The food is not flavourful, expensive, small portions
question: How is the food?, context: If I could give this place zero stars I would. Just another below average mall chain restaurant headlined by a celebrity chef charging outrageous prices for dishes that my Italian neighbour could make better. We only came here as a backup bc joey's yorkdale could not accommodate a group larger than 10. Beware - they also take your credit card for reservations and state that they will charge you $20 per person for no shows... Who the heck does that?! I ended up ordering a bunch of sharables w my friends. Crispy squid and mushrooms fritti aka battered mushroom spears. They were average... Not very many pieces. We were going to order the tomatoe bruschetta until the server told us it was only 1 piece of bread and not very sharable ($10 for 1 slice of bread - wtf?!). So we resorted to the garlic bread w sundried tomatoe and olive tapenade.. It was ok. Then we ordered the fungi, Margherita, and Parma pizza. They were the size of a small pizza.. Cut into 4. Honestly, you're better off going to Pizzaville and ordering their Margherita pizza and paying 4 bucks compared to this place. Or if you want great pizza.. Go to libretto downtown. Overall, this place doesn't deserve to be a part of yorkdale. The food is not flavourful, expensive, small portions. It looks nice, wooden decor, legs of Proscuitto hanging from the ceiling of the bar. Looks rustic, but everything else is a disappointment. Could not pay me to ever come back and eat here and would not recommend to anyone... Spend your money elsewhere.
