I'm so unsure of how to rate this restaurant. I heard really good things about it on the internet before getting to Toronto so even before arriving in the city, I made a reservation. I'm sad to say that I was disappointed. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked but it was SO SPICY, I wish I had been warned. I'm pretty sure Amatriciana sauce calls for some sort of black pepper or chili pepper but that was just crazy spicy. I could barely eat it. Everything we ordered was just sub par... Except for the wine ;)
My best friend had the steak and it was delicious. I ended up eating some of her food because I couldn't eat mine due to the spiciness. Mind you, I put hot sauce on basically everything so you'd think I'd be used to the heat. I'm giving three stars because of the service. The server immediately noticed that I hadn't eaten much of my meal so she offered me something else but I said it was okay. She made up for the "just okay" food. Such a cute restaurant but I'm not sure that I'd go back if I were back in Toronto.
