- KkellyToronto / Ontario •45 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood is great - always creative and delicious. Concern today as my dining guest mentioned a sensitivity to spinach. She realized her green salad was full of fresh spinach. She picked it out but it could have made her quite sick. Either server did not pass this along or kitchen forgot. Allergies are important to take note of - especially when server asks and gets a reply.More infoCantina GiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• The Glebe•4.6
