Yeah this place is nothing special, except, again, they really have a nice summer patio. This piece of corner is actually not bad. New condo's are sprouting up like crazy.
I really don't like the MN location on Yonge. I remember going there when I was pretty young and didn't think much of it (and never returned). But when my mom told me of this Italian restaurant that had a really great patio, I couldn't resist. As soon as I saw the name though, my initial reaction was oh no.
But as soon as we sat under the sun, it was oh yes. This MN is vastly different from the Yonge St. location: modern and sleek interior. Service, the two times I went, were excellent. The menu is actually quite ho-hum, except I had the Jumbo Grilled Shrimps which were SOOO YUMMY! 4 large sized shrimps on a bed of fresh summer salad. YUM! My mom the one night had the Sea Bass special which was surprisingly delish. A perfectly juicy square piece of plump fish with a nice crusty skin and served beside some Squash and Rapini.
Wine menu's are typically Italian (Pinot for Whites, and Chianti's and Valpolicella's for Reds) and they have lots of half litre choices which is perfect for two.
Now that the summer and warm season is almost, done I doubt I will be back here until next summer. To be honest, without the patio, this place would be nothing special and it is very far from my uptown home. That being said, if you are ever in the area and want to take advantage of the last warm days, then head over to Mezza Notte for a glass of vino and car watching (forget the people!!) as I saw two Ferrari convertibles already.
