  • Wow, this place is awesome! Small and intimate like many a Toronto restaurant but not cramped or too loud. Beautifully lit with warm wood decor. The chairs could use an update but its a small complaint for an otherwise lovely experience. My bff and I rolled in for a late dinner about 9ish on a Wednesday so we had no trouble getting a table. My vegetarian friend had recommended this place to me because they not only have vegetarian options but they aren't afterthoughts, they are made with love and thought and intent. But first the wine... Only local or Italian wines are available but they have a great booklet of wine describing each type and region for anyone not sure about either local or Italian wines. Our server let me try a couple as well when picking my second glass which I always appreciate. We had 3 different ones between us and I thought they were all quite nice. A bit on the pricey side $12-15 per glass but bottles seemed better priced if you're up for it. For dinner the menu is traditional Italian style as other reviewers have mentioned. I picked a warm dish to start - cannelini beans with artichoke and parmesean and I know it doesn't sound like much but it was freaking delicious! So much so I'm hoping to make it myself when I'm off to Spain next week as all those ingredients are readily available there. They were happy to tell me how they made it too which I also appreciated. My bff was equally thrilled with her ceasar salad with pancetta - she was glowing about the dressing - I'd be happy to try that next time (sans pancetta of course). For mains, I picked the pasta that was hand rolled trofie in a zucchini creme sauce. My only complaint about the meal was here - the trofie was a touch too al dente for my taste but that zucchini creme sauce was so amazing I ate the whole thing anyway. My bff had the special of the day which was a ravioli stuffed with sweet potato and lamb I think in a red sauce that she loved as well. For dessert we tried two different ones - a fritter dish with three small fritters with a bit of sauce I can't remember exactly and a canoli. Have to be honest here, we didn't love either. The fritters were a bit bland as was the sauce (although cooked perfectly) and the canoli was really hard with a very meh-tasting filling. We should have had the panna cotta. Next time! I like that they use ingredients from their own garden, source locally and seem to really care about what they are serving. This also means they change their menu frequently which should keep returning customers happy over time. We paid by debit if that's useful. A truly winning dinner, I can't wait to go back.
