We've had a couple of meals and a few coffees here, and so far I'm happy. Yes, you can get a cheaper and better margherita pizza at Libretto, but these pies are pretty tasty (if slightly overpriced), and we don't have to trek over to Ossington and fight our way through hordes of hipsters to get it.
The coffee is solid; the space is gorgeous, all soaring ceilings and wooden beams (the building itself has a really interesting history as an old flophouse--kudos to the resto partners for rescuing the space and putting it to good use). I love the open-concept kitchen: next time I plan to sit at the bar and watch my pizza being made. The service is friendly and generally competent.
Most of all, I'm just SO GLAD these folks opened up in Chinatown--we live in this neighbourhood and the total lack of non-Asian options for dinner was really starting to grate on my nerves!!! Looking forward to making this place our go-to local for when we really can't face another bowl of lo mein. Yay for restaurant diversity!!
