We were in town for a wedding in Brampton and needed somewhere to go for dinner near the hotel…read more The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and it was not overly dressy which is what we wanted. It was a great find!

My Uncle Dan is straight out of a movie. The most Italian man you could ever think of. Straight out…read moreof the Goodfellas, thick accent, wife beater, gold chains, etc. He has more money from his construction business than he knows what to do with. He's in his twilight years of working so these days he mostly spends his time making his own red wine from scratch, hunting turkeys, and growing vegetables in his garden. He clears the vibe check. I'm yapping now, but all this to say he picked Il Gatto E La Volpe for dinner so I knew this food was gonna SMACK. We started with margherita pizzas for the table, arrancini, calamari, and a couple bottles of red wine picked by Uncle Dan. My Mom got the gnocchi bolognese, which I knew I would get 80% of as she eats like a mouse, so I went with the Florentine steak. I hate to be corny and say "everything was sensational," but everything was sensational so Imma leave it at that. My favorites were the gnocchi bolognese and arrancini though, as I had never seen gnocchi bolognese on a menu. It honestly should be a more common dish. I'm making a prediction that by 2029, gnocchi bolognese will be a standard item on all Italian menus. Service was great, vibes were up, and this was just a great place to enjoy some much needed family time over some red wine. These haters got me stressed. SHOUTOUT TO UNCLE DAN!

This is a small old style italian restaurant in a strip mall just south of 7 near Ansley Grove. Has…read morebeen around for 20+ years. Food (3.75/5) - they have a good selection of items on the menu and a couple of specials of the day as well. - Vitello ai Funghi - veal cutlets in a seared assorted mushroom and white wine sauce. It was just ok imo... the veal was a bit chewy and not tender as I was expecting. Sauce is ok bit understated. - Tortellini alla Bolognese - veal filled tortellini in a homemade Bolognese sauce. This was a nice dish with a nice flavourful Bolognese and tortellini cooked properly. - Cozze Marinara - mussels in a marinara sauce with garlic, onion and herbs. Cooked properly and a pretty good broth to dip bread into. - Complimentary bruschetta with a sauteed pepper/onion garnish was provided - not great imo... too dry and lacked flavour. Service (4.5/5) - pretty strong and service-oriented. Seated quickly and well attended multiple times by server and assistant. Atmosphere (4.25/5) - it is quite small with maybe 10 tables total. White tablecloth and wood look... quiet place designed for dates and families. Overall (4/5) - It is a solid Italian restaurant overall. I can see it being popular with locals looking for a quiet dinner spot. I was hoping the food would be more extraordinary however could be the selection of items we had.

We started with the fried calamari. It was really crispy and hot. Came out quick too. We ordered a few pastas. The pasta with meat balls was our favourite. The mushroom ravioli was good but started tasting a bit sweet after eating half of it. We also had the sausage pasta and enjoyed that too. Seats about 40 to 50 people so make a reservation on the weekend. Warm tasty pasta with bold comforting flavours, perfect for when you have an Italian food craving. Service is great too. They helped us read the Italian menu. Kept refilling our water and brought out some bread to start the meal. Nice clean washroom too.

I'll start by saying the food and service was very good. The restaurant itself could use a refresh…read moreof the floors and walls. It's not bad but given the cost of our meal for 4, I would expect a nicer looking interior. I chose the restaurant based on the menus I saw on Yelp. Unfortunately, they were out of date - both the selection and the prices. (I've uploaded new ones). We had a Caesar salad, mixed salad, and garlic bread (no cheese). The taste was great but the salad portion, for the cost, was too small. For the mains, we got a Pasta al LaCampagna, 2 Pollo alla Fiorentina and a Pollo alla Griglia. All the dishes were tasty. The chicken breasts were, perhaps, a little on the smaller side. Last was desserts. We got a tiramisu and tried to get gelato. We ordered a hazelnut gelato and strawberry gelato. The waiter brought us the tiramisu and the strawberry gelato and apologized, saying that the hazelnut gelato was freezer burnt. So, we asked for the chocolate gelato. And that too, was also freezer burnt. So, we ended up with just the two desserts. The lattes were tasty and good. So, it was a good experience and I would return. Just know, that this is not a fancy restaurant, but it comes at a fairly high price.

The food was excellent, and the service was just as good; attentive without being over the top. I hadn't been in a few years, and this visit definitely reminded me why I liked it in the first place.

This is a very busy location not far from YYZ. Has a large…read morebar area and a variety of separate rooms for regular or private dining groups. I recommend reservations, especially on weekends. They are open late. The servers were very pleasant and checked on us often. We had a couple of non alcoholic drinks, then the Charity bread followed by their Chicken Parmesan. My friend substituted the regular noodle (like a lasagna noodle) with gnocchi for an up charge. The charity bread was actually cold which was a surprise. I thought it would be warm with fresh mozzarella on it. It was ok but less so than if the bread had been warm. I was really looking forward to the chicken Parmesan, as it had been described as noodles tossed with Alfredo sauce, on a bed of red sauce. But mine were incredibly dry - felt like they had hardly tossed it with any kind of sauce, and I'm not sure that there was any red sauce, even on the bottom of the plate -- that was very disappointing. The chicken itself was OK nothing to write home about. It was an OK place but no more than OK and I wouldn't go back there in a hurry. I have been to other Scaddabush restos before at other locations and my experience there was better. I will say that the thing that I like the most about it was the service. The servers were all really good. But the food was meh - just so so. I would've probably given a 2.5 if I could give a half point. it's part of a complex where there's a lot of different restaurants. So tons of parking, which is very good.

An Unforgettable Evening at Zafferano Ristorante…read more Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating two of our family members at Zafferano Ristorante. Although we're not from Toronto and had never been to this restaurant before, our friends had booked a large section of the venue for over 30 guests--so we really didn't know what to expect. What followed was nothing short of amazing. We started the evening with some beautifully crafted cocktails. The drinks were delicious, and our waiter was quick to offer creative twists on our usual favourites--setting the tone for the night ahead. When it came time to sit down for dinner, the experience only got better. They kept bringing out plate after plate until we could barely move! The food was phenomenal: every dish was full of flavour, perfectly served at the right temperature, and visually stunning. A special shoutout to our waiter, Alex. He was outstanding--attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring our glasses were full and that every new course arrived with perfect timing. It was an incredible night and the perfect way to kick off our vacation. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and memories we'll talk about for a long time.

The meal kicked off with some nice warm, bread that was crusty on the outside and moist on the inside. We shared a few appetizers including Burratina, Gnocco Frito, and Margharita Pizza. The pizza had a nice mildly spicy sauce which made for a very delicious pizza. The Gnocco was fried pizza dough balls with garlic, Parmesan and a drizzle of honey. It normally comes with Prosciutto but we ordered it without to make it vegetarian. The mix of flavours was really unique and delicious. The Burrata was good but the other two appetizers stood out more. For entrees, we had the Spaghetti Genovese and the Stuffed Gnocchi. Both were excellent. Highly recommend this place.

Close to both home and work I have driven by here many times…read more The space is smaller than I thought it would be. There are about half a dozen tables and the rest of the space is kitchen. Menu is one page consisting of salad, pizza and pasta. 3 options for dessert. Pizza is Roman style. Prices are on the higher end with pastas priced between 15 and 22 bucks. Portions are generous though. There is no complementary bread with your meal. We arrived for lunch at noon and there was only 1 other table and as a result service was good. Staffing was 2 people. I ordered the pollo affumicato which is a cream white sauce with spinach and smoked chicken on tagliatelle. Couldn't tell if the chicken was smoked but pieces were generous as was the spinach mixed through. Because it was cream sauce it was a heavy dish. All three pasta dishes came with grated Parmesan on the pasta already so if you don't like, best to mention this when ordering. Someone at the table ordered an expresso to end off their meal and it came with a little cookie. Great neighborhood spot for a quick meal or takeout.

After many years I've come back to eat here in the restaurant. It's a small place with a handful…read moreof tables and some counter seating. This time we ordered two pastas and a Caesar salad. The salad was decent; crispy and refreshing. The pastas had good texture as expected for their specialty made in-house. However, the sauces were far too oily and toppings were in short supply, making the dish unbalanced. There was basically a puddle of oil left on the plate when I finished. I was quite disappointed compared to my experience during the peak of COVID. Overall, while the pasta itself was good, I would not return due to how they cook the pasta.
