Tsk, tsk, Terr(ibl)oni. If I were your Nonna, I'd tie you up and beat you silly with a rolling pin. Your pappardelle ($16!) was a mass of doughey, pastey mangles that still tasted of flour. I had to pick out the scant add-ins of shrimp and artichoke,…More »

The super-shiny decor and barely legal servers should have alerted me that there's "TROUBLE AHEAD!" but I was fooled by the packed tables and the rumble in my tummy. The S.O. and I ordered spring rolls, pho tai for him, and bun with grilled shrimp…More »

Impromptu Yelp gatherings are great--except when they're at new hot-spots that have been getting far too much press and the entire GTA converges on them like paparazzi on fallen sports heros. The line-up for this place was insane on the random…More »

With its jaw-dropping Kill Bill interior, stylized primo tableware, and good-looking staff, this sexy Japanese fusion newcomer is like a Lamborghini Countach, till you taste the food and realize it has a Chevy engine.

I met Yelpers Christine C. and…More »
