| - Discovering a new Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood is like striking gold (or oil-whichever you prefer. Lol)! In the old Fire&Ice location, they have spruced it up, included modern-chic decor, and made it a welcomed space!
First of all, parking here is a breeze! With very few business around, the multitude of parking spots makes finding one quite easy!
Walking in, the first things you may notice are the beautiful wine rack and bar, and the open kitchen! Sitting down, the table was a bit wobbly, so we asked to move to a different one. This one was also wobbly, but manageable when placed right up against the wall. After a look around, beautiful decor and ambiance fills the restaurant, albeit some space could be used a little better. Tables in open areas seemed to be randomly placed in include more seating.
Food was quite good, as we did order an array of choices. The Antipasto Plate was fantastico, blending sweet and sour together without disrupting the balance between meats, cheese, and grilled vegetables.
The Veal with Capers was quite good, though I had never had giant capers before. A bit overwhelming for the veal, but without, the veal was quite tasty. The accompanying pasta was cooked perfectly to al dente.
The Risotto was quite good as well, with the seafood quite fresh overall.
The Double Chocolate Cake was quite rich in chocolate flavour without being too sweet! The crust was quite hard though, which made eating quite a difficult task.
Overall a good meal, but the menu boasted more seafood options than I would have liked. Being allergic to crustaceans, my options were limited quite a bit to mostly fish or chicken. Definitely a good Italian choice in the Markham area! Buon appetito~!
