| - Little Anthony's is an italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Toronto. The restaurant comes off as fairly upscale, with nice lighting, a fancy atmosphere and people generally dressed accordingly. The service was generally very good, with attentive staff and free coat check ins. Both times, I came here for a friend's birthday as they allow for large group reservations.
However, the food was mediocre at best. They started off serving bread, which tasted stale and was generally unappetizing. For dinner, I shared the "Tagliatelle alla Bolognese", turkey meatballs (yelp deal when you check in at the restaurant) and a caesar salad with my girlfriend. None of the dishes were terrible but they were just generally bland. The meatball was a bit dry and lacked flavor, certainly not worth the $16 price tag on the menu. My pasta was again bland and unexciting- reminded me of pasta I could make for myself. The caesar salad didn't have much dressing on it and was just a boring salad. The prices were also generally expensive (~$25 for a pasta dish, $15 for any appetizer).
Overall, I would expect more from a restaurant with this type atmosphere and pricing. The food is forgettable and uninteresting, so I wouldnt come here if you're looking for your next favorite Italian spot. However, it might be worth looking into for a large group or if you're looking for this type of atmosphere.
