1. Renee, you are a Moran. “Unlike most Italian chefs, Rubino cooks his food without butter”

   Learn before you make such an ignorant and outlandish statement. After having spent the past month throughout all of Italy I can say with clarity that you are without a clue.

2. That address is in Etobicoke, which may want to be Toronto, but isn’t. Also, I do wonder what is Italian about “Mennonite chicken” and some of the other menu items.

3. Do you mean moron? Or are you suggesting a connection to the Moran family? If you’re going to criticize someone else, do check your own writing.

4. I agree. Let me be direct, f u c k y o u r s e l f

5. I live in the area and have been to The Cellar Door twice. The first time I had the pizza and thought it
   was ok but the service was beyond horrendous.
   Despite the poor service I decided to go again as I thought they
   deserved a second chance given it was a new local restaurant and we had friends
   in town from Italy. I have to say my
   second experience was worse than the first, the staff was disorganized and
   forgot to bring the two bottles of wine we ordered, after reminding them for the
   third time they game. Then came our
   meals: the portions were small, overpriced and nothing special. … when our bill came I had a sour taste in my
   mouth.

6. sigh… these comments are becoming boring. You describe “horrendous” service after having to (the horror) remind the server for your bottle of wine! I’ve heard that before… in another version of the story, it started with a pea… and a princess.

   Cellar Door is a great addition to an up & coming neighbourhood. Something’s happening in New Toronto. A decrepit infrastructure & broken transit are pushing DINKs closer to the jobs.

   Servers were very friendly and more than competent, albeit a little nervous/apprehensive. The pizza menu is inventive and very tasty (creamed kale with gruyere… went against my gut and ordered it… so good!). And guess what. They don’t roll their eyes when you ask them to (gasp) slice your pizza!

7. Stuff it in your ear ‘a lick the’, be PC elsewhere fool

8. You’re a snob

9. Was just at the Lakeshore restaurant, had a worst experience, wondering that place looks nice from outside decided i will take my birthday dinner their today. Turns out not only they ruined my birthday dinner but they ruined the whole mood. we ordered 2 things and the server cant even manage to remember that and she just served us one. Expecting that the second dish must be coming anytime soon we waited for 25 mins, turns out she comes and asks us if we want anything else. And when reminded she blamed it on us saying i thought you ordered just one thing. not only that. You guys need to hire people who are good at communication skills and are not sexist. all in all the whole dining experience was a nightmare, people inside are loud and yelling at each other, this is not a get away dining experience as it seems from outside window. Never going back again. not even for free.
