All the food I've tried has been good. Portions are large, lasagna is cheesy, pizza is fresh and they provide hot oil if that's your thing. And wash it all down with a silver chalice of mmmm gelato. it ain't Teroni's but it ain't trying to be. Simple Italian done simply. Can't argue with that.

I gave it a five because everything I've tried there so far is great and they have my favourite Marshmallow Latte which is perfect. I love the atmosphere at Faema. It's cozy and has nice warm lighting. The Crostata Di Ricotta is delicious try it if you get a chance. But make sure you try the Marshmallow Latte.

We ate there with three generations spanning both the Canadian and Italian branches of family. Alas, for a place that has its own pizza ovens and coffee making machines,...the pizza crusts were fairly ordinary and a cup of coffee could not be made to my specifications (half strength), so I landed up just ordering a filter coffee instead. Our waiter was somewhat pedantic Italians server their wine in tumblers not wine glasses and our bill seemed to be inordinately high (nearly per person...even though the majority of us only had one course and a couple of glasses of wine). I can understand why people who live in the neighbourhood return to this restaurant. There are plenty of tables with lots of space between them, a gelato corner for the kids and not too many other places to eat (other than, perhaps, Starbucks) nearby. I, however, would not go out of my way to eat there again.
