  • I have to say I was NOT prepared for how amazing this place was. This place is highly underrated!! It's half Italian grocery store and half Italian diner. I wasn't blown away by the selection of grocery goods but then I got to the bakery. I watched as the gentleman next to me spoke Italian beautifully, casually ordering a splendor of classic confectionery goodies. That certainly set a little Euro-mood & atmosphere for me which added to the experience I was about to embark on. And by "experience" I mean my taste-buds being obliterated by the pastry samples offered to me followed by a fresh pasta sample. I really liked the way they offered me a small taste before purchasing and without asking - it just felt very "New York" market to me. Then when I tasted the food I just felt like I was transported away to some breezy bistro on the coast of Italy where I was tasting the most authentic freshly housemade alfredo pasta with cheese filling - so worthy of the 5 lbs of fat I will likely gain over the next week :) I have no regrets! Highly recommended: -Butter tarts!!! -Chocolate & regular cannolis & cream pastries $2.25-$2.50 each. They make for a great midnight snack especially at a dinner/house party. I'm convinced that sharing the cannolis amongst the group late last night led to a few accidental romances tee hee. -Pepperoni pizza slice ($2.75 + tax). Wrapped in aluminum foil, the slice is kept warm and greasy and in this case that is everything you want. It was soooo good & simply flavored but just perfect and another indulgence worthy of fattening your rear posterior. Update: a lil tip, the pizza is best eaten right away. Crust seems to harden after an hour. -Minestrone soup - housemade with love :) small size is $5 + tax -Daily pasta - today's was fresh cheese-filled ravioli blanketed under a heavy rose-alfredo cream sauce. The pasta is up there with the best pastas I've tried in all of Toronto & GTA. The small pasta plate is $5 + tax. -Calamansi juice from St. Maarten is available (large box $2.25 + tax). Also on-site, a full bar stocked with spirits, liqueurs, beers & wine. -Final total: $26.57!! To try: -Macarons are a plenty & look so inviting -the closed cannolis with flakier crust (about two types I wanted to try) -tiramisu (offered in the kitchen area) So again, I highly recommend checking this spot out. It's a perfect casual spot to bring friends or family out of town for a bite to eat or to impress your date/colleagues with your great taste in food :) They will thank you, although...their waistlines may not. P.S. I broke my rules and wasn't able to take a photo of the above-described food. It was simply that good - it was almost impossible to think of anything else but how good the food smelled/looked/tasted & I lost track & forgot about the pics. Shame I didnt take a picture of everyone devouring the cannolis at our drunken party last night...now that would have been the best advertisement for Nino's ever made. Hopefully I'll be able to post some great food porn in the future.
