  • I've been to this restaurant a number of times over the last several years. I find it consistent and comfortable. Decor is warm wood tones and good chairs. A fabric bench table at the back has accommodated my growing family of brother and sister in law, very young niece and nephew, mom and her husband so definitely family friendly. The art work (I hope) is a display for various artists - the installation right now is very strange - mixed media pictures of Bob Marley? Quite the juxtaposition to this traditional place but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they offer the walls to local artists and you may see something new next time you go. There's an old world charm about the place - Italian (-looking at least) waiters dressed in black and formal white napkins - traditional bread with olive oil and balsamic served before the meal...and a menu of mostly pastas and pizzas. A quiet place good for a first date - you won't break the bank but it's nice enough to impress the ladies ;-) The food is good. Not amazing, not the hand-made comfort food of some of the city's new Italian restos but as I say, consistently good. My last visit I had the caesar salad which is quite lovely with hearts of romaine, a good quality parmesan and their twist of sundried tomatoes which I normally don't like but somehow don't object to in this salad. Despite my earlier sentence about it not being hand-made, my main was: Hand-Made Butternut Squash Agnolotti served with Toasted Hazelnuts, Sage & Butter. It was simple but delicious - perhaps the best I've had here. Decent sized portion at a decent price. i can't comment on the pizzas as I haven't had them but they look pretty good passing our table. There was a mushroom one I debated before going with the pasta - happy with my choice! It had few options for the vegetarian - that one pasta I think, maybe a gnocchi and a couple of pizzas - I guess that's considered options at most places, I just always hope for a bit more. Wine selection is in my opinion small and a bit weak but I managed to drink a Ripasso I didn't mind. Only a half litre though and I'm known to follow up another glass when the wine is fine :-) I'll be back probably because my brother likes it there but with the buffet of restaurants Toronto has to offer - and Roncesvalles area itself, it won't top my favourites list.
