This is a great restaurant, great food, great service and great location. Specials were great, I had the chicken parm and loved it. Maybe a bit more music would be good. A brio float would ve a fun drink, desert. I highly recommend and we...are looking forward to the patio in spring/summerMore

Located in Little Italy, and a very simple and homely restaurant. The food is fairly good, the staff and the service was excellent. We had Bruschettas and Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo. It is a very relaxing and inexpensive restaurant and good for the price. I...definitely recommend it.More

First, service was great. But food was not. Ordered as two main dishes for lunch the minestrone and the caprese salad. The minestrone was dull, lacking any good flavor. The caprese salad was an embarrassment. The tomatoes were unripe and tasteless. The mozarella was almost...nonexistent. I should have sent it back.More

We went down to Little Italy excited to try some authentic Italian food and stumbled into this place. So happy we gave it a shot! From the outside, it is not fancy looking but it definitely has character. We sat outside and easily got a...table on a Friday late afternoon. Our server was super sweet and very attentive. We ordered arancini balls, a personal cheese pizza, a meatball sub, and a cheese calzone. Everything was delicious. Including the complimentary bread! I didn’t care for the marinara, though, but that is a matter of personal preference. I was also surprised that the calzone contained sauce inside, as that is not typical of a calzone, at least from the US. But it was still good. The others in my party enjoyed their meals as well. I would come back here again to try more of the food selections!More

Ate here twice during our regular visit to Toronto - once for breakfast , and again for Sunday brunch . Despite being busy , the staff remained calm and proactive . The food on both occasions was good quality , hot , and tasty ....The only slight grumble was the loud sports TV on Sunday - Premiereship football does not need high volume commentary to be enjoyable .More

An incredible Italian cafe/restaurant in the heart of Little Italy on College Street! With over 50 years of running, they have perfected their culinary offerings and service. The combination of quality food and attentive service is undoubtedly a recipe for a memorable dining experience. The...presence of a great patio adds to the charm, providing an inviting outdoor space to enjoy your meal. Exploring the flavors of Italian cuisine in such a historic and vibrant neighborhood must be a treat for the senses.More

Best place to watch soccer games. You can watch any game shown in Canada, while you eat or just drink. Pizzas are good, mussels in white or red sauce better. Calamari and scampi a little short on shrimps but calamari very nicely fried.

Food fresh, delicious - ambience great - and price was right ! Came here today for an afternoon family get-together. No trouble getting a table outside. We had beers and coke for drinks. All good. I had the Roadhouse Burger and (unsalted) fries. My partner...had a Chicken salad. My children totally happy with their choices. Road noise a slight problem today - but not the fault of the restaurant. Would definitely come back.More

Lovely patio which was perfect for our summer dinner (and more COVID-safe). A bit of a bumpy start as the bread that came out as a starter was kind of gummy and seemed like grocery-store quality. However, the rest of our meal was stellar and...we were all happy with our food. I had the pasta al forno and my companion had the calzone. Delish. The carrot cake was also fantastic, quite spicy. The patio can't be beat.More
