Jamie's Italian Yorkdale - North York

Went here for my birthday. The pasta was average. Not bad but could be better. The ambiance is nice especially after a tiring round of shopping in Yorkdale Shopping Centre since it's within the mall. Their drink menu is better than their food which is nice. Our server was very polite and attentive as well. I would go back!

Came here with my boyfriend on a late Friday night to celebrate my birthday. Surprisingly, this place is not packed and we got seated right away. I love the venue, it has a rustic English Italian feel with a modern twist. The front area has extremely high ceilings with big windows. If you're lucky enough to be seated in the front area, you'll be able to watch the sunset.

Delicious meal. Ingredients are Fresh, fresh and fresh! <br/ <br/ Tomato bruschetta to start perfection. <br/ Genaro's Tagliatelle Bolognese for the main freshest pasta I have ever had in North America and the closest to I have tasted since I was last in Italy. Orange Blossom polenta cake light and tasty. Cappuccino real deal! It seems the menu changes a lot which is great. <br/ <br/ The menu is well thought out with incredibly clever choices for wine. Highly recommend the Sauvignon Blanc, Ca'Bembo 2015 Friuli Italy unique taste of Italian wine with some real depth.<br/ <br/ One thing I did notice was that the food came out pretty fast with a bit more thought I realised that maybe due to its location it is catering to shoppers who need a quick hit of food before going on their way. <br/

Love the decor and vibe of this place, perfectly executed. The wait staff are professional and address the chefs as their proper titles. Our server knew the menu and made great recommendations. Calamari for an app was the right choice, sprinkled with chille peppers and a chille mayo, perfectly cooked and seasoned. We ordered the ravioli which was on a special and the meatball pepperdelle. Both which were delicious but very much on the salty side. Good size proportions, wish there was room for dessert! Families, girls night out..this place is perfect for any occassion.

After we were finished the appetizer, our mains arrived shortly. The Parma pizza was a classic Margherita pizza (crushed potatoes, basil, fior di latte, with extra virgin olive oil) topped with prosciutto, arugula, and Parmigiano Reggiano (hard, granular cheese). This was really, really good! The pizza was thin crust and it was so thin that when you held it up, it was like holding a cracker. The ingredients just melded together so well and it was really delicious. The prosciutto was really good — sliced thiny, too! I could have eaten another half of this pizza if there were more.
