   We showed up for our reservation of 12 on Saturday at 7 PM. There were no tables available besides a table of 4. The girls face when I told her our group amount and the reso time was pure shock. She said she would look into it then proceeded to walk away and continue on with her day… she didn’t come back for an update. Another group showed up at the same time with 8 people. We kind of laughed together saying there’s zero chance they can fit everyone. There were 2 people working for a full restaurant and I heard a lot of apologies being made to tables while waiting for our reso. This wasn’t a good sign so we decided to leave. We planned our evening around this and had 4 kids with us. We then had to find somewhere else to go which at 7 on a Saturday of a jays game is very hard. Very frustrating. Please manage your reservations more properly.

   Food was ok service was horrible. Half the staff were smoking outside my window while one waitress was barely keeping up with 3 tables. Received our food and then extra plates were wet. Considering how Un-busy the place was it should have been way better

   Our server (Kelly) was horrible. Her attitude towards the entire party was disgusting. She was only nice to us when it was "Tip Time". She seemed bothered the entire night . I get people have bad days but to the experince a horrible one was uncalled for. I booked a party for 10 for a 40th bday party ....people came from out of town. It was embarrassing and I will definately be writing a google review on this. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

   I made a reservation thinking that the patio would be open due to no indoor dining because there were reservations available to be made. Google also said they were open, but they weren’t. When I got there I thought that I may have gone to the wrong location but I was at the right one. I called and the voicemail also directed me to making a reservation online. Really upset that I went all the way there for it not to be open for even takeout.

   They were late opening so we actually thought they had closed - the server started off busier with setting up and catching up - it appeared she didn’t know we had a booking for noon and therefore wasn’t rushing. After a disappointing start service improved and ended on a good note.

    Food was fine, but the service was absolutely terrible. We practically had to beg to be seated or have our order taken despite the place being empty and multiple staff lounging around. Would not return or recommend to others. None of the staff wore their masks properly, or checked vaccine cards. 0/10 is my actual rating.

    I had massage therapy nearby Rustica this morning and since I had a craving for pizza, I booked at this place, which I had dined at before, pre-pandemic. I booked for noon. I get there at quarter to, doors are locked. No one is inside, lights are out except for mandatory security lights, as in most shops. I am thinking perhaps they open right at noon? So I wait until noon. No one comes, same situation. I try to see if there is another entrance. Zero. Zilch. Nada. What's weird is that both on their website and at the door, it says open 24 hours. What the hell ? I went to Earl's instead where I had..... chicken wings! If a place is closed due to Emergency, at least, put a sign in the door! I called the number on the website. Voicemail, box full, can't leave a message.... Don't waste your time! Go elsewhere.

    Pics on webpage and google are deceiving. Place is more like a take out stall than a restaurant and bar. Food was very bad. Calamari felt like chewing on rubber tire. Got 7 morsel size shrimp, smaller than going to Popeyes. Pizza was nothing special.

    Service was slow despite the restaurant not being busy. Apparently they only had one corkscrew and it was broken. They had to get that and a bottle of wine from their partner restaurant around the corner.

    To be honest I was a little disappointed. I only came because I read that there was vegan cheese. And when I arrived and ready to order I was told there was no vegan cheese that night. I ate pasta that was way overpriced for what was in it, and portion size.

    What once was a restaurant that used quality ingredients and baked delicious pizza in a stove oven has been replaced by a very sorry excuse for Italian fare. Too many choices in Toronto - trust me, avoid this one.

    The food was horrible and the place was unpleasant overall. For starters, our table was not wiped down or cleaned - which is even worse given we’re in the midst of the Covid outbreak. Overall I have no idea why this place has such good reviews. It’s horrible. Our waitress was also very awkward and seated us under some heater sticking out of the wall outside, so my boyfriends neck was literally squished and we were just overall very uncomfortable and unimpressed. The only redeeming quality about this place is that it’s open 24/7 so it’s I guess convenient for people who want something to eat after going out drinking.

    Great, friendly service. The pizzas were delicious (we had the Calabrese and sicilian) Our friend loved his Ceasar salad. Theatre district was very close by. Bright and airy with large screen TVs playing sports. The only complaint would be that the background music was a little loud but I would highly recommend it.

    The food was mediocre. My friend’s pizza was soggy in the middle and burnt on the edges. My pasta was flavoured well but the pasta itself tasted like pasta you buy in a box from the grocery store. Place was beautiful though and good service.

    My friends and I chose this restaurant because it came up as having vegan options and was accommodating of allergies. When we got there after making our OpenTable reservation, the table was not ready and cleared for us and we had to wait for them to get that ready for us — which should have been the first red flag. We asked the server about their vegan options and whether they can prevent cross-contamination with nuts. They advertised vegan cheese on their menu and that their pizzas can be made vegan. The server came back and told us that the kitchen is out of vegan cheese and that they can't guarantee that there's no cross-contamination. The server offered us salad — which is just about the last thing anyone wants when they're trying to order a pizza. So we left. There are some terrible reviews of this place online but I decided to take a chance on it. Unfortunately, this was one of the cases where the reviews were true. There were also a few reviews that said that the kitchen was out of vegan cheese, so this wasn't an isolated incident. I suspect that the kitchen never had vegan cheese to begin with. They shouldn't be advertising this on their menu if they don't have it. Their website is completely broken so we didn't have a way of verifying the menu beforehand. In a city with no shortage of great pizza spots, and ones that can do way more to ensure they can accommodate dietary restrictions. Do not recommend.

    Severely understaffed during last Wednesday lunch. One server desperately tried to keep up with dine in and take out. When I suggested he should let guests know as they come that the kitchen is hopelessly backed up, it didn’t seem to register; he kept saying he prioritized my order and that’s the the best he could do. Net, despite making reservation I had to leave with my pizza in a box after waiting one hour. It was doubly disappointing because I took my son and his friend as they were visiting for ‘take your kids to work’ day, and it turned out this way. Left a 20% tip for the server because he was working so so hard. Management need to either staff up or give the server authority to potentially refuse business or at least be able to inform clients of long wait time. Server seemed afraid to so that.

    Our waiter/host, Doug, was the highlight of the evening. It was amazing watching him command the room and handle the sudden crowd of tables that came and went while we were dining. He was personable and informative throughout the entire experience. Our food was amazing as well. We dined on several different pastas and pizzas that the entire table shared. I was with friends from out of town and they were very impressed with the quality of each dish and at reasonable prices. This place is a must for your casual dining.

    The menu on the website once you booked through OpenTable is incorrect. They changed the menu from the last time I was there and the food was dry and over cooked. The service was good but that was about it.
