| - With so many cute places to eat on the Yonge & Eglinton area, I once more made use of Yelp to look for the best choice and, boy, was I not disappointed.
We went there on a Saturday afternoon, and while the lunch menu is not big, I was extremely pleased with my choices.
For starters, I ordered the caprese salad. I don't care about salads but I ordered that to join my wife, but man, I would have that salad as a meal every day. Everything was great about it, but I have to mention the tomatoes, extremely juicy and mouthwatering.
Then I ordered the salsiccia focaccia, which was awesome. Again, I do not love foccacia bread because it's always kinda tough and bland but this one was soft and savory, you could taste the herbs and spices of the bread.
My wife wasn't overwhelmed by her choices, and I'll have to say that her salad was not as good as mine, but the gnocchi that she ordered had a fantastic texture and taste. The sauce was too bland for her, but I enjoyed the taste of real tomatoes.
The service was great, if it wasn't for the lack of accent, I would say that the server was taken right off of a mafia movie, friendly, galant and bold at the same time. The indoor decor is simply gorgeous.
I have only two small complaints: I guess it's the most expensive non-refill pop I've ever paid ($3.50 a glass), and the bread that they serve at the start seems to be taken out of a Wonder Bread bag. It's not enough to take away one of their five stars.
