Café Presto

Flash review alert!

I went back to this little place for lunch today with my dad. This restaurant is tiny and you could possibly miss it while walking by. OH but it's right beside Chez Parée so, uh, ya, I don't know why that matters. Perhaps go watch a little bit of strippin and then eat some italian? No? Shut up? Mmmmkay. The place has around 30 seats and has a maitre d'/owner that is usually very enthusiastic. Today, I think he was having a bad day.


Anyhoot. It is SO cheap there for some good ol' home cookin' (in an actual kitchen that looks like my kitchen at home but older...) :they have a board with about 8 choices, all at 6.95$ Not too bad, eh?

Bread
-big
-all you can bread
-dry

Spaghetti a la bolognese
-Pasta cooked just the way I like it
-Lots-o-meat
-Not enough spices
-Filling


Canolli
-Meh
-Not crunchy at all
-Made many hours prior...

As for the service, I mean, our waitress didn't seem to care much plus she was coughing without covering her mouth which was just not cool. Plus, we had to ask for water after my dad's glass had been empty for 10 minutes.

And now, the scores:

Food: 6.5
Service: 5.5

Not the best scores today but last time was better. And I have an inkling that I will end up going back there for a dad lunch at some point :)

Café Presto

Flash review alert! Lunch with papa today and we decided to enter this tiny Italian restaurant on Stanley. At first I was like meh but then I was like yeh!
The waiter/owner came outside to get us and spoke italian. Basically, this got us all confused so we just HAD to go inside :) Small place with around 30 seats and Elvis posters!It was very cute and very popular!

My dad's 'poulet chasseur'.

-Well cooked
-Colourful (tomatoes and peppers)
-Juicy
-Very generous portion

My Eggplant Parmigiana

-Very cheesy
-Underseasoned tomato sauce (but still good)
-Nice mix of flavours
-Good sized portion

Service was really quick. Quicker than this and you die. DIE! Seriously. We ordered and about 2 minutes later (I'm not kidding), the food was in front of us!

And now, the scores!

Food: 8
Service: 8

If you want a good, quick lunch, prego( I did take some italian classes in high school) go there! Grazie :p
