We recently visited Frankie Tomatto's for dinner. It's a great family restaurant that serves Italian food buffet style. The food is pretty good and the selection is impressive. My favourite thing there is the fried calamari. They also have pizza, pasta, veal and eggplant parmesan, rice pilaf, baked salmon, smoked ham, potato rosti and mussels. That is just a taste. There is much more available. The dessert selection is good.

They have some awesome specials during the week. Monday's are Kids Eat for Free (one child for every adult buffet), Tuesday is $10.99, Thursdays are Group Days where groups of 11 or more are charged $10.99 per person.

We had lunch at Skyland de Shanghai in Toronto today. It's Northern Chinese Food...Shanghainese Chinese Food. I thought it was interesting that they had a glass enclosed area where you could watch them make their noodles. Noodles made right before our very eyes. I thought that was the most interesting part of our lunch. I had never had fresh noodles before. They were firm and thick. The red braised beef noodle soup was very good. We also had the onion pancake and soup filled dumplings. They were quite tasty too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any visitors here to Toronto.
