I've got a special spot in my heart for the good folks at Parkette. After being turned away from both, Oyster Boy & The County General we we're welcomed at Parkette like Paesans. Okay, maybe not completely welcomed. They did mention the kitchen would close soon because we were so damn late. Our fault.
The service was great considering we were the almost last party of the weeknight and a group service charge was added to our bill. I ordered the Wild Mushroom risotto, which was infused with fresh garlic and so rich as a super late dinner. The pizza was decent, though I wouldn't come here for pizza over a trip West to Libretto (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/pizzeria-libretto-toronto).
I agree with Sara P., in that the ambiance is fit for a romantic dinner and the restaurant is pretty quiet even though it was far from empty. I'd be back here in a heartbeat and I can't wait to recommend it to others.
Next visit, Brunch.
