Wow this was disappointing. after reading prior reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was going to a show at Kool Haus and wanted to have a nice dinner beforehand. Maybe this place would be good for families, but as a date it was subpar for sure. The meal started off well with a nice beef carpaccio but quickly went downhill from there. Other than when we ordered our food, the waiter only came by to deliver the cheque. My glass of water was empty for the entire meal, which might have been acceptable had the food not been insanely salty... I ordered the "award-winning" Risotto set in a pheasant ragout with black truffle pate and could not even finish it. My date's carbonara pasta was just as salty. I'm normally a person who can handle high levels of salt but this was truly unreasonable. In addition the ambiance is far from romantic and the food is not cheap. Maybe had I ordered other dishes my experience would have been better, but I'll never find out though - there's plenty of other Italian places in Toronto.
