Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Yonge and Eglinton

All the food was excellent, heads up portions are massive, every starter/salad/side is sharable. We had the Caprese salad to start, which was incredible, if I had any critique of it, could have used a bit more balsamic glaze there were more than a few bites without any glaze on the tomatoes at all. As well, the tomatoes were so large that there wasn't even a 40/60 split of cheese to tomato which I think is the perfect ratio for this salad, who doesn't want cheese in every bite? The steaks were phenomenal, no question, can't go wrong. Almost so good, it is a wonder they don't put the main entrées in appetizer format so people would actually order them. The duck fat fried French fries were tasty, but I did find a lack seasoning to them. I found myself putting the steak salt into the ketchup just to add some seasoning to the fries due to how thick each fry is, not sure if that is intentional but just an observation. I would consider asking kitchen to salt the fries with any of the 3 salts before it gets to table so they can hold the seasoning better being fresh out of the fryer. The lobster Mac n cheese was excellent, period. Creme Brulee for dessert was delicious the berries were fresh and the cream was delicious. Service was top quality, only critique is that I found it took the service longer than 5 min to initially approach our table for initiating drink orders. Not a huge deal, but was sitting there wondering "wow, I'm surprised we haven't been seen by a server yet" And maybe a minute or two later he showed up, so do with that what you will. All in all, I would definitely go back for a special occasion. 4.5/5

We celebrated our 4 year anniversary, and it was such a nice experience. This was the first time in a long time that we felt the staff was caring about our experience. Everyone was so incredibly polite and charming. The food is always good, but for us what really set it apart was the customer care.

Such an enjoyable and delicious lunch. Our waiter, Allesandro, was very attentive and humorous. He always makes our lunch experience so pleasant!

Food was outstanding and service was great. I recommend the Giulietta pizza.

We have been coming here for years. We love the consistency of the food which is always delicious. The Penza and the Puttanesca pastas always rock!!
