Review Frankie Tomatto's - Markham

Had lunch with my family today, and the all experience was good. It’s winter time so can’t say a lot for the outside, even though they invested a lot of time and love to create an Italian atmosphere in Canada. The environment inside is great and reminds you Mediterranean villages with a nice combination of ancient ruins and current. Food quality is acceptable, mainly Italian but limited choices. Service is good and helpful.

June 8/19 Back again and it was fine. The outside of the restaurant is beautiful and the new LED lights are great. The waiting area is well decorated and nicely lit which makes for a warm ambience. The little section offer some quietiness off of the main walkway to the buffet area, small and cozy in fact. The soda drinks are served in large cups and of course free refills, yeah. The assortment of food choices makes it way to satisfy most folks. The array of desserts is sure to please. We have been here numerous times and will surely be back.

Great selection for brunch at a great price. Food tasted excellent, well seasoned though some might be a bit over cooked. If you are looking for something versatile for a family gathering or good comfort food meal, this is absolutely the place for you. We will definitely come back!

Pretty good Italian 🇮🇹style buffet selection of pasta 🍝 , pizza 🍕, meat 🍖, salad 🥗 and dessert 🍨 Drinks are additional charge 🍹💰 Friendly staff and overall pretty good atmosphere. You can eat till you’re full and go as many times as you like. Not bad at all. 👍🏻🙂 🍽

First time here. The food was excellent. Service was great. There is lots of seating space. However the space is very tight. Moving around the buffet area gives you anxiety if you’re not a fan of confined spaces. The dining area was also tight. Food and service and prices were great. The exterior is really pretty at night. There is always enough parking and it’s free. Conveniently located by the highway. I would go back.

It's all you can eat Italian buffet, there's truly nothing to complain about! Staff are all very nice and the food is delicious. Setting is great for couples, families and large groups. It is definitely a restaurant to return to for years to come!

Overall always a great experience when I do come here. Service is always good. There are tons of things for u to choose from and the prices are affordable. I love coming in for lunch right around the time it opens so that I get it at its freshest point 😂 Also the early bird special from 5 to 5:30 is the same price as lunch. Dinner has a bit better options too and brunch has always been my favorite. Enjoy

A wide selection of food. Everything is tasty and satisfying. Couple small things to be wary of, it is a buffet so I've encountered dirty cutlery where food is stuck on it. The last visit was nice however, the last piece of roasted chicken I bit into didn't taste right. I had a small piece earlier and wanted another because it was good but it tasted like the chicken was spoilt. The atmosphere was nice.

Excellent place. I'm a vegetarian, yet I had so many food choices including healthy choices. Service was excellent. Staff is friendly. We didn't have to wait for long to be seated. Fresh hot food were replaced by chefs promptly to be served. Loved it! Will go again!! Recommend this place for any and all of your celebrations!

I love this restaurant the food is always on point I'm never disappointed and the staff are awesome and VERY attentive we just went yesterday and loved our server Bernie

Though place isn't as big as other Chinese competitors, it's a nice, cozy, decent place to dine and eat all you can. Easy to locate and good enough parking. Enjoy!

Was visiting Toronto from the UK. Was here on 26th July for my birthday and then again at the 5pm sitting on Tuesday on route to airport. Frankie Tomatto's is amazing. Glad to have had my last meal there before heading back to England. So much variety to choose from that I am sure it would be difficult to try everything in one visit. Would definitely recommend this place and I will be coming back here on my next visit to Toronto.

Nothing to brag about. Have had Italian food 100 times better for a lot less money. Wait staff were nice, but food mediocre at best. My first and last time there.

Popped in for a late lunch with a girlfriend after a early start to a day of shopping. We had skipped breakfast and lunch and we're famished. What a pleasant surprise! We had breakfast, lunch and then dinner! Left stuffed and couldn't eat again till the next day. Free coffee and soft drinks on Sundays! The server was great and got my detailed drink order perfectly! I will definitely return again!!

Great atmosphere, service, and food. Seriously, the food was amazing! Will definitely come back again! And the server that I had was awesome! 5 stars!

Everything I had was absolutely delicious! The main proposal is Italian food with many options: sea food, veggie options and lots of salads. Everything quickly replenished and the staff is very courteous and effective. I will definitely be a regular! All for a fair price.

Everything about it was amazing!!! Jose was great!!!! Great place to meet with family and friends and have great food!!!! Thank you Frankie’s Tomatto’s!!!!!

Amazing service love it here definitely going back and would recommend going here good food and great waiters

Best place to have a dinner with family.Thank you so much Frankie Tamato for excellent food and amazing services.

Loud environment depending on where they sit you... Food was okay... Above average choices of pasta dishes. Service was good too. Would recommend if you want to try something different in restaurants.. It's like an Italian Mandarin...

I have never been before but I met a friend for dinner and it’s his favorite restaurant. Food was amazing. Definitely worth the drive from Barrie

Very polite and courteous staff, lovely décor and ambience, classy, totally a stellar experience for my entire family and friends. I must visit for everyone who loves good food and an enjoyable outing....

We’ve been here for a few times over the past couple of years for baptisms, birthdays and family dinners. I’ve just gotten to do the review to make sure I don’t jump the gun. Fair to review the establishment in not just one visit. <br/>The place is very easy to find coming off 404 at woodbine. Very spacious parking and I’ve never had any problem with finding a spot even with the place jam packed. <br/>The food tries to be diverse as possible for an Italian buffet but it still give you a bit of authentic taste. Pasta, pizza, salad, soups, fried or broiled foods. The flavour differs in a way from my visits. At one time, I can never stop eating the seafood pasta but at another occasion, I only had one serving because I didn’t like the sauce. Same goes for the other dishes like pizza. It can be dry and hard even when it’s just out of the oven but it can also be good and tasty the next time. Even if I did find some of the food not appealing at times, I still enjoyed the others. Hit or miss, so to speak. <br/>The service is very good with their staff very friendly and approachable. Even on a busy lunch rush, they are very visible around the dining area for the patrons. <br/>To get a unique fill for lunch or dinner, Frankie’s can be the spot for you.

Attended a friend's birthday celebration here and it was also my first time eating there. It's an Italian buffet style establishment and I loved it. The atmosphere is nice and inviting and the food tastes delicious. Definitely going back for a dinner date.

Lovely decor and ambiance at this place and I am starting with this since that is the first thing you notice when you see the restaurant.<br/>Very polite and courteous staff. Service is prompt.<br/>Now coming to the food. Had an amazing Italian meal after a long time. So much variety that everyone can find something they like.<br/>It is a must visit restaurant for Italian lovers.<br/>Do make reservations and reach early.

2017/05/18<br/>If I had to guess, it has probably been about 10 years since we have been to Frankie Tomatto's. This evening three of us went there for dinner. The restaurant can probably seat about 200 people. It was less than half full, so getting a table was not a problem. It does not look like the decor has changed since we were last here. <br/><br/>For me the food was okay. There is enough variety that just about anyone should be able to find a few things to eat. Various pasta dishes, pizzas, salads, antipasti, meat, seafood, desserts and more. <br/><br/>SWMBO was not so lucky. A piece of uncooked bacon fat in her carbonara, a small bone in the chicken cacciatore, dry pizza, dirty fork, chipped ice cream dish, and maybe one or two other things. <br/><br/>Based on this evening, it might be a while before we come back again.

I came here last night with my family and it was a stellar experience. Firstly, we did not make a reservation which I highly suggest because when we had arrived they told us the wait would be an hour and a half (unless of course there are reservation cancellations or some people leave early). We agreed only because we knew it would be worth the wait. Ps the parking lot was extremely full and it is evident that this place is not only busy but popular. Luckily our wait was only about 20-30 min tops and then we were brought to the section right by the host stand. To be honest it was rather cool since the door was constantly opening and closing so a jacket was needed to stay on. I gazed at the many other rooms and kind of wished we had sat elsewhere - deeper into the restaurant. But it's ok. It wasn't a terrible section - the other ones just looked cozier. All of the rooms are beautiful by the way and the decor is very authentically Italian and interesting to look at. This place is awesome and amazing just from the interior / exterior. It was very clean also. They have two bathrooms - the single one was great and the one with many stalls was ok too just the water was ice freezing cold. Anyways onto the food and service. We had a wonderful host named Dillon I believe. He was beyond incredible. He was warm, friendly, welcoming and made us feel at home. He was also super sharp and on point - always around when we needed him and constantly checking up on us to remove plates we don't need and to just check in when appropriate - not once did we feel smothered or bothered. He was literally perfect. A waiter made in heaven LoL. Cute too. But anyways. The management was kind also - and other staff were as well. Very friendly, cheerful people. Also there was a man playing a life instrument walking around and his music was very entertaining, relaxing and nostalgic. He did a great job at making us feel like we are at a 5 star restaurant in Italy. He made his rounds and also we could hear people cheering on for the birthday girls and boys. They don't provide anything special for birthday people except pictures, songs and a crown lol. Which is fine because there's plenty of cake and dessert in the bakery section. The bakery section was on point! I had ice cream (all 3 flavours were amazing and I'm usually not a fan of soft serve). I had a waffle which was perfect, a nice marshmallow rice crispy, a dark chocolate pudding and a little chocolate cupcake. Can u tell I love chocolate ? Only thing I didn't do was have the fruit. As a vegetarian I was 100% satisfied with the food and the labels were very clear on what's vegetarian and what isn't. Personally I did not quite like the flavour of any pasta except for the spaghetti (which I feel could have been cooked just a tad more so as to not be too soft) with the sauces. Both the cream sauce and the tomato sauce were very nice together. The garlic bread was awesome too! You can see the man cutting up the biggest loaf you can imagine - nice, fresh and toasty. It's a different kind of garlic bread you will have to try it for yourself. And to my delight there was vegetable ministrone which was a good starter for me. Then there was the anti pesto and salad sections. Everything was super fresh but some of the items were running low. I particularly enjoyed the Cesar salad (I know it's not vegetarian - sue me). But I didn't try any of the other salads because I was happy with the Cesar. I also didn't use any of the toppings they provided for it. Also I enjoyed the beet salad, the coleslaw, the potato salad as well from the antipasto section. Nothing else seemed to have stood out from there but I enjoyed many different vegetables from that section and kept it light. I avoided the fish section and any of the meats but I did try the veggie pizza as well as the cheese. Only taking a couple bites of each since I didn't wanna get too stuffed. The pizzas were very nice. I enjoyed the hash brown looking potatoes. I kind of avoided the Parmesan section as it's not my thing but I should have at least tried the eggplant Parmesan. They also had a wonderful mashed potato that I ate with the cranberry chutney which was a delightful combo. I also did not try the veggie lasagna now that I think about it. Overall I was extremely happy and perfectly full. I was happy that I enjoyed everything from appetizer to antipasto to dinner to dessert! I loved every single bit of my experience honestly. The waiter even brought me fresh lemon for my lemon water and not once did I feel judged for not getting another type of drink. My family also enjoyed their food and experience and we will be returning 10000% it's just a matter of when. I would highly recommend this place as a life changing experience.

My first time. Not a FAN! My 8 yr old loved it, my husband said it was ok. Me, not so much! The food?! The service was good, the restaurant was nice, packed and the like, busy.

I grew up adoring Frankies.. we would always come here for birthdays and it's almost a must to bring people visiting from Korea to try this Italian buffet out just for the experience.  It kind of went down hill  and I never came here for what seemed to be 10 years until recently when people told me they renovated and added protein stations. Some of their food has changed and I actually enjoy visiting here for lunch, I believe it's like $13 for the lunch buffet which is pretty reasonable.  I could order take out ;asagna with a side salad for the same price so I just opt for Frankies.

I used to love the buffet at Frankie Tomatto's. Great options, tasty food, decent price... but after tonight's dinner, they have completely changed. The food is bland, and either too creamy, too greasy, or not fresh. The only thing that tasted good was the cheese pizza. The dessert was the same, with only a few items, such as the ice cream and waffle being good. Definitely not a worthy buffet to return to again. Too bad, because they used to be good.

Really enjoyed the place. Very unique and exciting decor symbolizes Italy well as I'm Italian. Food was great and LOTS of selection for the price!! Good bang for your buck.

At Frankie Tomatto's it's about quantity, not necessarily quality. The variety is great, obviously for an all you can eat Italian buffet, but much of the pastas are a bit mushy and my calamari had grit. It won't stop me from coming back, but not often, and with expectations set reasonably.

Visited the restaurant about two weekends ago for my parents 35th anniversary. Food was delicious and piping hot ( a rarity these days ). Everything was good and well worth the money. Beverages thrown in for the $22 was an added bonus . Will be back in the coming months .

Firstly, it is not easily accessible by public transport. Secondly, it is made to resemble Italian streets, a good idea but it looks dated and not maintained (if that's  the look they are going for). Buffets are lavish, but again, not much for the vegetarian soul. The eggplants are great, but some pastas (sauces) are not clearly labelled- I couldn't get help from the staff to identify whether or not it is vegetarian. Desserts are wonderful, but during rush hours one loses time in the queues and finding where your table is!

I've been to Frankie Tomatto's so many times over the years even before they renovated the building and changed up their menus. Back then, I found everything there to be way too salty. I recently went to see how they've changed. The interior is wonderful! They have many italian options as well as western dishes. I enjoyed trying the variety of foods and for a buffet they're doing much better than before. <br/><br/>If you're celebrating a birthday, make sure you tell the waiter/waitress so that they can embarrass the birthday boy/girl with a silly looking sombrero and by singing a song in front of the entire dining room! They take a picture for you so you can remember how embarrassed you were that day.

This is a good place to get larger group and let them feast on their choice of Italian food. Salads and pastas are amazing. Bread and pizza could be better - especially when it's Italian restaurant. Definitely worth a try !

Amazing selection for all you can eat Italian. Went on a Friday evening during the Seafood all you can eat and the lobster ravioli was amazing. Plus the venue is great for birthdays. Why wouldn't you want to wear a mini tomato and get a free cupcake!!

Its an all you can eat restaurant. The food is ok but not exceptional. Lots of choices for buffet but not so much meat on the menu. The place is kinda of old but it has a family environment with many seats. I have been there recently but not impressed with the quality of food vs its price specially on the weekends.

Not too bad. Have been here few times throughout the years and food is not too bad, the variety is quite large for a reasonable price. They have early bird special, half price senior on Wednesday, seafood Friday and so on, check their website for deals. I would suggest to go early to avoid line up, they can get very busy at rush hour, and I've seen tour buses of people go there to eat.

Was not overly impressed with the food. The Atlantic Salmon was fatty and didn't even look like the salmon you would buy fresh in the store. Some of the food you can tell was sitting long because of a slow turnover. The stations are very narrow. You are bumping into people trying to get around to the station you want. My experience at Mandarin was far better. You get what you pay for.

They dropped the Ribs. I was up a Frank's on Monday and I found out that they no long have beef ribs. Sorry only on friday. This was very disappointing. Without the ribs they had very little if any red meat choices

My first Review. Hey I'm Italian :).. so I decided to go to Frankie Tomatoes cause I don't get enough at home.. I'm warning u all that this restaurant is awful. The food is cold, the place is dirty & nothing tastes good.. you would think they would get pasta and tomatoes sauce right but that's not the case.. its terrible. The only positive were the fresh lemons I squeezed into my water.. don't waste your time and your money..

Food Sucks. Took the family first time last Friday night we no server on till we got our bill plus argue we the Chinese server over the bill they try to charge full price for son he is 2 1/2 , the areas are dirty how they present there food they just slop it there I felt like a pig be feed the bakery chef was the best area they advertised carbonara that's one the reason I went but it wasn't the menu that sucks big let down for seafood Friday its not worth it the is dry bland or burnt the Chefs really lack skills go back again never waste of time and money I'll telll my friends never go there.

Our family loves it. The atmosphere is fun, crazy, and busy. for some ppl this isn't for them, but for our family, we loved it. The staff here are always nice and quick to serve. The selection of food is plentiful and you never are looking at empty trays of food as it gets replaced regularly. if you go during off hours, it's a great way to get a good meal fast, during the dinner and weekends, you have to wait to get in, but it is worth wait. you get what you pay for. we will return again soon :)

Horrible "Italian" Food. This place makes Italian food look like crap! It is completely disgusting. Nothing is kept clean. My friend found other people's finger prints on her desserts. It is a crowded and small place with narrow hallways so you are always getting elbowed by someone else. The food was just gross, very fake Italian. The food isn't labelled very clearly and some things are in very weird places. It is dirty and unappealing. The only thing I enjoyed was the pizza. They couldn't even serve good pasta and it is so easy to cook. The Parmesan cheese was just in one big bowl for everyone to pick from...hello germs! Kids putting their hands on everything, adults taking things and putting some back, nasty! I do not ever plan on coming back here...I could make myself a better dinner for WAY cheaper at home with a jar of sauce and pasta for $5. Also, nothing is labelled whether it is spicy or mild. Save your money and go to Mandarin. This place is a disgrace to all Italians. Nothing tasted fresh - it looked like weird things had been swimming in the tomato sauce...the servers were mediocre, they just did their job. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It is NOT Italian whatsoever. Just go somewhere else. Not worth it.

IT IS BEST BUFFET IN TORONTO

Delicious food and wonderful people!. I went to Frankie Tomatto's for the first time last night and was blown away by the food and service. <br/><br/>As a lover of Italian food, I was concerned that the food would be sub-par but it wasn't! Having moved to Toronto two years ago I have tried many Italian Restaurants in the area and I have not found anywhere that has a good mix of mouth watering food and affordability, Frankie Tomatto's hit the jackpot. <br/><br/>I am a vegetarian and was concerned that my options might be limited, but I had three salads, pizza, three types of pasta and deserts, even a vegetarian meatball, and they were all incredible! I am surprised by the reviews that complain about the food quality. I have been to many italian restaurants in the city where I have paid upwords of $50 on my meal, and the quality at Frankie Tomatto's superseded most of those restaurants, and the bill was under $20! <br/><br/>The atmosphere is not intimate or quiet by any means, but it is a great place for a party or night out with friends and family. The staff was incredibly kind, from the greeter, to the chefs, to the waiters and manager. We were very well tended to and everyone was warm and kind. <br/><br/>I will be returning to Frankie Tomatto's, and referring my friends and family to the restaurant. This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in the Toronto area.

All you can eat Italian feast. Quanity is not quality. I prefer quality. Buffet food is generally bland to me. Frankie's does offer a good selection. This place have all the feature that a buffet goer loves. Lots of main course dishes like roast pork, roast beef, beef ribs, and rotisserie chicken.

Not bad, not excellent. Can't remember the dishes I had but they were fairly good. The only thing that sticks out about this place is that the desserts are really lacking. I'm never satisfied with their variety.

I would highly recommend Frankie Tomatto's to anyone who wants Italian food and is really hungry. But have a reservation. They fill up fast and once they fill up, you cannot get in without a reservation. One more thing. Do not eat too much or you will have to take a Tums pill like I had to cuz I ate too much.

Italian Food Should Be Eaten per Order. Ok nice front entrance. Ummm poor service. The food choices. ahhhhhhggg. Wheres the Itialian food in this Buffet. Tomato Sauce sure but come on, I miss Vinni Zuchunis

Good. This place has good food......its not great, its good. Im italian and grew up eatting Italian food so I know what its like. Much better than east side (garbage) marios, or Vinnie Zuchinni. It is a buffet so keep that in mind. Would I go again? Yes. Is it 100% authentic? Not really but its close

Amazing selections. They just changed some of their menu and I commend them for this. Classic favorite is the beef ribs, calamari and wide selection of pasta. Where else can you get all you can eat ribs for $12.99 for lunch? You can also ask them to give it to you with no bbq sauce and it almost feels like you're eating steak. I'm glad they added Italian wedding soup to their menu.

Sensory distortion. This is quite possible one of the worst & ugliest Italian restaurants I've ever been to. We could not understand the server or maybe she could not understand us because we spoke English and not Mandarin. The food was in most cases tatselss and cold. But they obviously cater to a clientele that knows absolutely nothing about good Italian food and they can eat all they want because it's a buffet. What an ugly confusing restaurant. It's a sensorial challenge but I understand their logic. Keep them looking at the decor so that they don't think of the god awful food. I think all Italians should revolt and have it shut down

Hmmm. The last time I ate here was years ago. It seems that maybe they got complacent.

EWW. This place sucks donkey balls! Only the corn and olives were edible.

KIDS' FAVOURITE RESTAURANT. Frankie is not fine dining by any means but it is a great place to take hungry kids, especially on birthdays. Our daughters in particular enjoy the ribs, mussels and the ice cream station. It's completely self served so you don't have to wait and wait like at Richtree or at some of the slow Sushi AYCE's. Also, the service is very good at Frankie's and worth a 15% tip even if you self serve yourself. At one occasion, it was raining and there was a very slight leak from the ceiling above us. The manager immediately moved us, apologized profusely and offered us free drinks.

Food quality ok, cutlery not clean, nothing wrong that can't be cured by complaining. Less than impressed although the layout of the place is interesting.

Only for teens who are really hungry. No taste. this is so not italian.

Used to love this place and it was my fav buffet. However now it's pretty rundown and food quality is mediocre at best. Servers are very friendly but despite their goodwill they can't change things that the management should seriously addressed (ie food quality, decoration, atmosphere, lighting, cleanliness and plastic plates and glasses)

Quality For the Kids. This is a good restaurant to take the kids on visitation weekends and when doing a family lunch with the ex. Lunch value for $16 and the kids like to eat as much pasta as they like and they provide a salad bar as well. Many families have reached the same conclusion as well. Very few young pretty customers however which is a shame

Last time I went there was over five years ago. I used to like their mussels which were big and juicy. Then one day it became bad. Five years later it just became worse. It's small perhaps overcooked and shrank.<br/><br/>Their pasta sauce is terrible. Tastes like cheap old canned tomatoes. The meat is okay though but that sauce just kills it.<br/><br/>Eggs Benedict was okay. Nothing to write home about.<br/><br/>I ended with waffle topped with their ice cream. Wasn't too bad. I actually liked it. Overall it is over priced for the quality you get.<br/><br/>They do have a good espresso, but it does not come with the mean (i.e. you have to pay extra for it).<br/><br/>The food is mostly just filler and not too tasty so going home I am just going to eat some fruit salad to make my tummy happy. As such this restaurant has now joined my do not like list.

My dad is usually a very selective eater, mainly for his health’s sake. For some reason, though, he is particularly fond of  Frankie Tomatto’s  and that’s where we ended up tonight (usually I’m a pushover for food, so it’s not like I would’ve refused anyway). Frankie’s is an AYCE Italian feast filled with both traditional and commercially popular Italian cuisine. It is definitely a great family-oriented restaurant, with parties and their annoying  popular birthday celebrations for the special boy or girl that happens to go on that day (there’s a quite a few people who have birthdays on the same day and they all happen to celebrate at Frankie Tomatto’s).  The best thing about the restaurant, besides the vibrancy and the food, is probably the piazza-themed deco throughout the restaurant with the different cuisine-themed stations. The deco certainly gives you a feeling of being right at the centre of o

Passed by the Leaning Tower of Pisa all the time and have been there ages ago. We've talked about dining at Frankie Tomatto's for months and finally we were there on a weekday night for some casual all you can eat Italian food. It was surprisingly pretty busy. The restaurant was considerably huge and they have spent time with their Italian decor (along with some Christmas decorations at this time of the year). As one can guess, Frankie Tomatto's serves antipasto, pizza and pasta. However, they also have seafood, Parmesan, pastries, insalada, rotisserie, zuppa, carvery, al forno, and ice-cream. The food quality was average and met my standards for an all you can eat restaurant. The price was actually pretty decent, the bill came to around $40 including tips for two. To.live.my.life will give a rating of 7/10 for Frankie Tomatto's due to its positive reputation built up over many years, and the reasonable price charge for the quality of food provided.

Have been going since the late 90s. Ten + years later the food had gone completely down hill. Stations are dark and dusty. The entire place is dated and when they gave me a styrofoam take out container it it had dust bunnies and hair clinging to it from the static and unkept / cleaned waitors stations . saw kids poke their bare fingers into the icecreams and desserts. The horrors i've seen will not have me returning or wasting money (its pretty expensive too!!)

I went to Frankie Tomatos restaurant on my 20th Birthday with my family. This was one of the best dinners I have ever had given all the food items available at the buffet and courteous staff. At the end of the dinner, the servers as well as the cook came to our table to sing the Frankie Tomato themed B-day song as well gave me a mini cake and crown. What else could I have asked for!

I've been going to this restaurant for more than 18 years. It's one of my favourite Italian buffets with a large selection of choices, ranging from their salads and breads to their gelato and other dessert specials. After all these years, it still has the same quality and has failed to disappoint customers.

Selection of food is quite large. Everything is kept very warm and never seems to run out. The servers are polite, helpful, and good at their jobs. You always feel like they deserve to be tipped well. Very vibrant and joyful atmosphere once you enter. Mostly families with kids enjoying the meal. The decor is amazing with Italian style architecture all around, you'll feel your dining somewhere in Europe. The fact that the place has been frequented by Celebrities tells you why it has been around for so long and so popular among the locals. Birthdays celebrations are a treat to watch. Would want to go more often
