"Upon googling restaurants on King St West this restaurant came, it had decent reviews and the price seems reasonable as well. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, I don't think more than 50 max can fit. The walls are decorated with rustic photos and a few paintings. They have a small bar, and the kitchen has a slight open concept, so you are able to see the chefs prepare meals and they are also able to view customers dine. \n\nFor food my friends and I decided to get: 12inch spinach pizza, honey basil cream pasta (penne), bolognese tomato basil with beef pasta (penne), gorgonzola red pepper cream with chicken (fettuccine). The pizza was excellent, great flavour, seasoning was perfect, it was soft yet crispy, highly recommended if anyone decided to go to this place. Bolognese wasn't so bad, a bit on the salty side. The gorgonzola was good, and a bit lacking in salt. The honey pasta the first time had excellent flavour in their sauce, it was a sweet basil alfredo sauce, but the pasta itself was a bit tough to chew, it wasn't al dente and I explained that to our server but I was fine with it, whatever. But the server kept insisting that he would ask the kitchen to make a new batch, so they did, and the second time the pasta was good but the sauce tasted like milk, literarily milk and pasta. I even had my friends try it, and they said the exact same. The server asked if I was happy with it, I said I'm not but it's okay I'll eat it regardless. It's not a big deal. However, the server altered the owner who came to our table, and seemed a bit upset. First, he accused me of ordering the wrong pasta type (penne) for that sauce, well if that was the case then the server could have easily made recommendations when I asked him, then the owner said that person who was our server is actually not a server but rather his \"friend\" helping him out for the evening? Well, I'm sorry I wasn't aware that my server wasn't someone who consistently works at your restaurant. Then the owner kept explaining how I \"choose\" the \"wrong pasta\" and I kept making him my point, he said he monitored the pasta the second time and there is no way he tasted like I claimed, I asked him to taste the dish himself and did not not. Then he said, I don't have the palate for tasting the organic honey, even though I explained the first time the sauce was fine. Instead, he kept badgering me and defending his pasta, and I apologized to him and said, I'm only providing honest feedback and I didn't mean to offend anyone. Anyways, this went on for a bit...it was very time consuming especially since we had a train to catch. \n\nThe service is slow, they take a bit of time to bring out your orders but the menu states - \"Don't rush the silicians\" or something of that sort. Even with the bill, it took them a good 20 mins to figure out to divide a bill 3 ways, and the entire time the kitchen staff kept staring at us from their open kitchen, which was extremely uncomfortable. The owner did come and apologize towards the end, however the entire experience was uncomfortable, so I wouldn't go back. \n\nThis place is promising and does have some decent dishes, although they lack in seasoning. The service is slow, and owner will get offended if you return your dish, and the staff will stare at you the whole time. Before coming here, if you are on King St. W, try Cibo wine bar for Italian cuisine, not only great food but better customer service."^^ . . . "3"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
