Piacere is quietly tucked into a corner of a shopping plaza on Weston and Rutherford. I've been to this plaza a number of times but never noticed this restaurant. We decided to give it a try for Savour York Region.
We were quickly seated. Even if we didn't have a reservation, the restaurant had plenty of seating. The waitress didn't provide the Savour York Region menus until we asked. We ordered the lobster bisque soup, the calamari fritti, the scallopini, the trout, and the capuccino truffle and the limoncello truffle. The one thing that stood out were the portion sizes. They were pretty large. I really enjoyed the calamari fritti, which I thought was a mix of grilled and fried calamari -- lightly battered. Probably the best calamari I've had. The scallopini was delicious, and the trout was well prepared, not overcooked. The desserts were really tasty. It's a ball of gelato with a caramel-like center, rolled in confection. If you're looking for a tart dessert, the limoncello is the way to go. Otherwise the capuccino truffle is the way to go.
