Alice Fazoolis was fun and hip. There were many choices of pasta and everything seemed amazing. I had the agnolotti and it was to die for. We went early, around 5:30, so it was not busy at all, but I could see it would be hopping by the time we left. If you love pasta in a hip atmosphere, this... More

Hidden gem in the heart of Mississauga. If you like seafood, pasta, finger foods, steaks, this is the place. The decor and atmosphere were a plus. Family loved the whol thing. We will definetly go back. More

I have to confess the only thing we've ever eaten here, a couple of times, has been their crabs. Delicious. No problems with service and atmosphere and the prices are pretty much on the mark for crab, which is never cheap anywhere here. Worth a visit but only to the downtown location. We've heard inauspicious things about the suburban equivalents. More

The atmosphere on a sunny fall afternoon was wonderful. We enjoyed a variety of appetizers since none of the mains really stood out. We had been here many years ago when they had amazing crayfish. It would be nice to have them back. The service was very personable. More

We stumbled upon this place on a Saturday and sat on the patio, which is sort of hidden away off Adelaide. It's a cool little spot. The service was good, the food was decent and they had some pretty good drink specials on at the time. All in all, not a bad experience. More

I hadn't been to Alice Fazooli's in a long time, so we thought we'd give it a try. The menu has changed a lot and I found it difficult to find something that I actually wanted to eat. Each time I go, I find less and less that I like. That being said, I chose the Pasta di Mare which... More

Although it's just Alice Fazooli's now, it is great! Great service with recommendations. We had the appetizer trio, sausage and linguini, & spicy penne pasta. The meatballs on the appetizer menu were awesome - stuffed with mozzarella. My son had white pizza. Drinks were reasonable - Peach Bellini was the best I've ever had! Dessert - multi-berry sorbet was yummy.... More

We were visiting Toronto for a few days and stumbled upon Alice Fazooli's (although I don't think it's called the crab shack any longer?). We went in at 5 PM and were seated, no problem. The restaurant is large and very beautiful. I would recommend it for a birthday celebration dinner or a wedding rehearsal dinner. Lovely! Our food was... More
