So you know a place is going to be amazing when there's an hour wait an hour and a half before it closes.
I decided to bring a friend here after a show at Roy Thompson Hall thinking that it wouldn't be packed. Wrong. We were the last people they put…More »
Buca has renewed my love for Italian food.
The place has a rustic feel to it with exposed brick, high ceilings and meat lockers.
The menu changes occasionally and the current ones are date stampped
My friend and I shared the lamb brain app (2 pieces…More »

Mmm...almost bringing me back to Italy.
I've been to the now closed Victoria location a couple of times and finally made my way to the Adelaide location. The front of the restaurant if pretty interesting - a bar, few tables and part of a wall has…More »

I didn't make reservations since they didn't have any slots for 6:30pm. I was advised that they leave about 20 seats open for walk ins so my friend and I decided to give it a shot.
We got there at 6pm and waited for about 30 minutes - not too bad.

I came here after walking up and down the street looking for a restaurant to have a late lunch. This was the only one that caught my eye.
This restaurant was pretty much empty with the exception of 1 table of people when we strolled in around 1:30pm…More »
This is a great pizza place in an area where there isn't too much nearby and if you're looking for a place close to the Caltrain station, this may be the place you want to check out.
I came there on a Sunday night around 6pm without a reservation.…More »

To add to Steven N.'s review (yes, I was the friend that ordered the shrimp fettuccine), my dish was "off tasting" in the sense that it had a raw-shrimp flavour to it. I usually try to finish my plate but I had to pass on this one.
The chocolate…More »

This place is pretty nice, they did a good job renovating from the old Bistro 333.
I was seated and had water to start. He automatically gave me bottled water as I was waiting for my friend whereas the party beside me automatically got regular water.…More »
Came here with a few of my friends for dinner. Service was sufficient and while everyone thought their dish was great. One of my friends had the seafood risotto and thought it was one of the best risottos she's had so maybe it's the dish I…More »
The food here is pretty good and their complimentary bread is served warm (I'm a sucker for warm bread). The interior is going for the old Italian courtyard vibe with its red & white checkered table clothes, stucco walls, vines painted on the…More »
This place was better than expected. I've walked by this place a number of times but just never cared to go in...for whatever reason, I guess I had an impression that it had mediocre Italian food.
Anyway, their complimentary bread is served warm (I…More »
This was place was recommended by our wine tour guide so I expected this place to be pretty good but I was disappointed.
The waiter asked if we wanted San Pellegrino which we agreed to have (we were sick of wine after a full day of wine tasting) but…More »
They're not on OpenTable but their online reservation system on their site works just as well.
I had the Salumi app plate, which was delicious and had a great variety of meats. As for my main, I had the duck liver ravioli with Braeburn apples. The…More »

I've been meaning to try out Cafe Diplomatico for awhile since it seems to be such an establishment in Little Italy and the patio is packed in the summer.
I was expecting this place to be great but I'd have to agree with some of the other Yelpers -…More »

Thoroughly enjoyed my dinner.
I really like Terroni's on Adelaide so I finally made it to La Bettola with a friend.
The restaurant space is intimate with its dim lighting, small-ish tables.
I had their Antipasto della Casa which came with a variety…More »
