We went for pasta dinner this evening before the marathon (SWTM) tomorrow morning. We also invited a friend of ours we haven't seen for 25 years. All was good at the beginning however, once we didn't order alcohol and big drinks, things changed. From that moment forward, the waiters was too rushed and she even told as that she is doing this - they are too busy because of then run, concert and so on. This obviously made us rushed or as if we should not take long to order or should not over stay our welcome. The food was very good but portion is half of the size we had the last two years we visited Toronto for the same reason. As we're enjoying our meal, the waiters's comment was rude and unacceptable and not only what was worst was the dessert. We ordered one Tiramisu because not all three wanted the full dessert. The tiramisu presentation looked like two sides of the piece looked like as if someone scoop a bit out of the piece. we mentioned to the guy who seemed to be the owner but he was defensive because we know we saw the waitress talking to him once we told her to calm down. when we told her she is rushing us and she need to cool it down, instead of apologizing, she got upset almost to tears and angry. This waitress is not the right person for this kind of restaurant, I don't think she loves her job or being around people. Too bad the owners don't care that much about losing regular customers.!! I am sure there are other Italian/pasta restaurants in Toronto! read more
