Had a lovely meal at Uncle Tony's. Special this evening was Lamb Shank. It was excellent and served with a wonderful medley of vegetable. Lamb was cooked perfectly, falling off the bone. I personally like a bit more spice in the gravey but otherwise it was wonderful. I have had the OssoBuco and it was wonderful. My friend had a beautiful pollo alla parmagiano with pasta. We shared a delicious Chianti and had a great time catching up. It is a great place to go for Italian food with some very special Entrees

My husband and I walk by this place all the time but have never tried it. My parents were in town one day to visit me and I thought, why not make this the time to try it instead of the keg. We walked in and we’re greeted immediately and they brought to a table. I requested on this app for a warmer section but they put us close to the window. The table next to us seems to have been a party that knew one of the staff members. They were extremely loud and shouting a lot. The appetizers were delicious but the wine tasted a tad sour and was a warm temperature. My understanding is that wine should be stored cool, but we were fine with it. After ordering our entrees and waiting for them to arrive, the entire restaurant filled with smoke, and I can tell it was hurting my parents’ eyes. The server even noticed the smoke and opened the door to air the place out. This is on a freezing night so you can imagine how this impacted the mood-but it had to be done to get rid of the smoke (is there no back door?) We finally got our food and I have to say, the steak was terrible and had no flavour. It tasted very burnt and yet the inside was blue rare, although I ordered it medium. I alerted the server and they took it back but it came back still tasting like burnt and absolutely no spices, salt or flavour (unlike how it was advertised with mushrooms and i believe a balsamic sauce) we did not get any mushrooms either. I told the server and they offered to take it back Again, which I refused as I did not want to take another 10 minutes to wait for my food. My dad ordered the rack of lamb, which ended up being a lamb chop and not a proper rack with the bones. I feel this should have been properly disclosed to us upon ordering. I have a background in hospitality and although the servers were nice, we will likely not return due to the lack of simple competency with food, wine and ambience. I am a firm believer in explaining things to customers when things don’t go well.

The atmosphere was very nice indeed. The calamari was cold, and the portion was miniscule for the price. Our pizza came out barely warm, and our pasta dish was cold and stodgy, did not taste fresh, it was like cheap store-bought pasta. The waiter told me that a birthday dessert would be included for my wife at no charge, since our bill was over $100, however I still got charged $10 for a tiny piece of tiramisu. That's my fault for not checking the bill until I got home.
