| - Came to 7 Numbers Danforth for Winterlicious ($28/person) a couple nights ago. It was myself and two friends. The restaurant is quaint and small but also nice and cozy. It's dimly lit with candles everywhere, definitely a nice romantic spot if you don't mind being around people that are closely seated to you. We were seated on a long table with individuals right next to us - it wasn't cramped per say, but it was definitely close - like the table could clearly hear our conversation and vice versa. All three of us ordered the arancini di riso where are rice balls covered in mozzarella and fried with tomato sauce. It was okay, it's definitely a heavy carb dish so if you're able to stomach a lot, it's a great appetizer if you're hungry. Taste wise, it was decent. The inside, with the cheese oozing out was delicious but if you had more of the outer edges of the balls with just rice and fried dough, it could be a little bland. Following that was the pollo cacciatore which is hunter style chicken thigh. Two portions on the plate with veggies, it was good! If I was to go again, I would order the chicken again, it's a solid dish with the right balance of vegetable sand tomato sauce to compliment the chicken. It wasn't overly cooked nor overly sauced. My two friends both got lasagna, neither raved about it but said it was decent. BUT the best part of the meal was the side of grilled zucchini -- DELICIOUS! Grilled with lemon infused olive oil - definitely stole the show at the dinner. We shared key lime pie and apple crumble cheesecake. All decent desserts, nothing extraordinary but definitely not bad.
I would say that if you enjoy tomato sauce, a cozy environment, decent food for a decent price, then give it a try but I also wouldn't go out of my way to return.
