The staff here are consistently friendly, never pushy, and just seem to know how to keep things moving while still keeping it welcoming. Honestly, I don't even know what I'd complain about here. Only thing is I really wish they had panettone year-round. That's it. Otherwise, this place checks all the boxes whenever I need a reliable coffee and dessert break.

I got a small Nutella donut and the jam / pastry cream filled croissant. The pastries and pizzas here are definitely very beautiful and made with care. Unfortunately the ones I chose were very sweet. The textures were perfect though, the donut was fluffy and soft, and the croissant had perfect layers. They also have a good wine selection, fresh pastas, and more Italian prepared foods for sale. I would probably come back to try their pizzas or other savory items.

I highly recommend the veal sandwhiches and Natesh pastries. The owners are so friendly and regularly can find them on the shop floor greeting customers or hanging at the cash register cracking jokes. I love it here and you will too.

They have selection of cheeses and deli meats, but I gotta say they lack a bit on the cost pricing. I think someone else said depending who you get and when, the price can change. I can see how that could be the case. Antipasti bar, nice selection of olives and other items. And the cannoli, generally I'm not huge fan of them but I'd say this one is my favorite.

First - the latte was super delicious. We both got latte with oat milk - they were extremely smooth, creamy but the beans were also dark but not overly bitter. It was perfectly rounded, and buttery. I can't wait to go back & try more variation of espresso drinks. Pastry wise, it was insane. The loukoumades delivered - it was super fresh with fragrant honey, and rich cinnamon powder on top. It was perfect with the coffee. The absolute peak, highlight of our meal was the Trigona. Holy s, that gotta be one of the best pastries I've had. The cream was smooth, silky, the pistachio was sweet and floral, and the phyllo? That was divine intervention. That last bite of the Trigona sent me straight to heaven. I'll be back often whenever I'm up north.

Such an authentic, quintessential Italian experience. From the dark green sofas and chairs, to the…read morebeautiful interior with warm cozy lighting ; sud for no is molto bene. I opted for the cappuccino, and a berry croissant. The cappuccino was perfect. Rich, smooth, and not overflowing with milk like many others. You can actually TASTE the coffee! The croissant was flaky, buttery and jam packed with a berry and custard filling which was yum. This place gets super busy on weekday afternoons so try and hit it at the right time. I went on an early weekend morning (opening time) and only one other table was taken. The only downside was that there were tons of flies ( as I said, a true Italian experience) and it ruined the vibe. Ended up taking my treats to go.

Came here for a business lunch on a Thursday. At 1144 the place was mostly empty, but by 1215 the…read moreentire restaurant and patio area were filled up. I would suggest reservations if you want to come at lunch hour. The restaurant is average overall. Some hits and some misses. I tried the octopus appetizer which was quite tender with a savory sauce. Save the sauce to dip your bread in! The bread was mediocre. I also tried their sausage pasta (tonnarelli alla norcina). It was cooked al dente by default, which was fine. The pasta was tossed in a garlic oil with truffle shavings and "spicy" sausage. There wasn't much flavour (the truffles weee somewhat aromatic, but there's not much else to taste) and their sausage was neither spicy nor was there much of it. Service was average, and there are definitely much better choices for lunch in the area in the same price range. 3/5 stars.

Really digging this place! It's by far the best restaurant to order through Ubereats in North York…read more My team ordered from here a second time and, similar to the last time, we all loved our orders! I ordered the pear walnut salad, which is quite highly recommended by others online. As I'm not a fan of cheese, I asked for a substitution of either avocado or grilled mushrooms - and was very pleased to find that they accommodated my request! There were meaty chunks and generous cuts of portobello. In fact, there must have been a whole portobello mushroom there! I also asked for a side of salmon, and received a large filet. My main two complaints about this order are: 1) The walnut brittle was falsely advertised. It was a sweet pumpkin seed mixture, with no walnuts. 2) I found my salmon to be slightly undercooked. It was a little too shockingly pink!

This place is one of the unassuming spots along Bathurst St. It's been on my radar for a while but…read morecould never find a reason to go in. Until my cousin recommended we go there for lunch today. It's a small, casual interior with a busy counter and kitchen in the back. Fresh baked goods don the visual field. The menu has between 20-30 items and cover soups, sandwiches, mains and salads. I ended up ordering one of their quiches and side salads. The salad was fresh with tons of crisp cucumber and tomatoes. Dressing automatically came on the side and was a nice, light vinaigrette. The quiche was also really light and fluffy with a flaky pastry crust. The hot and cold drink menu is extensive and covers pretty much anything you can think of! With various sizes available. I ordered a cappuccino which was hot with a modest amount of soft foam on top. Servers were attentive and did not rush you out. There was a steady stream of customers and I underestimated how busy it would be. Downside: parking is a serious issue. I probably could have walked there in the time it took to circle the block enough times to find a parking spot. Also, pretty loud but nothing compared to its competitor a few blocks south. Price point is reasonable. Restaurant appears clean and again food appears fresh. Definitely worth a try if you're going to be in that area of Bathurst.

This sandwich was definitely made from someone who knows how to cook Italian. The pieces of veal were thick, and tender; with the cheese melted all over, and sauce lathered on top of the veal. The bread was fresh, and tasty; definitely a very well-made sandwich! To be honest, I would have liked for the bread to be crunchier however, that is just my personal preference. In terms of the atmosphere, it was a small shop, with some seating in the front, and more in the back. This place is more for take-out therefore, the seating isn't the most comfortable, and it is dark in terms of the lighting. We did see other individuals coming in to dine as well therefore, there were a few of us in the restaurant at the same time. Service was top-notch, with the lady behind the counter bringing the food quickly, and asking us if we enjoyed everything once we had finished.

I asked for a bun and cheese and they gave me attitude like they were doing a favor to charge me extra. It was not a language barrier. Pasta was fresh and good but veal was dry and not hot. Chicken was just ok. Will not return. For $100 to feed 4 ppl, I'll keep driving to Etobicoke to Mama Martinos.

Expectation wise? Don't expect Michelin star chefs or fancy interiors. It's a very humble setup in a non-traditional office building with staff who go the extra mile to assist customers. My pasta was made on the spot by the same person who took my order and made my espresso. He was a very honest, hard worker who served customers while making the food and drinks from scratch. I watched him meticulously cleaning all the cooking equipment, espresso machine, countertops, surfaces, and cleaning the floors after serving his customers. I was very impressed by his work ethic and dedication. I tried the penne pasta with mushroom and sausage topped with Alfredo sauce. It came with garlic bread and salad. Their number one ordered meal. So good! The penne pasta with rossa sauce (rose sauce) came with chicken and mushrooms. I prefer the Alfredo sauce as it was rich creamy and delicious. However what made my experience a good one was the hospitality and attentiveness of the staff. In today's fast food world, good service warrants a higher star rating!

A very local lunch place in Mississauga near Hurontario and Britannia Rd. East. You can easily miss…read morethe building because the area is mainly nondescript brown buildings that house businesses and not restaurants. They are open for lunch only, website says 9 am to 3 pm. You order at the counter and have the option of eating in. The space is modern, bright and clean. The menu focuses mainly on sandwiches, salads and pastas. They have a daily special pasta. I ordered the best seller (chicken toscana) with a side salad. Sandwiches come in on a choice of breads but the focaccia is clearly the favourite. Prices start around 11.95 and go up. You can add a side salad or small soup for an extra cost but the Caesar salad is a bit more at additional $2.50. This is a pricier lunch for what you get. My sandwich and salad came out to $18.00. Sandwich was good. Generous pieces of chicken breast with grilled zucchini. For the final touch they press it between the panini press. If you are looking for an elevated lunch this is the place.
