   Cocktail was not good, limes were shrivelled up and flavourless, pasta was gross, stuck together, over salted, inedible. $60 steak should come with potato side (have to purchase separately), steak was over fine and chewy. Dessert portion was minuscule and over priced.

   Such a nice place to go after work! Colour people and Food! And we both my husband and I love Italian food. I especially love the Italian Wedding Soup :) And my husband is loving your "catch of the day" Thank you for all the kind service everyone there provides. I want you to know how it is always appreciated. Warm regards, Valerie and Fred

   Our reserved table was ready upon arrival. Pace of service was great as were the serving staff. Starter caesar salad was very good but the filet ordered medium rare was dry.

    I ordered the most expensive meal on the menu (tenderloin steak) and it was average at best. Lots of fat and not very flavorful. Ordered 2 Mojitos and they didn’t taste right. We were not satisfied with the quality of the food and drink. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were very disappointed.

    Food overall was great. Waitress was a sweetheart as all in there are. Our only negative is that the water glasses weren't refilled as often as we would have liked. We wouldn't say the atmosphere is energentic it was just loud

    We were disappointed that the menu didn’t explain what the dish included. The menu is a bit cryptic. Also, there should be an option for regular pasta and a basic sauce. We were told they couldn’t make any exception. We wanted a pasta with bolognese sauce for a picky eater. The service was OK.

    The entire team at Caffé Italiano are excellent in every aspect of the food service business. A testament to the quality of food and service is that we keep going back. It has become one of our favourite venues despite living 35 minutes away.

    I like the restaurant and the staff are great. The price for the steak is too much considering the tenderloin is very small and cost nearly 50.00. It was Friday night and it was empty and we were a table of 4. As we talk about it we all felt the food is just too expensive. The portions were reasonable - but again the value is not there. The variety is great - adding new items is great too!

    Place was cold inside. My ribeye steak had a lot of fat on it, not a great piece of meat. It was delicious but fatty. Prefer the watercress salad to the tomatoes, much better.

    The service really was outstanding. We had a fantastic server. The food was mediocre at best. The dessert was stale. Prices aren't cheap. I assume that management figures everyone will pay with points, so price doesn't matter. The brunch I had was far superior to dinner.

    Expensive for what was served. Steaks were not served with sides (other than watercress!). Osso bucco was flavorless and swimming in grease. Polenta was gritty and underwhelming. The temperature in the restaurant was unbearable. Our poor server was sweating to death. For over $260, I would expect something better.

    I was annoyed that even though my father has mobility issues to we brought up with them, we were forced to take a table down the stairs. Also, the food was pretty terrible. Otherwise, the service was nice and the view of the racetrack was great.

    We were a party of four and did not enjoy it as much as we did on our first visit. During our first visit we were seated on the upper level which was more comfortable and intimate. For this visit we were seated at a small table near the windows. When you are seated with your back to the windows all you look at is a wall. Maybe you should consider having circular booths all over the restaurant? What happens when there's horse racing? Half of your restaurant guest will have their backs to the action. The overall vibe was a cold one.
