Most of the other reviews I've read criticize the pricing and reluctantly I would have to agree. Great quality pies with lots of toppings but no other pizza place out there is charging almost $50 for one XL pie. 5 star pizza but 2 star pricing which brings my overall rating down to 4 stars. So far I've tried: Sweet italian Honey pork Gordon's favorite Will obviously return but this place is more for special occasions or potlucks imo.

I know its a small place but you don't even have an entry point. I feel like a panhandler begging for food. Not even that its also not safe to be handling money through a window out in the open. 30 may have been reasonable but I wont be coming back. And nothing special either. The Costco one actually tastes a tad better. Whats the point.

Upon entering we were greeted very favourably and offered us to sit in patio or inside. The weather was very nice but they didn't have any tables in shade so we sat inside. The decor is very rustic with lots of wood. It was aesthetically pleasing On to the food, we ordered for the 4 of us 1. Margarita pizza 2. Mushrooms pappardelle 3. Seafood pasta 4. Bolognese pasta Everything was done amazingly. The pasta was all al dente with amazing sauces The pizza was delicious and had a crispy crust. You could tell everything was homemade to order Overall we had a fantastic experience And We would come again I also recommend all Yelpers to try this place as well if you haven't already Fantastic establishment.

Service was superb with very friendly servers - so friendly that even my toddler with stranger anxiety liked them and engaged with them! Atmosphere and view were great since it was sitting on Toogood Pond. Inside was really cute too. Tables, chairs, and even the booster were clean. Zero complaints! The only thing is the washroom is the public park washroom so it's not the prettiest and cleanest; there were some bugs and some smell. In terms of the menu, there aren't a lot of choices for pasta but it makes sense since it is a bistro. Ordered the Mortadella & Burrata and Tagliatelle al Ragu. Both were really delicious and the pasta tasted fresh even though we don't know if it's fresh pasta. Had a really good experience here and would definitely come back! This spot is perfect for date nights since there are many small tables and the vibe is just a date night vibe!

There are restaurants that earn their success through great food, relentless hospitality, and years…read moreof hard work. And then there are restaurants that win the geographic lottery. La Fonte sits on one of the most enviable pieces of restaurant real estate in Unionville. Perched beside Toogood Pond, with a patio facing west, it offers the kind of sunset view that would make a mediocre sandwich taste profound. If you're taking an evening stroll around the pond, there is essentially one place to stop, sit, sip a cappuccino, and watch the day disappear. La Fonte knows this. And perhaps that's the problem. On a cool evening, we approached the mostly empty patio with modest ambitions. No elaborate dinner. No special requests. Just coffee, a couple of treats, and a front-row seat to one of the best sunsets in Markham. The greeting? "Do you have a reservation?" No. Reasonable question. What followed was less reasonable. Instead of the traditional hospitality playbook--"Welcome, let me see what I can do"--we were informed they were busy - did I mention the empty patio? And immediately questioned about whether we intended to order food - what does what we intend to order matter if a seat can be made available? We did say we would like a seat on the deck/patio. We explained that it was our first visit and, not being blessed with psychic powers, we had no idea what they served. Snarky attitude in check - with pleasantries exiting the oral interface. A menu was handed to us and we were instructed to step aside and review it. Step aside....???!!!??? As if there were crowds of eager diners stacked ten deep behind us... There was nobody. Not a single soul waiting for a table. No line. No rush. No visible crisis requiring crowd-control measures. Just an oddly defensive interaction taking place on a mostly empty patio overlooking a beautiful pond. The conversation somehow became more absurd from there. Every answer seemed to generate another hurdle, another question, another subtle suggestion that perhaps our presence was creating administrative difficulties. Eventually, we did what any rational person does when hospitality turns into a bureaucratic exercise: we left. The funny part came later. Walking around to the opposite side of Toogood Pond, we could clearly see people casually strolling onto the patio and taking seats. No interrogation. No menu review committee. No apparent examination of intent. Just people walking on past the gatekeeper and sitting down. Which naturally raises the question: Is the secret to dining at La Fonte simply to ignore the front-of-house operation altogether? Not that we'd ever do that. Most of us were raised to believe civility matters. You wait to be seated. You speak politely. You respect the establishment's process. But La Fonte provided a fascinating case study in how that social contract can break down. Because when courtesy is met with indifference, and curiosity is met with suspicion, one begins to wonder whether good manners are simply putting oneself at a competitive disadvantage. The tragedy is that none of this has anything to do with the food. The kitchen may be wonderful. The coffee may be excellent. The patio is unquestionably spectacular. The problem is that the first course served at any restaurant isn't food. It's hospitality. Perhaps what seems to be nepotism at the gates is not the best hiring practice. And on this evening, La Fonte managed to take one of the most beautiful dining locations in Unionville and make it feel strangely unwelcome. That's a remarkable achievement, though probably not the one they were aiming for. Carpe diem, indeed. Just don't expect anyone at the front door to help you seize it. JEERS!!!

A few weeks ago, I looked at my Uber Eats app and noticed that this Papa John's had a BOGO deal on…read morea number of pizza varieties. I had never been to Papa John's, so I placed an order after doing some grocery shopping on a Wednesday night. My first time seeing a Papa John's in my life was in Rochester, MN. You could buy a pizza and heat it up at home (it was called take-and-bake), or you could order pizza that was hot and ready for you to consume. My officemate ordered from Papa John's often. I never did. Sadly, Rochester doesn't have a single Papa John's left anymore. I ordered the following items: - 10" meatball pepperoni pizza (BOGO) - Honey chipotle chicken poppers I got garlic sauce for everything. I was excited to try it. My takeout order was expected to be done in ten minutes. Super fast. Sure enough, it was. This store is on the north side of highway 7. I pulled into the parking lot next to Papa John's. There were a handful of spots. The store's official parking lot is behind the store. I walked up the cement pathway to the store. There is a single outdoor table with chairs if you want to eat there. Otherwise, there are no seats inside the store for dining. I walked in and was greeted by a friendly woman. I indicated that I was picking up an Uber Eats order. She nodded and went to fetch it above the oven, keeping everything warm. I thanked her and headed to my car with my three boxes of food. Let's start with the pizza. Each pizza came with a container of garlic sauce and a couple of pepperoncini. The slices were not cut uniformly. I got one slice that could easily be two slices for a normal human. In turn, I got a dinky little one that could be considered finger food. The pepperoni distribution was great on the pizza. You got pepperoni in each bite. The meatball chunks seemed to indicate rationing. You got exactly one meatball chunk on each pizza slice. As someone who loves meatballs, I expected more. The crust was yummy. Chewy. Crunchy. Not soggy. It was great. I was trying to figure out where the garlic sauce had dairy in it. It does not. Yay! It tasted like melted margarine mixed with a mild amount of garlic. It was good and had a velvety texture. I ended up pouring it on top of each pizza slice. It became addictive. Verdict: Yummy, but I want more meatballs. I had enough pizza to last a couple more days. I love leftover pizza. Still delicious. No complaints here. I also had half the honey chipotle chicken poppers and the rest of them the next day. They are essentially white chicken meat in nugget form that are breaded and I assume oven-baked. They weren't greasy. The honey and chipotle sauces were drizzled on top. They were pretty good. I could do without the sauces on top. They tasted better dipped in the garlic sauce. Then again, I'm biased and would say that anything dipped in garlic sauce makes the main food item taste better. I had a wonderful first experience at Papa John's. I'd love to build my own pizza next time and see whether I get a slice a mushroom on each pizza slice or if rationing is lifted. (198)

Smashing good brunch?…read more Smash Kitchen has been on our list to visit for a while till we finally had the opportunity. For more than a dozen years, this Markham spot has been known for good flavors and portions. The weekend brunch menu from 10am - 2:45pm had an assortment of creative dishes. We opted for their LA mac & cheese ($25) with a saucy cheese blend textured by herb crumbles. The soft shell crab benedict ($24) looked irresistible with two nicely poached eggs beside crab drizzled with maple buffalo hot sauce. While it came with no sides, bites of the whole fried soft shell crab on brioche toast were scrumptious. The inside of this restaurant is cavernous, featuring even a private room and patio. It's much larger than the dated plaza entrance would indicate. Staff were generally active at the tables, even delivering colour sheets to young ones. Skip it or hit it? It was a long time coming but brunch here didn't disappoint. Hit it!

Service however was just decent later on but we noticed there were a lot more people came so our server was probably really busy due to the influx of diners. The food did come pretty fast though, about 20 minutes after ordering, so that was really good! We ordered the Fettuccine Al Funghi E Scaglie Di Tartufo Nero and Bologna. Both were really delicious. We added chicken for the pasta but I'd say even without it, just the mushroom itself was sufficient already! I had it once before and came back this time for more because it was that good! The pizza was quite interesting since I've never had pistachio pesto on a pizza before but it actually tasted pretty good and blended nicely with the mortadella. I'd have it again if I were to come back! Overall a pretty decent dining experience and would come back for the same food!

Tip: This restaurant has a market where you can get dried pasta, snacks, gelato, and more…read more On Wednesday, I had a wonderful early dinner at Good Catch Cafe and Bar. Sadly, this eatery didn't have a dessert menu. I wanted something small to satisfy my sweet tooth, as I was stuffed. I wondered if Costa Sorrento had dessert that I could take home. I walked over to this restaurant. I was already parked in the lot across from Good Catch. I walked in. A small market was in front of me. Gelato was on my right in the freezer. Yay! A male staffer came over to greet me, who was a bit hard of hearing. I let him know that I was here for the market. He nodded and let me be. I was so happy to see candy, sugar, salt, pasta, chocolate, and a lot more. It was wonderful. I got these items: - A small cup of Biscoff gelato - Black truffle luxury mixed nuts - Frizzy lemon candies I asked the man where I could pay for these items. He guided me to the cash area at the bar. The downside to this market is that you don't see prices. He knew how much the gelato cup cost. He didn't know about the other two, so he had to call a colleague. It's funny, but it ended up being a group effort to figure out pricing and cash me out. Two other female staffers also joined in. It's not exactly a cheap market. I suspect that the mixed nuts and lemon candies were imports. They were $10 each. My small gelato was $5. I'm glad that I didn't commit to getting a pint. What if I hated what I had? I also wanted a small dessert, so it worked out. I paid with a credit card. I tapped. Done! I asked if I could get a spoon for my gelato. One of the nice women went into the back to get one. The other woman let me know that they used to give out big spoons, but had gelato spoons now. I got a blue spoon with a napkin from the woman. Service is great here. I thanked everyone and left with my goods. I declined getting a bag, as I was parked closed by. I enjoyed my Biscoff gelato in my car. It was yummy. I'd get the pint next time. It had bits of Biscoff that were so flavourful in creamy gelato. OMG! It was delightful and the perfect dessert to end my meal. Yesterday, I devoured my bag of black truffle mixed nuts. If you love black truffle oil and mixed nuts, grab a bag. The cashews, walnuts, almonds, and more were huge. I'd get another bag in a heartbeat. Tasty! I may have to come back and get the black truffle potato chips next. I'm sure they are equally as yummy. I haven't tried the lemon candies yet. I hope that they are delightful. It was great dropping by to check out the market. I hope to return and have some pasta next time. (215)
