It reminded me of the banquet halls that serve lunch when I worked near Steeles and Weston Rd. It has a nice selection of Italian-influenced dishes served cafeteria style, although I was hoping for Canelloni or Lasagna. My problem, outside and inside, was there was no indication of how to order and how much it cost. The server told me I should order one meat and any two sides. I did so and ended up with much more food than I wanted, and paid a higher price than I wanted – and I really didn't get what I would have wanted. The place was pretty much empty. A few people came in and bought food to go - such as soup I didn't know about. It seems you have to be in-the-know to get the best value. On the plus side, it is licensed and has better decor than similar places.
