| - Overall: 2.5/5
I heard really great things about Tosto, especially about their downtown location. When I found out that there was an Oakville location, I was super excited to try it out. Unfortunately, Tosto came up short for me in the taste department and I will not be back.
Taste: 2/5
I went with my boyfriend and we ordered the calamari to start, followed by our mains: carbonara and brasato. The calamari was alright, nothing special to rave about. My boyfriend didn't like this dish at all and he ended up eating everything BUT the calamari. He did mention that the arugula saved the dish. Moving onto our mains, I was really disappointed by my carbonara. Unfortunately, it was bland, dry, and cold. Needless to say, I had a difficult time finishing my plate. My boyfriend enjoyed his brasato pizza though. I had a few bites of it and wished that I had ordered a pizza instead.
Service: 3/5
Tosto is a self-serve restaurant. Patrons pay for their meal at the counter and receive a buzzer when their food is ready. We received the buzzer and chose to sit outside on the patio. Our buzzer actually didn't even light up and the staff who took our order ended up bringing our food and drinks to us. Some confusion when we finished our meal - seeing that they didn't go by the self-serve they had told us about for the beginning of our meal, we weren't sure if the staff would be bringing our empty dishes back and cleaning the table or if we were expected to bring everything back in. It was the latter. Overall, service was decent but not consistent.
Ambience: 3/5
Restaurant set-up is nice, with lots of space inside and some cool couch-style seats, and the option for patio as well.
