The patio is a lovely spot to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, especially on a nice day. It offers a relaxed and cozy setting that makes the whole dining experience feel more special. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, with just the right mix of charm and comfort—perfect whether you’re coming for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner.
The food portions are just right—not too heavy, but definitely satisfying. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, bringing out the traditional flavors you’d expect from good Italian cooking. The highlight of the meal, though, has to be the desserts. The tiramisu is rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious—easily one of the best I’ve had. The gelato is equally impressive, smooth and full of flavor, making it a perfect way to end the meal.
Service is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The staff make you feel welcomed and taken care of without being overbearing. All in all, it’s a great place to enjoy a well-balanced Italian meal in a pleasant and relaxed setting.

Nice location with very friendly and patient service. Food was amazing. Bonus is they offer a seperate menu for “pork-free and alcohol free,” dishes which I feel is needed more in our diverse community!

Pretty good Italian food. My seafood pasta was a bit bland last time. Service is great. It's sometimes hard to get a lunch reservation since it's a popular spot for the nearby offices.

Tucked off behind a grove of trees and nestled at the edge of college street within walking distance of many downtown hospitals and Queen’s Park is a gem of a restaurant. It’s located in the MARS building. The inside has a modern inviting atmosphere but they have a comfortable patio that we chose to eat our dinner on under the bistro lights. Service was exemplary and quick with lovely suggestions for our meal choices. The warm bread appetizer with basil and grana padano should not be missed and we ate it so fast I missed taking a photo to share it was that good. The pepperoni pizza was scrumptious for our birthday girl. The linguine di mare was perfect for our seafood lover. The chitarra alla carbonara gave me memories of Roma. The beef burger was a thumbs up for my teenager and was presented exactly how he got it in our travels in France last Spring. Highly recommend!

Great place for lunch meetings. There were plenty empty seats although I couldn't make online reservation. Pizza were okay nothing super amazing so the price was a bit high for the food. But great service.

Great customer service, thank you to the guy who took orders for being so professional and understanding. Even went to the back to get a warm iced tea for my grandma. To some its not a big deal but for us it was a lot. Thank you

Review is based on the chicken shawarma only. This shawarma ranks middle of the pack. The garlic sauce was a bit too salty for my liking. Although they make the bread in house, they do not hot press / grill the shawarma after it’s been wrapped. Although it’s great to have fresh bread, it would be better if it were warmed up.

I come here weekly since my stay in the hospital and have always been treated with respect and amazing customer service.
The food is prepared in an efficient time, presentation is good, it’s very clean and well stocked.
Thanks !

Refat’s service @ Mount Sinai Hospital was the best part of my Meva me experience. His knowledge of the menu options was very helpful to me and I would highly recommend him for a promotion & salary raise.

I had the small Shawarma wrap and it was delicious. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised! The pita bread was made fresh in house along with all of their sauces. The service was also excellent! I’m glad I decided to try it and I definitely recommend

This Tim is located in a busy place, next to a Subway and surrounded by hospitals and other businesses. The location is clean and organized. Interior has the typical Tim look along with lots of indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. Staff were accommodating and friendly. At times, during rush hours, the place gets really crowded. Overall, it's a great Tim location.

This Tim Hortons doughnut 🍩 shop pretty made a nice brownie- dream doughnuts for me for sure!!! 👍 those doughnuts were all really sweet and had a great taste 👅 !!! But it was a bit too strong & sweet for me too…. I think thus Tim Hortons doughnut shop will be nicely accessible for the University Students or employees who are currently working or studying in the UT (University of Toronto) which is being located in right next to this Tim Hortons doughnut shop for sure!!!👍

I usually receive excellent service at this location, but today there was a miscommunication with my order as the front counter staff was new and it was very busy. While I was politely explaining the issue to another staff member, an employee named ‘Missy’ interrupted, saying they didn’t have time because of mobile orders, and told me to “chill.” This felt very disrespectful. Please remind her to treat customers with respect, especially when we are being respectful. Moreover, She did not remake my coffee but simply handed me back the same cup, which I only realized later after the moment of confusion. I have attached a picture of the coffee I received — I had actually ordered a hazelnut cold brew with espresso foam.

Really kind employees there! The gentleman recommended the charcoal energy ball. I’m so glad to have tried it. I also love their juices. I’m hooked on Booster Juice now!

The location is situated inside the food court of Toronto General Hospital 🏥 If you are in the emergency front entrance or Rapid Assessment center (RAC) go straight following the blue colour line and take right then all the way straight and finally take left, this store is first in the food court. The customer service was great as I reached when they were closing starving by hunger still they made me a delicious smoothie. I tried strawberry flavour consist of strawberry, yogurt, passion fruit and banana. This was really very tremendous and also you can add a some booster for free which can boost some nutritions. The small size is of 5.29 while large is for 7.99$ which is more worthy. I recommend to try original flavour smoothie too but without ice in it. This location closes at 8:00 pm.

Location's not great, as it's in the basement of a literal hospital, and the Google maps gets screwed up trying to get you there. Here's a tip: go down to the basement floor, then follow signs directing you to the food court. The food was good, as any booster juice is.

Grabbed lunch from this spot during work and it hit the spot! I got a pepperoni pizza and some penne with vodka sauce—both were really tasty. The pizza had a nice crunch and the pasta was flavorful without being too heavy.
What really made the experience great was the service. The staff was super friendly and had my order ready right on time, which is clutch when you’re on a lunch break. They even double-checked everything and packed it up neatly.

Good place for a quick hot cooked to order pasta dish. Lots of pasta variety to pick from. All pasta dishes come with a slice of French baguette bread and provided in a plastic to go container with lid. They also have some pre made daily hot food special, pizza and salads at reasonable prices.
Ordered the Penne Con Pollo and large Caesar Salad. The penne was al dente, mixed in with mushrooms, garlic and onions, it tasted great. Warm and satisfying pasta dish. The large Caesar salad had the right amount of dressing and croutons.
Overall decent value for the money for a downtown food court stall. There are enough seats available even during busy lunch hour. The stall is located inside the end of the MaRS food court.

It’s an ok place for grabbing a quick lunch. Portions are on the smaller side and varies depending on the dish. It’s tasty but needs more protein and veg for $14.
The best part is definitely that it’s cooked and prepared fresh to order.

Delicious, made to order pasta, pizza and salad! I’ve mostly tried their red sauce pasta and I’ve never been disappointed.

Out of all the staff at this location I have to say, Angela is the best! Always cheery, always has a smile and no matter where she is, she does her job well. If she’s making coffee? It’s perfect. If she’s making the sandwiches? It’s perfect. If she’s taking orders? Fantastic. Always a pleasant experience when I see her behind that counter.
