This place has caught my attention for a number of reasons.
1) Everyone there seems to care that you have everything taken care of. From the waitress who was always looking for the body signs of when we were ready to order, to telling us things won't be too much longer, to a guy (who I think was the owner) handing me my napkin because I didn't put it on my lap quick enough and also thanking us for coming and asking us how the food was.
2) Good prices for Yorkville. Although I don't know if this place has some high profile chef like other high end restaurants, the fact that this place can show people that they don't let the allure of Yorkville go to their heads and charge ridiculous prices gets a thumbs up from me.
3) Very accomodating to changing needs. I wanted the gnocchi, but my love of tomato sauce made me ask to get the sauce changed on the dish. No problem. Also, when the dish came I wanted to gorge on the sauce so I asked for an extra side of tomato sauce. No problem.
4) Their tomato sauce is as close to my benchmark of awesomeness to date in Toronto. I haven't been to a lot of Italian restaurants in Toronto, but so far this is my favourite.
I can't say too many ways this place needs to improve other than maybe some more lighting and the tables can be a little crowded. Although I won't be doing backflips for the gnoochi, I still enjoyed it and would like to try other dishes at this place.
