Went here for a birthday party. the hostess when asked about our reservation just told us to go inside rather than show us where our table was. This was especially awkward as we didn't know the other party guests we were meeting, because our friend whose birthday it was hadn't arrived yet.
we ordered our drinks and the waitress seemed nice at first but very cut and dry and seemed only cheerful when talking to us about her sunburn and how she planned to vacation to Honduras.
from then on the service was down hill, my girlfriend had to wait 15 minutes to get a coffee, and then we had to wait another 15 minutes before we could order food and we had to ask to order food.
the music was horrible cheesy euro house music that was BLARING and we had to yell to talk to our friends beside us. WHEN WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE RESTAURANT! haha ridiculous! we asked to have the music turned down, only to have them crank it back up 20 minutes later.
ordered pasta and it was "okay" but obviously made from store bough dry pasta, that you can get at Metro next door. i know this from the giant messy pile of pasta boxes literally stacked to the ceiling next to my head where i sat!
we read the pizza was "good" so we ordered their signature " waving flag pizza" only to get entirely plain sauceless dough that had been in the oven and raw toppings put on after wards. no melted cheese almost zero olive oil. no love put into this pizza whatsoever.
the bruschetta my friends ordered was a joke served on the same overly thin sliced tasteless bread that they toss at you for free when you sit down.
waitress was basically never there to check on us unless we told another server to go get her.
we had to ask 3 times to be brought sparkling water, no parmesean cheese was offered and there was almost zero pepper coming out.
was brought our bill with the tip already added at about 13%. i don't think i would have tipped more than 5% had i been given the option.
and given the option, i would also never return!
laughable fake italian restaurants like this don't belong in toronto when there's better places in abundance all around us.
