Parcheggio - North York

Delicious food and great staff. This is my go to spot to satisfy my Italian food craving. My personal favourites are the creamed buratta cheese, crispy shrimp, ricotta gnocchi, and the braised beef sweet onion ziti. So much flavor!

My first visit was dinner last night on the patio. The food and our friendly and polite server deserved 5 stars. However, my experience with the greeter (young woman with striped shirt) was extremely poor. When I arrived on location, there was no one at the entrance, nor any signage to indicate that I should wait for the greeter prior to going to my table. Since I spotted my party, I joined them at the patio table. Part way through the evening, the greeter came out and spotted me. She quite rudely came up to me and said that I should not have seated myself and should have waited for her. My strong recommendation either have a person at the entrance all the time, or use appropriately placed and clear signage so customers know how to proceed. Also train that particular greeter on how to speak to customers.

Ordered the Rigatoni Rose, 16oz veal chop as our Main and Nonna's Meatballs for appetizer. The food was great- simple, classic Italian. Our server was very polite and friendly- and staff was helpful when needed.

Went for a late lunch. Hostess was very professional. Covid protocols are in place done with patients. Staff are friendly courteous a bit. So it was delicious after dinner coffees exceptional.

Before the pandemic, this restaurant was great. However, my recent experience was disappointing. I ordered two pastas, both in large/street size. The first pasta was fine, but the second one came in a box that was hardly half full, with large noodles spread out and lots of empty space. Even though I asked the staff to double check, they insisted that it was a large portion. I have been ordering this special pasta since they first started offering it online, so it was disappointing to see such a change. I understand mistakes can happen, but I was disappointed by the denial and lack of acknowledgement. (Photos of the boxes for comparison and the half-empty box are provided for reference).
