Our food was delicious and came super quick. The patio doors were open which made the restaurant very breezy but other than that it was a great family meal. Just like Nonna would make

We arrived early, asked to be switched to rooftop patio which we got. Service staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu options older traditional fare which we normally enjoy. Surprisingly for the cocktails they were out of several spirits (and the LCBO strike ended a couple weeks back). What we did drink was good. We had the Bruscetta for an app, the flavours were off and tomatoes over ripe and soft. Was not very good. Partner has a pizza, was little under cooked, the sauce had no flavour or seasonings and was acidic and the artichoke were huge chunks, too big to put in to mouth. I had the Chicken Parm but swapped the spaghetti for fettuccine. The chicken was so hard and dry almost like it was either microwaved or recooked a second time when reheating, the pasta noodles half very hard (not undercooked but dry like they were exposed in an oven). Overall the food was quite disappointing and we were surprised after looking at all the previous reviews. Food portion sizes are very large except the pizza size was just right. Not sure we would return due to the substandard food taste and quality. The rooftop patio and staff were great.

We came because of the 4 and 5 star reviews. We ranked it a 2 star. Start of the event was good - seated on the roof patio, however, the service staff was highly disengaged which killed the whole vibe. Waited a long time for a server to come for our drink order (then were told no rum available at the bar- no explanation and no alternatives offered). Server disappeared then returned with only one of three drinks. Had to go find the server when the rest of the members of our party arrived. Waited a long time for the drinks again, and then a long time for a new server to take our food order. It was a very hot late afternoon. It was clear it was hot at our table, but there was no offer to move us to a shady table, and staff saw us so infrequently, by the time we were going to ask other table options were gone. We found the menu offered very basic Italian for Toronto. It was excellent quality when it arrived at the table. No sign of management caring whether patrons were having a good experience. Wouldn’t do it again.
