A: Wow. Wow. Wow. Mille grazie to Corey D for suggesting Nostrano for lunch. It was a very welcome respite from the gloomy tunes playing outside. The reviews are stellar and on point, so I don't think I need to go into too great of detail. Allow me to give you just a few snippets... Decor: Is lovely, homey but still modern and minimalist. Large slab tables and a few booths, cool shutters and windows displayed on the wall and a beautiful bar. Menu: Also nicely edited. A small but mighty menu that will likely have something for various tastes. Do yourself a favor and get the orecchiette. It is beautiful - a moderate lunch sized portion is still ample and filled with perfectly cooked ears of pasta and sprinkled with delightful fennel sausage bits, root veg and a few greens. It is just smashing. Service: Friendly, knowledgeable and leaves you to enjoy your meal. Just what I was looking for. Do not overlook the desserts - the affogato is not to be missed! I mean, really, who would be able to pass up caramel gelato, sea salt, espresso, bombolini (donuts). Not this girl. I don't care how full you are, get the affogato.

Q: negative

A: These are a chain around the city and around Canada, so look at other locations for reviews. I was underwhelmed. The beef I had was adequate, the salad was OK, and the frites were good, but the only "sauces" for the frites were mayo, catchup and vinegar. I'm used to the boutique "frites" eatery "Brugge" in Indianapolis, where there are scores of sauces to choose from for your frites including a garlic aioli, and curry spice. The emphasis in this place is on STEAK and not FRITES. That's not a bad thing, and if you're hungry for some pricey red meat it isn't a bad place to go. The nice thing about this place is that if you order a soda it is served in a chilled glass bottle and you're given a chilled glass for it.

A: For the amazing price and the variety of food its not that bad. Some taste authentic and others almost hit the spot. But overall very good and full tummy!!!

A:
One of the best omelettes I've ever head. No kidding. Came here near closing time and didn't have to wait. Clean. Decent seating area. Good sized menu. Reasonable prices. Very friendly main host who came and chatted with us and welcomed us. Food came out quick. Excellent omelette with the cheese, spinach and chicken all blending in nicely. Throughly enjoyed the fresh avocado on top. Fresh flavorful crunchy hash brown. Great home fries but I liked the hash brown better. Yummy rye bread with butter. Good hot fresh coffee. Excellent waitress who kept the coffee flowing and was very pleasant. Love places like these with excellent food, great prices and a warm welcoming atmosphere. 5 stars!
