"We came here for a birthday dinner because it was highly recommended by a friend. Honestly not that impressed.... Firstly, they had too much staff on hand, and it made us feel overwhelmed like there were people everywhere. Secondly, the food was ok, but for what you are paying, you can get better Italian food for less money at many other places. Ie: panko fried calamari has no place in an Italian restaurant, they were heavy and crusty and not light and crispy like they should be, veal parmigiana was over $30 and had one small piece of veal. Lastly, too much going on with their decor and it looked confused and a bit outdated. Overall it had a stuffy, snobby feel to it and the food did not measure up for the price."

"We were the first to arrive. But soon it picked up. Food was great. Came out hot, and didn't stack the main on-top of the starters like some places do. We had nice things to say to the waiter, as well as the manager. We got a table visit from the manger thanking us for the kind words. We enjoyed it so much, my wife has asked that this be her birthday dinner location. It's coming soon."

"WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! DESPICABLE TO SAY THE LEAST!!!I've dined at numerous restaurants across the globe, and my experiences have varied greatly. I've encountered some truly exceptional ones, several that were just average without any standout moments, and unfortunately, a few truly awful ones. One of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had was at the Moxies Dixon Road Restaurant, located at 55 Reading Ct, Etobicoke, Toronto, Canada.A few months ago, I visited this establishment for lunch and specifically requested a quiet area within the restaurant. To my dismay, I was seated there without a server attending to my table for nearly an hour, despite my repeated attempts to get their attention.Even when they finally served my lunch, there was no staff member in sight throughout my meal and after I had finished. After concluding my meal, I even used the restroom and could have left without settling the bill. However, I decided to go to the entrance and pay my bill, almost as if I were in a fast-food joint. A polite young woman working there apologized profusely for the horrendous experience, and I left, thinking it might have been a one-time occurrence.Unfortunately, my optimism was shattered during a recent visit just two days ago, an experience that still leaves me and my guests in disbelief.We commenced our evening with an order of chicken wings, hoping for a delightful evening. As the server was about to place the dish on our table, it slipped, causing a piece to fall on the floor and splattering BBQ sauce on my clothing. To our astonishment, the server merely chuckled at his mishap, dropped the plate without any apology, and walked away. We managed to clean up some of the mess from the spill and sought the assistance of another staff member, requesting to speak with a manager.This is where the nightmare truly began. The manager, who introduced himself as Aizaz Butt, arrived with a single chicken wing on a plate and carelessly dumped it onto our table, displaying a disrespectful attitude that even animals don't deserve.Shocked and appalled, we expressed our belief that the least he could do was offer an apology or replace the contaminated plate. He responded rudely, questioning whether it was merely one piece of chicken that had fallen to the ground. His defensive demeanor, with both hands in his pockets, left us even more stunned.In response, we decided to leave and requested that the receptionist summon the manager. Another staff member, a young man, arrived, also with hands in pockets, and claimed to be aware of the situation. However, he offered no apologies, didn't inquire about our names, and seemed eager to usher us out of the restaurant. We asked for his card and departed, utterly disgusted.The only individual who extended an apology was the young lady at the reception, and it was clear that she was as taken aback as we were by the treatment we received and the manager, Alex Molina's, uncooperative and unwelcoming attitude. This was an absolutely abysmal dining experience, to say the least!"

"The food is good, but it is getting pretty expensive. I ordered a gluten free pasta with meatballs, but the meatballs were not gluten free, so I had the pasta with tomato sauce only (and they included a bit of parmesan cheese) pretty bland. I feel like restaurants should do a better job with the gluten free options. It is very easy to make gluten free meatballs, or they could also have maybe offered me something else to put on the pasta maybe some roasted vegetables, or mushrooms, etc. The Caprese salad wasn't what I expected. It was mostly a spinach salad with a few cherry tomatoes and some mozzarella cheese and croutons. Definitely not a traditional Caprese salad. The ambiance is nice, but a little bit bright for me."
