This small restaurant just south of Bloor and east of Yonge is next to a parking garage and never interested me. Excellent value on the prix fix menu with choices that include their preferred dishes. Very tender Calamari and entrees we each had were excellent.

It's always nice to find a restaurant gem based on others' online reviews. Staying at the Marriot Bloor-Yorkville, we wanted something within a short walk and had Italian on our minds. Soon to be dwarfed by a high-rise accross the street, if you didn't have the address you might walk by. A small, but cozy dining room was staffed by... More

Larry truely makes this the most fun. His friendly nature is so refreshing. Had calamari and osobuco. Both excellent. Very cute little restaurant. Felt like I was in New York City.

we found this restaurant through groupon. We're trying to check out different restaurants in the city and write a fair review about every place we have dined in. For this italian restaurant, the menu wasnt too extensive. For dinner we ordered the gnocchi bolognese and chicken penne. Usually you can't really go wrong with pasta, unless it's undercooked. But the... More

Larry is the best! This waiter; one of the best I have ever had really makes this dinning experience, something to remember. When we first arrived; he immediately took our coats, and our gym bags since we came from the gym.- It was a great first impression. He then sat us, and was very friendly, outgoing and witty.- He joked... More

My colleagues and I went to Focaccia take-out for lunch earlier this week. We have gone there several times before but have never encountered such terrible service. We were served by an older lady in a wig who was very rude and unaccommodating. I am lactose intolerant so I requested for tomato sauce, instead of rose sauce. The lady rolled... More

Background One year ago, my fiance bought a Groupon for $25 giving worth $45 off Focaccia. Rhe Groupon was about to anyways, so we decided to give it a try on a Wednesday evening. Prior reviews on Trip Advisor and other sites seemed quite positive (although few in number). Note: anyone still interested in using your Groupon, you can't use... More

It's a very small restaurant, in an older setting, neither shabby nor pretentious. The menu selection is short but our party of four (two teenagers, mom & dad) each had different appetizers and entrees. Food was uniformly very good. We had fish, the kids pasta and brisket of beef. The fish (cod and salmon) were perfectly cooked. Our waiter, Larry,... More
