We visited Toronto from Colorado and this was our first stop after getting off the plane. It was a blessing and a curse as it was the best place we ate at during our trip so every time we got a mediocre meal, we swooned about missing Agio's dishes. We had to come back on our last day of the trip.
The restaurant is quaint with paintings of regular customers done by the chef's wife. And what a great chef! I haven't had amazing food like this in ages! Pasta was perfect al dente and everything was at the perfect temperature. He brought us out some sort of complimentary zucchini and mushroom appetizer we didn't order but we delightfully devoured. Personally, I do not like zucchini or mushrooms but we had two dishes including them and they were delicious! That's how you know you have a great chef. They can make something you usually hate, taste amazing. Hell, I even learned the correct way to pronounce the dishes. I had no idea I had been saying everything wrong all this time haha
