| - In summary, definitely worth a trip and recommendation given the good balance of food quality, service, price, location, and ambiance.
Came here with a party of 5 on a Saturday night. If it weren't for Vaughan Mills next door, we would likely not have waited the hour for our table. So like what lots of folks have said, make a reservation! We had a round of beer, two pizzas as appetizers, and all pastas as mains.
Pros:
- Great food quality! Very fresh and well-portioned. The flavours were very rich and bursting in everything we had - so much so it would suffice to stay away from the saucy/creamy/cheesy dishes which would be too heavy if not shared.
- Fast and courteous service: our server was attentive, replenishing our water and bread without asking. Not particularly warm or nice, just courteous.
- Bustling and warm atmosphere - may be too loud for some?
- Price was quite reasonable. Pizzas were around $12-15 each, pastas $12-16, mains $17-25, our bottled beers were $4.5. If the environment was more comfortable, we would have likely stayed for dessert/coffee.
Cons:
- The wait will definitely turn people off/away - again, make that reservation....!
- The seating wasn't that comfortable. Something about the chairs made our bums keep shifting around the whole dinner. And the table arrangements were a bit too close for privacy and conversation.... but I guess it's part of the ambiance???
