I was visiting my husband's family in T.O. earlier this month, and we decided to go out on a Friday night for a good dinner. I had been to Alice Fazooli's only once before, and all I tried at that time was their bloody Cesar (which was delish!) What I liked almost instantly about the place was the ambiance, and the fact that even on a random weekday afternoon it was busy! I figured there had to be something good about this place, right? Right. It's their food, their amazing cocktails and their great service, in addition to their neat rustic decor.
We ordered a variety of cocktails - from the pinot grigio mojito to the pear martini, from the classic martini to a fancied up gin & tonic with red peppercorns! of course I had to get a sip of all the beverages, and I had a hard time deciding which one I liked the most! for food we had the grilled calamari, wild mushroom pizza, Penne Arrabiate and another pasta (which was less memorable). I loved the calamari and the penne. the quality of all the food was great. I'd most definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Italian restaurant in this part of town!
