Our server was wonderful. Excellent pizza and fries as starters, really good. My son loved the burger. Super delicious. I had the Branzino with a side of squash, also delicious. The only let down was my husbands pasta bolognese, it was boring and tasteless unfortunately. Desserts were a 10/10!

We had a reso and were seated after just a minute or two. We were offered a free mini drink of prosecco which was a really nice start. We were waiting for a little bit before our server finally came back to us, but after that, she was great and the whole evening was a win. As a group of three, we shared an app that we all loved (the Szechuan chicken lettuce wraps) and then all of us really enjoyed our mains (a bowl, a burger, a steak). Specifically, the veggies with the steak had a deliciously roasted flavour with some char, and the harissa chicken in the bowl also had great flavour. We splurged and each ordered dessert and shared them, with not a complaint among us. Triple yums on the apple pie, chocolate molten cake, and the Italian donuts. The raspberry coulis, the ice creams, and the lemon cream on the sides were perfectly matched with the desserts. We ended the evening with full tummies and a bill of about $200, but every dollar was worth it. Surprisingly excellent meal, and the timing of the courses was perfect.

We absolutely love it at Anejo. The food is always delicious. We got the mail Zalal Saft tasting platter to share. By far one of my favourite appetizers there. I had three tacos. The beef, crispy fish and mushrooms. The beef was absolutely delicious. The crispy fish was good, but it needed some sauce on it so I added the salsa Verde from the sampler. The mushroom with walnuts was over seasoned and I would probably forgo it the next time but I’m glad I tried it at least once.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Eataly Don Mills, and it was an experience that truly captured the essence of Italian culinary tradition. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the distinct aroma of fresh pasta, sizzling meats, and fresh-baked breads filling the air. The layout of the store is impressive, offering a variety of Italian goods and fresh ingredients, but it’s the dining experience that really stands out. I started with a classic antipasto platter, which featured an array of cured meats, cheeses, and olives. Each item was carefully selected, and the quality was unmistakable—everything from the prosciutto to the pecorino was rich in flavor, perfectly complemented by the accompanying bread and honey. For the main course, I opted for a handmade pasta dish: pappardelle with a rich ragu. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of bite. The ragu was hearty and flavorful, making each bite feel like a taste of authentic Italian comfort food. The portion sizes were generous, and I found myself savoring every forkful. To finish off the meal, I couldn’t resist the tiramisu. It was indulgent yet light, with the perfect balance of coffee flavor and creamy mascarpone. A true Italian classic. The service at Eataly Don Mills was impeccable. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our experience was seamless from start to finish. It’s clear that the staff is passionate about Italian food and culture, making it feel like a little slice of Italy right in Toronto. VIVA ITALIA , VITA EATALY!

The dining and experience was the usual excellent quality, so keep that short. What i really wanted to mention is that my wife experienced a choking incident while dining. Very scary for her and all of our family. The response and assistance we received from the staff and the manager was incredible to say the least. One of the other waiters that was nearby dropped everything he was doing and RAN, and I mean RAN to get the manager who is trained for this situation. The manager is a big man, but he RAN to the table to provide assistance. By that time my wife expelled the object and was recovering, but I am confident if she had not this man would have known what to do to save her life! From that point his level of caring and compassion was something I have never experienced. My apologies but my wife is at work so I don't have your name sir, but we are forever grateful as to how you responded in our moment of need. Thank you Keg - manager, staff, of Leslie St Location. Cannot say enough.
