| - Venue- 5/5. Beautiful, classy interior and big sidewalk patio plus superb Italian food = a pretty solid night. Located in a touristy area between the ACC and Rogers Centre, TM is perfect for dates, family or friends gatherings, or touristy night out.
Food- 4/5. There's not many vegetarian options unfortunately. Pescatarians can rejoice though - the platters feature many seafood options. I ordered the albacore tuna, which came on a bed of greens and green beans and boiled potatoes. The tuna steaks were fatty and well cooked, but smelled and tasted a bit too fishy imo. My partner ordered the margherita pizza, the only vegetarian pizza option unless you consider the salsiccia, which can become vegetarian by replacing the sausages with veggies. The crust was very thin and the dough was quite tasty. Reminded me of a via mercanti pizza. However, the cheese was so-so. Our favorite dish was the arancini appetizer - 3 fried risotto balls coating chewy provolone cheese on a bed of tomato sauce. Strongly recommend this dish - unhealthy, puts you into a food coma, but soooo delicious.
Value- 3/5. Pricy, but reasonable for date night. Pizzas and pastas are $15-20 while protein platters hover $20-40. Tonight for two without drinks we spent $60. No complimentary bread here (though we never asked), so load up on orders!
Service- 4/5. We had a wonderful waitress. All the staff in fact were young, poised, and chill/friendly. Have to subtract 1 star for the speed and attentiveness - appetizer came after the mains since was forgotten and everything took a while to happen, from waters to orders to food arriving to billing.
