| - First time eating her in at least 20 years. I dimly remember eating here once before, but can't recall when & definitely don't recall my experience.
Went on a Thursday evening with my wife. A last-minute decision to eat out & we both felt like pasta, so decided to finally give this long-time Yonge & Eg eatery a try with no reservations. Arrived just after 6PM, & were seated immediately.
The interior of this place is old & tired. Definitely needs to be refreshed.
Service was friendly & efficient. No issues at all. We each had a starter, pasta dish & glass of wine & we were out by 7:15PM- just the way we like it for a casual mid-week dinner out.
Caesar salad- we both ordered & were somewhat disappointed. For myself, the dressing was correct, including the definite hint of anchovy in there. But the romaine was torn into huge pieces, making it difficult to eat. I donlt like using my knife when eating a green salad.
My wife had the fettucine Alfredo (they call it something else- why?) Pasta with cream, butter & parmesean cheese. She was disappointed- finding it too heavy & did not finish her plate.
I had the Bosco- cream sauce with mushrooms & rosemary. I found it just fine. Excatly what I expected- no more, no less.
We had two glasses of Italian red wine- 9oz size. The wine was a bit expensive in my opinion.
In summary, Grazie needs to renovate or refresh their space. The pasta was a-ok & the service was correct. If I lived in the immediate neighbourhood, I MIGHT go back once in a while for a pasta dish, but I would not go regularly. The food prices were relatively-speaking reasonable, but the wine was expensive.
