| - I do not usually do Italian food, but when I do , I do it big!
I saw all the discouraging review against this place but too be honest, if you want decent Italian food, this is where you belong to.
Food: I had Funghi Assoluti? Ravioli di Zio Paperone? Ravioli di pork sausage. The waitress was like, Funghi Assoluti is really good. Although I was not in a mood of salad, I still went for it. And this dish did not disappoint me at all. In fact, it is one of the best salad I had so far in all the Italian place I have ever visited. The mush is sauteing well and the angula balanced with its freshness making the dish not greasy at all but gave me a feeling of lightness. Ravioli di Zio Paperone? Ravioli di pork sausage are so-called Italian dumplings. Zio Paperone is made by spinach dough and duck confit into it. Very tasty. I did not try the sauce and the mushroom, but looks like it's balanced. In addition, Spicy Pork Ravioli is delicious too. Very enlighten my tasty.
I am very thankful for our waiter to bring us not only bread but also hot pepper sauce to me. The hot pepper sauce actually made the bread taste so much better.
Service: we were there around 3pm. Not a lot of people here. Our waitress came here quick to place our orders. I want to thank her so much to provide me such delicious salad dish choices. I also want to thank her to be so nice and treat us so kindly and well. And I appreciate the little talk between us making me more feel at home.
Price: I do not care price if I am having a really good meal. But if you wanna know, the Ravioli di Zio Paperone? Ravioli di pork are 20 +. My Funghi Assoluti is 14+.
Overall: I did not know that this place is like a chain resturant but they do have other similar restaurant in other areas. I think i will definitely visit next time when I am in LA! While I am writing the review, I am little bit jealous of the fact that Toronto people have such great opportunities to eat here.
