  • This restaurant is unbelievable! I can't believe I hadn't heard of it until my visit a few weeks back. The menu is unique (no standard Italian fare here), quirky (Sexy duck leg!?) and accompanied by quite frankly stunning value for money. 12.25 for braised New Zealand lamb shank, a meal which my bf described as one of the nicest dishes he's ever had. Inside it's dark, fun and atmospheric. I say boo to all those complaining about the loudness of the place. It's nice to go to a restaurant in Toronto that actually has a bit of vibrancy and edge to it. The service is similarly suave, friendly and just COOL! On a practical level, they were also informative about the menu and speedy in their delivery of the yummy food and juice. Chalkboard menus are displayed all over the restaurant so you can always be tempted by their wine and dessert selection at any stage during your meal. Extra kudos for them for clearly displaying their cash and credit only policy in a very obvious manner on those same chalkboards. It's nice to not wait until the end of the meal before realising you can only pay in certain ways. I had the orecchiete pasta with ricotta and the server suggested I try it with complimentary chilli flakes. An unusual combination, but it worked beautifully and the spicey cheesey mix was such a welcome change from typical Italian pasta dishes! I can still remember the taste weeks later! The portion was perfectly sized - you don't want a huge portion whenever pasta and ricotta are combined, and they got it just right. Pasta was perfectly al dente and the ricotta was to die for. I cannot wait to go back here, but I do have one small complaint...the menu isn't very accommodating to those with more conservative tastes. Yes, it's amazing to see such creative and original twists on Italian food, but on the night I visited, there was literally no chicken or beef options. Everything was veal, duck or lamb (even the lasagne). The former vegetarian in me isn't too keen on eating certain types of meats, such as those above, so I found myself quite limited here. However, this definitely won't prevent me returning, especially considering that I understand this place changes its menu regularly. Highly recommended, but vegetarians and fussy eaters may want to check the menu in advance.
