Review from h t.

This is located inside Monte Carlo Inn. The restaurant is relatively smallish. I only saw 2 waitors/waitress and the manager/ owner. There was a 4-course meal that included soup (lobster bisque/ clam chowder) or salad (cesear salad or smoke salmon salad), an entree from the menu, dessert (daily) and coffee/ tea.
I ordered the Clam Chowder for appetizer and Atlantic Salmon with Terriyaki sauce. The chowder was kind of fishy cause of the clams i guess. I have never had that happen to me before. The Atlantic Salmon took over 30 minutes to come after finishing the appetizer. When it finally arrived, the salmon was small. Rice/ pasta was available with the entree. I chose rice but never knew it would be that little. Also, the salmon, in my opinon, it was seared a little too long for my liking. The sauce was not Terriyaki. It was more soya sauce then sweetness.
Dessert was a mango mousse cake. They used have panna cotta but they didnt have it tonight.
Btw, if you plan on going frequently, then I recommend you getting the 10% discount card. The only bad thing is that you can only pay cash and not credit when using it. -

I could not stop smiling when I read the description on their website about La Piazzetta Ristorante, "Exploring Fine Italian, French and Mediterrean Cuisines".
The La Piazzetta Ristorante is located inside Monte Carlo Inn.
The deco of the restaurant is quite nice and charming. I was there for lunch and they do have set lunch for $6.99.
I ordered the Set Lunch A Meat Ball Linguine. The price is great $6.99 includes soup, garlic bread and drink.
Please beware you are not eating in a "fine" Italian restaurant. You are eating in a Hong Kong Style western restaurant.... then you will be ok.
The Russian Borscht soup is good and steaming hot! There are tons of fresh vegetables inside: cabbage and carrots. This Borscht does not really resemble any authentic Russian cuisine.. if you been to any Hong Kong Style restaurant you will know what I mean. I think they better off naming it as vegetable soup!
The pasta at least is Al dente. The sauce tastes like something you get from a can, same with the meat balls, some frozen ones you get from the supermarket. I have to give them credit for putting in fresh green/red pepper, mushrooms and onions in the sauce.
For the price and the environment as a Hong Kong Style Western restaurant I will give 3 stars. But as a Fine restaurant it is a 2 stars.
The service is nice and friendly and prompt!
They accepts all credit cards. Though there are some dinner specials are cash only.Listed in: Lunch Specials in Markham!

La Piazzetta Ristorante is a Hong Kong style cafe serving a Western menu located in a smallish Hotel in Markham. But everything is much more upscale than your typical HK style cafe except the pricing. This is my go-to place in the region when wanting a pleasant sit-down, but non-Asian meal at reasonable prices. I've yet to come across a close 2nd...thus the 4 stars here.
