Calabria Restaurant, Toronto

Although the waitress was quite helpful and courteous, I would not recommend that restaurant to any of my friends. The bruschetta was basically chopped tomatoes on untoasted bread; a little good olive oil goes a long way!!!The green garnish on the appetizer plates were wilted. The olives tasted like from a can. The cheese on the escargot was "runny" ,but not in a good way. I challenge anyone from Calabria to eat the pasta. The fries were good apparently.Shame because the location has potential to be a great oasis. Stick to a few choice items and do them well. My husband asked me not to buy food groupons after this experience.

Should increase the entree size

Only one waitress. Did her best but waited. Food just ok. Nothing special as advertised.

1. When bringing an appetizer (of 4 ordered) to a table of 4, you can't present 3 of something (like the scallops) - as there is no way I'd normally pay $9 for 3 bacon-wrapped scallops (or maybe the size is pared-down because it is a Groupon - which is what I hoped did not happen here?). If you want return custom, you cannot portion based on the fact that someone pre-paid and you are merely fulfilling an obligation! 2. Consider adding some more (even rice or veggies which is inexpensive) to all your entrees - that for the meat was adequate 3. Remove the sign that says 'Wait to be seated' - with only one waitress, I stood there for about 10 minutes before I realized that no was going to come
