Forget About It

Have been there quite a few times and will continue to go there quite a few times.
The waitstaff is respectful and courteous. If you have questions about the menu or about suggestions, they will answer you truthfully. If you talk to them, they will talk to you back! They are quite friendly and efficient (especially on nights when they’re not swamped with guests) and are always willing to give a suggestion of where to go. Not to mention they are always well dressed.
The ambiance is beautiful. It is quite a formal restaurant, they have candles, table clothes and napkins so you know you’re being taken care of, but if you want something a little bit more casual, you can always sit outside on their lovely patio (also table clothed) and enjoy the summer breeze.
The food is amazing. I have never ordered anything there I didn’t like. Usually, if you’re nice and they’re not super swamped, they can custom make dishes, switch out sauces and pastas and add whatever you’d like. I usually get a seafood alfredo with linguini and it is DELICIOUS. Their soups are usually made the day of, very fresh and always delicious. Their cream of mushroom is my favourite because there’s always chunks of mushroom in it. Their pizzas are made Italian style, with thin crusts and are always done to perfection.
For dessert, I recommend their tiramisu cake, soft and not too strong.
Can’t wait to go again!

Tried their $ 25 3-​course meal today. Soup was little bland and the entrée came in small portions, but presentation was nice. Dessert was okay but nothing spectacular. Service was good for most parts. The atmosphere inside is classy. Decent place overall.

«Forget about it» really… if you would actually want to come here… I would suggest same as the name… they only thing that appealed to me was the $ 25, 3 course meal on King St. Like come on, how is that even possible… so live with the price, eat and leave… don’t expect too much… in terms of the food and service.
We ended up ordering the 3-​course meal and expectedly it was a disappointment. I thought going for pasta would have been a safe choice but it was tasteless and bland. ordered the tomato soup and that wasn’t good either… tasted like tomato paste mixed with water…
At the end, we recieved a chocolate cake slice, it was the best dish of the evening… the dessert… sighs…I really want to know how they survived on King St. For soo long with this quality of food when the neighbors saint tropez, Marcel didn’t survive thru these tuf times…
All in all, doesn’t live up to any expectation… won’t be back…

Much better than one would expect from the name. After a lot of walking around, we settled on this place solely for its convenience, but we enjoyed a surprisingly good meal as well. Though staff was pretty harried when we sat down, we got good service in short time. We ordered the prix-​fixe and were served perfectly cooked meals, beautifully presented with interesting flavors.
Given the name and the location of this place, you’d be right to expect the worst. But the night we went in, we were delighted with a delicious, skillfully prepared meal at an amazing price.

‘Forget about it’ — I had a really disappointing experience here. Came here not too long ago and tried their 25 $ set menu three course dinner special.
Three friends and I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes. It came with soup and a tiramisu — you pretty much can’t go wrong salmon and mashed potatoes but they did !
To start the soup came with a decent portion but tasted more so diluted than I would have liked. The salmon with mashed potatoes however was really weird — the presentation was super sloppy, basically just slapping everything together onto the plate and hoping that will do. The salmon was bland, the ‘house sauce’ was too sour but the mashed potatoes was extremely off… I think they mixed in parsley and a few different types of herbs into it. The portion of the salmon was not consistent as well. Two of my friends got extremely large pieces but another friend and I got barely anything in which I felt really cheated on. Also nothing on that dish complimented each other, it was literally just slapped together or to fill the plate…
We were in a rush to head out and I didn’t review the bill thoroughly enough but when the bill came it included 15% worth of tips already but I wasn’t informed and gave double the tips. I mean the service was decent and attentive but really no amount of «good service» can make up for the horrible quality of food.

Excellent food, artistically presented. Warm, friendly, attentive staff. A relaxing atmosphere. All at a very reasonable price. Prefect way to relax after a busy day. A must stop in Toronto!

Went this place on Saturday night. It was busy, but a receptionist and waiters are nice and efficient. A receptionist took us to a table as soon as we got there, and a waiter came to our table with menus quickly, brought food quickly and offered and brought cheese and pepper quickly. He brought a bill quickly as soon as we asked it. He also checked our table if everything is good or not several times without disturbing our conversation. All food that we ordered was great. Prices were just right. We are a fan of this place. Would like to go back there very soon.

Bleh. I’m getting really sick of having subpar meals along this renowned «entertainment district» strip.
Forget About It is another average 2 – 3 star place in this long line of mostly disappointing eating establishments. It has the edge on many other nearby restaurants because at least it’s cheap-​ish here — three courses for $ 25.
The service is pleasant enough and the inside is darkly lit and relaxing with some nice comfortable booths for larger groups.
The food is fine, nothing spectacular, nothing bad. Was disappointed that my vegetarian angel hair pasta came with so few vegetables and was really just mounds of pasta with mostly sun dried tomatoes. Mushroom soup was a bit watery but tasty enough.
Really is one of those places where everything is «just ok» and nothing remarkable one way or the other.

Are you kidding me? This place is still alive?

We went here before a show and had an excellent meal. The service was great. I had tortellini in a cream sauce that was delicious and my partner had veal filets that were exquisite. Price was very reasonable as well.

Came here with a friend while we were in a huge rush waiting for a show at the Princess of Wales (just like everyone else, hah. I see they are used to it).
Server was very helpful.
They brought out «complimentary» appetizers, which were pizza squares, and not that great, but our dinner (the seafood antipasto appetizer, and the pizza with scallops) was delicious! We had to eat it so fast that we nearly inhaled it, but the server was incredibly understanding with us trying to make our show, and wrapped up so quickly!
I would like to come back here when I have more time and actually savor the food, but it was very good, with great service (although I felt so sorry for the poor girl who had to stand in the freezing cold and try to get people to come in! I think that’s ridiculous).

I have dined here twice now and have found the food of good value and the service efficient and courteous. Both times we were off to a play and our timeliness was never in jeopardy.
The décor is a little odd because of the huge entry way that turns into a dance club later at night, but the ambiance is otherwise comfortable and quiet. To date, I have had the veal scallopini twice: slight hint of lemon and herbs, tender and flavourful. Although the presentation of the prosciutto and melon was somewhat hohum, the melon was firm without being underripe and the prosciutto was well-​cured without being tough or stringy. We also had the straciatella soup, which came piping hot and delicately flavoured.
In all, we have not been disappointed with the food, service, or the value. We’ll be back.

The food is delicious and the price is not expensive. A really lovely restaurant on the King St. strip. We had the prix fixed and each item was scrumptious. I had cream of mushroom soup. Best I have had. They added really yummy spices to it. The stuffed chicken was so good. And the tirimisu was also the best I have had. I was pleasantly surprised. The food here is amazing and the service was great too. Will definitely go back soon.

From appetizer to dessert is superb, this restaurant you’ll forget everything. Just forget about it. Luv luv luv…

Looking for a place to eat while visiting Toronto with our 3 boys. If you’ve been on this part of King St you know the hosts are on the street and try to get you to come in. After walking for a while we gave in and were seated in what felt like a basement but was the main dining room. The large booth was comfy. Wasn’t that packed and the ace was adequately staffed. Staff was attentive and our server was very nice. Food was VERY average. We had chicken pasta, salmon, linguine with porcini mushrooms, chix pawn and a cheese pizza. The cheese pizza was the highlight and my 14 year old said he loved the chicken parm which is never a good sign in my book. Just didn’t seem home made, like it was all warmed up and as another reviewer mentioned like it was all off the Sysco truck. Not bad but don’t expect anything special. Kids will like it. We were dying to know what the Italian party of 12 was saying next to us about the food!

Service was ok but that was it. Stumbled in here because children screaming they were starving and not knowing the area went w the first place we saw that had something kids would eat.
Overpriced, subpar Italian food sums up this place perfectly. Food wasn’t what we ordered but didn’t want to wait for it to be made correctly. Minestrone soup had angel hair pasta in it and pizza was over cooked.
Not sure why people call it classy– I certainly wouldn’t.

I would like to start by saying the service was fantastic. I have never felt more waited on. Asian wait staff at an Italian restaurant makes for an interesting ambiance. This along with the excellent Chianti forces me to give the two stars.
For the second time in 24 hours, my husband was again lured off the street with the promise of food and a good deal: $ 25 for a three course meal! YEE HAW as we say in the states.
The little pizza squares were obviously the Red Baron variety — frozen you know and only served to make us feel like this was the beginning of something special, some kind of gourmet offering, of which it was neither!
The first course was the salad, which was OK. They had pretty fresh greens here and the couple caramelized walnuts I found in there were a nice touch. The canned beets though? Whew! I pushed those to the corner of my plate.
Next, came the pappardelle with asparagus, arugula (where was it?) and tomatoes in a saffron sauce. Even my non-​foodie husband agreed, it tasted like Lipton’s alfredo noodles. I imagined Robert Irvine discovering a vat of powdered mix in the back! For shame! Still, when the waiter obliged me with an extra grate of parmesan cheese (he comes round Olive Garden style) and I added a few shakes of salt and pepper, it was not half bad.
The final course was tiramisu. This was definitely right out of box. No taste whatsoever.
So, Torontonians and tourists to Toronto, this is one meal you would like to say later to yourself «Forget About It», but am forced to recall because it was so remarkably well, unremarkable. It is presented as if ambrosia by a wait staff that is attentive. It’s not their fault the owners are using Sysco in their pantries, probably thinking it’s saving money.

Given that this is in the heart of the entertainment district, people come here before and after shows in the area. We had reservations for earlier in the evening, and the place was completely empty so we had our pick of the entire place. I don’t recommend this place for those dressed casually as the place definitely projects class.
I’m afraid I can’t say as much for the food on the other hand. Nothing really stands out here, everything is safe Italian «inspired» cuisine that’s mildly seasoned, lacking the soul of traditional Italian. They try really hard to impress, and I give them an A for effort but the food falls flat here.

Nothing special, but not a bad choice in the Entertainment District either — the $ 25 prix fix menu is not bad — you’re not getting huge portions, but that’s pretty much fine with me. Nice wine list with lots of options, friendly and prompt service, and all in all I was happy.

4.5 solidly.
I don’t know why people would knock down forget about it. This was one of my go-​to restaurants in 2012 (I must have gone in there a solid dozen times) and they treated us like kings at each turn.
Great for special occasions, accommodating of big parties and walk-​ins on the most part, wonderful menu and wine selection, and super friendly service. Trust me, it’s damn near risk free.
I RECOMMEND: The Veal Quattro Formaggio
This grilled veal tenderloin with a spinach and a four cheese sauce is divine, and while it’s served with vegetables & potatoes, I always ask for a alfredo pasta substitution and they have always catered to my whims :)
EXTRA TIP: Head waiter gives great wine pairing suggestions
