tony capone's

a pleasant experience. really good food, a pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, large portions, and the owner even comes around to see how things are going. my first time there, a recommend spot by my wife. a place to revisit.

sadly, since this was originally written in 2011, despite being a favourite (my wife loved the lasagna), we have noted a decline in the food.  the rosemary and interesting dinner rolls are gone, now replaced with "loblaws best", or some similar pedestrian cheap mass produced roll.  the sauces have changes, and not for the better, the portions diminishing. the calamari used to be agreatappetizer, but it has dramatically dropped in portion. the toasted ravioli though remains consistent over the years, though the sauce is thinning. the past four visits have been "maybe this will be the last", and sadly, i think that it may have come to pass after the thoroughly disappointing birthday visit for my wife, with family and friends.

classic italian restaurant with the familiar and inspired atmosphere. all of your favorites are on the menu, in a restaurant that will always satisfy even the pickiest eaters. very friendly and accommodating staff,greatselection and value all wrapped up in a restaurant style that is not as common these days. thankfully this restaurant remains a popular staple.
