very exceptional. Our waiter was nice, helpful and really funny. He was very good in explaining many of the items that were on the special menu, which were in Italian and French. I am a little suprised that this place has received so many bad reviews in regards to the service.
I would definitely eat here during another visit in Montreal.
