What used to be great cuisine has slowly become over done drab food and as a yelper and foodie alike the food comes first.
Never mind the excellent service and attention by the waiters the food isn't what it use to be.
Never mind the excellent venue and ambiance which soothes and relaxes you before you eat the food is not what it used to be.
Never mind the mind blowing wine list with thousands of bottle selection, the food is not what it used to be.
The food is what motivates me to go back, and the outdated, over done, never changing menu is something that I despise. Yes I do think the meat and risottos are amazing but its not exciting anymore (I could cook everything they make at home). Get a new chef, look around at other italian food which is light, fresh and doesn't make feel like I've eaten a block of butter and change up the old.
Etobicoke doesn't have that much high priced selection but for my $200 meal w/ tax w/ tip I feel I would have been happier and lighter at some newer restros downtown. I'm sure some of the zoomers agree, while other just go because they don't know where else to throw their money. Buca or vibo next time.
