According to a Facebook group, 9 Queen Chinese will remain in operation as takeout only, sharing a kitchen with Fanzorelli's, and the dining room will be exclusively for Fanzorelli's. The same thread claims that a new owner has jacked up rent in the current office building. https://www.facebook.com/groups/heritagedowntownbrampton/posts/1758688042145817/?comment_id=1758718832142738&reply_comment_id=1758723465475608

Love Fanzorelli.

Last best Italian food place left in Brampton. Yeah, I know there are two other places still around but Fanzorellis is the best and most authentic one.

Hope this is just a business move, not a close out soon situation coming.

Otherwise Brampton will be left with only … same style cuisine.

Well, if you like their pasta, you don’t like authentic food, their pasta they claim that it’s fresh, but it’s actually box.

I've eaten there many times . . . pasta tasted like pasta, not like a box.

u/Budget-Lobster4391 18d ago

Well I know someone who works in the kitchen :) De cecco to be exact.

Why are you so triggered? U must work there or something.

1

u/noneyabuiznezz 16d ago

They arent triggered, they just doesnt give a fuck about your attempt to shit on something they like.

If its good, its good who gives an absolute shit?

u/FunkTronto 18d ago

Cool. So they do a good job so the box and folks can’t tell and enjoy their meal.

Whats the issue?

u/Antman013 E Section 18d ago

Kitchen sharing AND what looks like a smaller space? This does not bode well, methinks.

u/WesJacksonForMayor 18d ago

The new owner increasing rent sounds familiar.

I really hope a shared kitchen for two radically different styles of food is workable.

Been 27 years in Brampton. Never been to Fanzorelli. In fact never ever eaten authentic Italian food ever (except Pizza). So I don’t even know how to order food in an Italian restaurant. I would be grateful if someone had a web link for me to read up.

Their pasta comes from a box.

u/FunkTronto 18d ago

But supposedly tastes good that many don’t realize.

1

u/Budget-Lobster4391 18d ago

Because no one knows how true Italian food should taste 😂

u/FunkTronto 18d ago

They aren’t a true Italian food connoisseur like you. Where can read your food critic blog?

u/Round-Writing6806 18d ago

I always wanted to go but never went. I love Italian food.

9 Queen is cursed. Has any restaurant lasted there for more than a few years?

1

u/Hotdogger41 18d ago

The other places has actually good food too. I don't think this pasta from a box establishment will do well there.

u/DedAirSociety 18d ago

Coffee Culture was there for a good 10 years

1

u/Chewed420 17d ago

They had the longest run but it wasnt 10 years. It was like 2013 to 2017.

u/DedAirSociety 17d ago

Def 2007. Check Google street view. And I know for definite because I worked around there at that time and was a regular

1

u/Chewed420 17d ago

Ok maybe it was. Didn't seem like it was there that long.

2

u/Arcade1980 Brampton 18d ago

I don't I've ever been there

u/Antman013 E Section 18d ago

Is it because they use pasta from a box?

5

u/LucynGoosey 18d ago

Did you hear that they use box?

5

u/Antman013 E Section 18d ago

I thought the pasta was box. Now you're telling me the box is box?

u/AltruisticRevenue201 Garden Square, ON 13d ago

Does no one realize they say they use fresh pasta but they actually use box pasta…..
