Profile

Established in 1919, Puglia may be one of the oldest restaurants in Little Italy, but that doesn’t mean it's a slave to tradition. The place offers customary southern Italian fare, which patrons enjoy along with the festive ambience of in-house entertainment. Singer Jorge Buccio comes armed with an Elvis pompadour and a Casio keyboard and persuades the lively crowd to momentarily abandon their pestos or scampis as they clap their hands to Frank Sinatra tunes. If you want to sip your red wine in peace, head to the side room near the bar. — Sandra Nygaard

Haven't been to Little Italy in years, went with a group yesterday to celebrate the birthday of a good friend. We sat for approximately 45 minutes, trying to get the waiter to at least serve us some drinks, it was like we were not there. Finally we were served a pitcher of yellow water with unknown particles floating about. When we brought this issue to the waiter's attention he immediately said "It's cheesecake".. Why there would be cheesecake in the water was beyond me. A group of six were seated at the adjacent table 15 minutes after we were seated, but they had there appetisers already on the table. We finally grabbed our waiter and asked if we could order and he stated, " We will have to wait until "Jorge" the pianists stops playing. The whole experience was a nightmare. "Never again"!..We finally went across the street to "Vincents", where we were treated like royalty...and the food was excellent...
