I had their pizza, it was good made from their stone oven but was a but pricey for the size. The staff are all nice and friendly. The ambiance was ok , spacious but it was loud.
We enjoyed a nice Sunday evening dinner here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday.
Service was fast and friendly. Our drinks, appetizers and meal all arrived in a timely manner.
The restaurant is located inside of CF Eaton’s Centre and most closely accessible if you enter the mall from the Root’s store sign on Yonge St.
The menu has a good amount of variety in terms of food, drinks and desserts. The seating provides a view of the outdoors (Trinity Square).
Prices are pretty reasonable but likely reflect the smaller portion size of the meals.
I would be happy to return for another visit.

Well,... what a surprise! This restaurant sits in the Eaton Center in Toronto, but this is not your typical "mall" restaurant.
Classic, homemade pasta... a very nice atmosphere and excellent service.
My wife had the homemade gnocchi in a light red sauce - absolutely wonderful. I had the seafood linguine, shrimp, mussels and calamari in a light and delicious cream sauce - best I've had!
Highly, highly recommend this as a spot for a great culinary experience!

Really not bad, Definitely take this rating with a grain or 2 of salt cause it's only from one experience and it's really not fair To make final conclusions from a one time experience.
And of course don't forget that individual people will have individual preferences which excuse their ideas of what is good and what is Not.
I had seared tuna with a whole bunch of pickled vegetables I think it was. It was like way too much pickled vegetables. They were too hard and crunchy and I really don't think that the sourness of the veggies with the flavor of the tuna blended well. The tuna was really good but I also really like tuna and I don't really like pickled vegetables so like I said, do you love pickle vegetables and tuna, this might be pickled vegetable and tuna heaven.

The restau was pretty crowded at this time but we were able to sit right away just one customer ahead of us at around 5pm. We opt for early dinner, we had steak which is just chewy I didn’t really like it but I am giving 5 stars because they’re very generous with their parmesan cheese 🤣 for my carbonara which tastes so good! I love the pancetta on my carbonara with yolk on my plate however their serving is just small. I had the best tiramisu in downtown toronto thus far according to me! And their washroom is very clean however people on wheel chair might need to use outside washroom because it’s at the second floor of the restau. Lastly, the background is not that appealing if you are near the glass windows because sadly there are people who are living in tent outside.
Quick sit down Italian food located inside busy Eaton Centre.
Ordered the Pan Seared Lasagna, Caesar salad and ice cream dessert. All items tasted great. Bolagnese sauce on the crispy edges lasagna was delicious. Caesar salad was fresh. Finished off with not too sweet scoops of sorbet and ice cream. Next time, we will order pizza as it looks great.
Decor of restaurant was modern, good mix of regular and bar seating. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. The only downside was that tables are placed very close together, so you can hear neighbors' conversations.

4.3 / 5.0 - better than the current Google score. Close to a 4.4 actually. I can see the reasons. But think of this as a semi traditional Italian Bistro in the mall. So quick hits:
1) Food is well made above average Italian. Don’t let the mall fool you. The owners have other locations as well. It’s semi-traditional Italian with flare.
2) Pizza was exceptionally- pepperoni were small cups with a nice cheese to sauce balance. We were surprised how tasty. Definitely recommend any pizza (I might consider well done next time - on the fence).
3) Tina albacore salad was nice, but
albacore belongs in a can, not seared. So unless you like Albacore- I’d pass at $30 - but salad was well rounded.
3) Polpette - 3 Meatballs was really tasty - good size and flavour - but not mind blowing. I’d considering ordering again, but not a dealbreaker.
Service was pretty strong on a Holiday. Polite, fun, accommodating. They added to the experience.
The location is in the Eaton Centre Mall - so I can understand the potential challenges. If I’m in the mall I’d go again and not hesitate.
Well done and appreciate our server.
