| - We had just finished the the WWF CN tower climb and headed to Joe Badali's for the dinner celebration.
The restaurant is centrally located, on Front St. adjacent to the Metro Convention Centre. It was a short walk from the CN Tower.
If you didn't gather by the name the restaurant serves Italian food. The place is large and can host a corporate event of this size. There are 2 expansive dining rooms areas. The restaurant details 16' ceilings, wooden floors, hard wood tables, and walls rustic in appearance giving it that European look. Atmosphere - warm and inviting.
Dinner was served buffet style in the two dining areas. I had a caesar salad, rigatoni, chicken cacciatori, and garlic bread. For dessert some melon. It wasn't anything I would come back for, but it wasn't all that bad either.
I had hoped for soup, but as I got closer to the soup containers they were empty, I asked one of the kitchen staff, "No soup?" he chuckled and answered "Cutbacks' .. I'm not sure if he was serious or not, but I laughed back.
Service was alright, our plates were cleared in a timely manner and our waiter brought our drink orders in a reasonable amount of time.
Culinary excellence is not it's forte however it's a good choice for hosting a large dinner event because of it's space and proximity to MTCC and CN Tower . They had no problems handling the volume that evening.
