The bad reviews for this restaurant are completely undeserved. We've been several times, and have had a great experience every time, even with our toddler. Despite what you might read elsewhere, this place is child friendly. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and our son (keep in mind we have a head on our shoulders and take our child out to restaurants during non-rush hours). The food is always delicious and reasonably priced - I'm actually not a pasta fan and this is one of the only places I actually order pasta. This is our go-to restaurant in Bloor West for dinner. Some restaurants in Bloor West deserve their bad reviews (like Sharkey's) - this place does not.
