| - Mother and went while visiting family in Toronto. It had been a long night and we were ready for some nice Italian food. The Saturday night we went was busy to say the least and the crowds were nothing short of annoying, but they quickly got us to our table before anything got to bad.
We were served my soup and my mother's salad, along with vinegar // oil and bread - which, wasn't replenished once after that. Fairly soon after we had gotten our soups // salads our dinners came out...like weirdly soon. I had gotten the chicken Parmesan and my mother got the spaghetti. Now, I'm no chef but I'm pretty sure that chicken parm isn't supposed to be soggy...or green. The breading that was on my chicken was so mushy that I could run my fork down the side and it would just run through the prongs of the fork. It was also green, there must had been flakes of parsley in the batter that they coated it in and it must had dyed the chicken and breading. As for the taste, the consistency just completely ruined the taste for me. The pasta it was served with was pretty good, and the raw veggies could be more seasoned. My mothers spaghetti was pretty good, but for an Italian resteraunt? Ehhhh.....
Another few things that I just wanted to mention before this turns into a book, the glasses we were given were just a little bigger than shot glasses and almost every 5 minuets we had to ask for more water (Maybe this is a Canada thing???). The waitress was very nice and other than the food coming out so fast, we didn't feel rushed - even thought she had many other tables. Oh and what ever you do don't say yes to the shredded Parmesan, the guy made a MESS doing it.
All together, it was a nice place to look at - really really hot in there but nice. Would've been 3 stars but the chicken just was so gross - and I'm not a picky eater.
