La Gondola Banquets And Dining | (905) 669-2436

I once attended a family wedding held at La Gondola and I was shocked with what I saw in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen to ask for a book of matches with a company logo on it (because I happen to collect them). It was so busy in the kitchen that I actually stood there for 5 minutes before someone acknowledged me. Anyhow, as I stood there for 5 minutes, I was extremely disappointed with their sanitary practices. The workers seem too comfortable handling food with their dirty bare hands. Most of the waiters were actually handling the main course (steak) with their bare hands and organizing them neatly in their tray. I saw a woman went from handling dirty dishes to mixing a vegetable salad using her dirty hands. There were panini bread left under a table and was being unintentionally splashed with water by the dishwasher, then it was collected by a waiter, thrown into the oven then served to a customer. I saw a waitress ate a lobster tail from her serving tray with her bare hands, then go outside and serve the contents of the tray to her unsuspecting customers. I have heard of some nasty things going on behind the kitchen, but seeing it first hand, I lost my appetite. I wouldn’t recommend eating there after the unsanitary condition that I just witnessed. Thank you.
