Chez Laurent is a nice little Italian restaurant in an old house on Yonge Street. There is street parking on many of the side roads nearby and Green P parking lots as well.
The hostess and waitress were very welcoming and we did not need our reservation (weekday around 8pm), though with fairly limited seating you would want to play it safe and call ahead.
We were given ample time to order, talk, and eat, without being left unattended or pestered - a talent not had by many in the restaurant industry.
I had the escargot and the fettuccine carbonera, both of which were average or better. The ambiance and hospitality made the visit well worthwhile.
