Laura AMay 17, 2015Love the ambiance! The menu has an inclusiveness that makes everything easy... soup or salad, coffee and ice cream all in when you order a main. If you have not been... you must go!!!
Lily JungFebruary 8, 2014Great devote and it has a variety of food. Weekday lunch service is slow. Always count on an hour and a half. Delicious garlic butter at the table. Regular butter is available upon request.Upvoted Jan 18
ImperfectlyWorthyAugust 24, 2014GREAT late dinner last night, food was AMAZING! But service was a tad lacking(especially since it was pretty empty), and the live music from bicycle club was competing w the music in the restaurant.
PaulMarch 31, 2013It's like walking into "olde time" Toronto here. As one of the few places you can say you went to as a kid and now can bring your kids, it's a great kitschy restaurants w trains, memorabilia & more.
Aimee BrewerJuly 10, 2018So many gorgeous artifacts. My girls loved the carousel! Great staff, great food, great ambiance.
Trish RaFebruary 28, 2016The complimentary bread and garlic butter was my favorite!! Great ambience and quick service too!
- David MillerApril 13, 2013chicken parmigiana was delicious. The chicken tasted like it was freshly cooked and not from a freezer. I had the new York cheese cake.Atmosphere is 8.5. Greeter was very funny. Overall I'd give an 8
HanBi KDecember 17, 2014Great for family dine out. Fun atmosphere and servers are nice. Food is ok-just like any other fam dinning places
Nicolas St-AmourAugust 28, 2014The Spaghetti Arrabiatta with Italian Sausage is great. The ambience is loud during dinner rush, but it's accessible and good for families with kids.
Tomas LegorretaOctober 2, 2015Decent portions and decent price. Food is good. But the place by itself is awesome. It really is worth taking a camera with you
Berker SaygınJanuary 31, 2015It's good for meet with your friends but pasta prices very expensive and my opinion that's not delicious than yours homemade pasta but at least once time you should go for see ambiance.
Jonny BlazeMay 3, 2015We come back here every year for our Anniversary. Everything has always been fantastic!
Daniel LuiJuly 4, 2011When I went here for lunch on Friday July 1, 2011 with my friend, we were treated to excellent service from our server. The food there was great as well but the food is a little pricy though.- Justin LeongSeptember 5, 2013The meat lover flat bread and meat sauce spaghetti are amazing ! Also look for Sabrina, the friendliest server ever !
Jacquie ADecember 13, 2012A great deal! A 3 course meal is affordable and delicious. I've never had a bad experience.
Kelly GMarch 14, 2013Kids love this place! Don't miss it whole in town. Come early evening to avoid wait time!
Tiffany DangMay 24, 2010For big parties, expect a 10-15 seating wait. Water is usually served prior to ordering & there's a semi wide selection of drinks. I recommend ordering the meals with chicken, very moist and tender!
Spicey Spaghetti Meat Sauce is awesome, just for whatever reason, took an hour after ordering.
Dan WitherApril 10, 2019If you like pasta this is the place to be. You don’t walk out hungry you walk out saying I’ll be back.
Honestly a modest quiet place to go out on a date and talk. Little gem of Toronto in my books.
Joe SawagedOctober 1, 2012Food is great here. It gets very busy, I recommend you make a reservation before going.
A landmark in Toronto! Hard to find service and food like this in Toronto anymore. There is always something new to discover with their decorations
Tara VaughanDecember 9, 2012If the wait is long, go into the Amsterdam bicycle factory and you can get all the same food.
Andre RoyAugust 8, 2011The penne with chicken is to die for, and also love that 3 courses are included in the price.
Chris WokralAugust 27, 2011Love this place. Good food, friendly staff, and great environment. It's just cool!
Great environment, service and food, try the steak with spaghetti, delicious
Jan MacDermaidDecember 10, 2012I've been here before and it really sucks. The same old, however this time I was given a bonus in my salad: a long hair. Husband's meal was wrong & we waited 45 min for this substandard, bland food.
