We came to this place attracted by BlogTO's boast of the best lasagna in town. What's a better way to try the place then the Family Meal it has on the menu. For a set price you get to try a little bit of all their well known food.
It comes with appetizers, salads, pasta, and a main course to share. With all the rave reviews, we thought we were going to have the best meal of our lives.
To note: Their Lasagna was pretty good. It comes in the menu as a small for just under $10 or a bigger pasta size. I will return just for that.
Everything else, my companion and I were pretty disappointed. Granted, it should be pretty hard to screw up a salad. Most is just compilation of freshly chopped up raw ingredients. One of the salads was dressed REALLY sour. I ended up taking it home and tossing it with more raw vegetables to be palatable.
The pasta sampler plate they provided came with 3 pasta of their choices - this included the legendary lasagna. It was the ONLY good thing on the plate. One of the pasta was undercooked so it was still crunchy. We had to send it back to be more "al dente."
The only control of choice you have was the main dish. We were able to each choose 2 mains individually - a pork chop and a lamb shank. That being the highlight of the meal, we were both pretty disappointed too. The pork chop was way overcook and tough. The lamb shank - well...we had better elsewhere.
We expected a lot more going into the restaurant especially paying over $100 including wine. We both agree afterwards we should had just gotten a lasagna and that's it.
This place was not horrendous but I would not go out of my way to return.
