| - Via Cibo is one of my favourite spots in Toronto. Since discovering it earlier this year, I have probably been here at least half a dozen times for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Service is fantastic, and the food is consistently good (and reasonably priced).
One thing I love about this place is the portion size. I go home happy and full. Also, I cannot make an order without having a side of Tuscan fries. The fries alone are perfection, but the truffle oil, rosemary and grana padano elevate this concoction to godly levels. I love them so much that for the longest time I would not forgo them to try the via poutine. One day we just ordered both, and I am glad we did. The ragu surprisingly went really well with the fries!
My favourite dishes are probably the steak panino and steak salad, but that might be because I like steak. The piadinas are really good, albeit a bit messy to eat. Of the pastas, I've only tried the broccolini and sausage, and did find it a bit underwhelming. For brunch, I had the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes and was very pleased with it although it was a bit sweet for my taste. As for drinks, you can't go wrong with an Italian soda or any espresso-based drink.
Come here for a casual date, lunch with the kids or by simply by yourself. You'll be happy you did.
