Il Posto Pizzeria

Here goes my first stroller-friendly review!

Where: Il Posto Pizzeria at 1001 Douglas, across the street from the Bay Centre.

Access: Easy to get through the door, but narrow to maneuver in the restaurant. Would have been impossible had there been more people.

Food: Tasty enough, but nothing to write home about. The broccoli, feta and cranberry salad (WAY less healthy than it sounds) was a delightful surprise, and the highlight of the meal. The pizza was tough.

Service: Very prompt, friendly enough, and generally no-frills.

Cost: Cheap -- a slice of pizza, a reasonable helping of salad, and a soft drink came to less than $10. I left satisfied.

Baby-friendliness: Not great, but not bad. The restaurant overlooks a very busy street with lots of ambient buzz from all the cars and people walking by. Also, a rock radio station was playing Guns N Roses. Hence, the noise level was appropriate to bring a babbling baby into. There was, however, no place to breastfeed discreetly, nor could the stroller easily make it to the bathroom (to see whether there was a change table/surface).

Overall Grade: C+

Thanks for reading -- another review should be up within the next day or two! :-)
