Classic Toronto venue. Ground level could use a decor refresh or reimagining but if you're looking for what you used to know this is the place. Delicious, fresh and unpretentious meals at a great price. Efficient friendly service. Top shelf.

The service was impeccable, prompt and professional. The portions were good, though the prices for each dish too high. Cannelloni tasted good but not much meat inside them, it mostly had cheese and that was on top. Tortellinis were a good portion. The butternut salad had good flavour.
