Positano Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

Nice location, but terrible service tonight.

Waiter came over immediately and told us the specials, then disappeared for about 30 minutes without taking a drink order. Then another 10-15 for him to make our cocktails, which were approximately correct, but essentially iceless amoung other problems. Then another 20-30 minutes and my host finally ordered a few appetizers for dinner. I knew if we should have ordered our mains as well, but didn't. The bruschetta and calamari were adequate and the bread came with no oil and balsamic vinegar, but a little bowl of marinara sauce to share. Finally, after one of our guests got up to get ice and cranberry juice for their drinks, we finally had our waiter come for the dinner order. My wife thought the arugula salad with Buffalo Mozzarella salad would be nice before our mains. It arrived with no hint of flavour or dressing, which was saved when I asked the Owner or Manager? for some balsamic vinegar and oil. Having now brought to Owner/Manager into our dinner service, I ordered a few beers and waited for dinner.

Our dinners arrived in 3 stages and we began to eat a decent flavourful meal of various pastas and my wife the short rib special, which I sampled and found tender, but lacking any distinct flavours.

Having now completed the meals, we were given dessert menus, which seemed to have some tasty possibilities. Unfortunately, our waiter disappeared for about 30 minutes again to clean and dry wine glasses for tomorrow and never came back to get our dessert and coffee orders. When he finally found us again, I just laughed and asked for our bills. He returned shortly and had to ask each of us what we had for dinner, so he could ring up the separate bills. Enough said.

Nice people, but perhaps the staff we had need some remedial service tips and should pay attention to timing and the not leave the patrons sitting for more than a few minutes at a time.

I can not recommend this restaurant, mainly because of the poor service.

Note: Having now read many positive reviews it appears this restaurant may be hampered by the service of one bad waiter? Most have experienced excellent service, but a number of us have had a difficult time with someone who perhaps isn't cut out to...

A cozy quiet restaurant located in Eglington that suits a casual date or a dinner with friends. The place is not big, it fits a few tables but more than enough to enjoy a pleasant meal.

The menu doesn’t offer a large variety of options, but gives you enough idea to know how this restaurant looks like. The ingredients are fresh and the plates are cooked at the moment, which is always what makes the difference from other restaurants.

I tried the Pepe pizza to start, and the doygh was greatly achieved and tasted very good. It wasn’t oily but juicy at the same time. I missed a pinch of salt but overall I enjoyed it.

I continued with the Paccheri al Ragu, a typical italian dish where you can tell if the chef applies some love on the plate. In this case, the recipe tasted good, but it wasn’t extraordinary. Same happened with the risotto, the recipe was correct and all ingredients were mixed into a single plate. However, something was missing on those two plates.

Ribeye was also on the table and it was actually very tasty and savory. Accompanied with some truffle slices, pesto sauce and a side of potatoes made the whole plate an excellent combination for the taste buds. The Ragu with mashed potato, however, was dry and lacked of flavor. Same thing that happened with the pasta.

As a dessert, I had to try E la Pizza Margherita! A funny presentation where they serve it in a pizza box simulating one slice of pizza. This a very risky dessert, because it is not for everybody. It is not a full sweet dessert, it is salty with tomato. But I have to admit I enjoyed it. The more you tried it, the better it tasted. Congratulations on this approach.

Tu summarize, it is a good restaurant to come and enjoy a casual Italian meal if you don’t come with high expectations. The prices here are average, and nothing is...

Let's cut to the chase - the food here was amazing. Even the simplest thing, like the bread sticks, were delicious and something different.

We got the Paccheri Al Ragu Napoletano and Dentice, Vongole Pisseli for dinner and both meals were awesome. But what really blew our minds away was the dessert. The Ricordo Delizioso was great - perfect amount of sweetness, the lemon mousse was perfectly tart with a hint of mint and the sponge cake complimented everything greatly. We also got the Baba-Misu which took my breath away completely. The rum cake soaked with freshly brewed espresso was both soft and chewy, but with a little crunch coming from the cocoa crumble and the crust itself. The tiramisu cream with a slightly sour chantilly cream accommodated the slight bitterness from the espresso-rum cake to make this thing unbelievably tasty.

I will definitely be revisiting this place and recommending it to all my friends and acquaintances who like Italian food.

The staff was also very friendly, warm and accommodating. Definitely recommend giving this...
