| - Located on the East side of Weston Road just between Landstaff and Hwy 7 in Woodbridge, Vinsanto Ristorante is laying down quality high end Italian eats paired with even higher end customer service.
A meeting brought me here where i was unexpectedly coaxed into having lunch (sure quality Italian food...really twisting my arm right?) the decor of this spot is flawless, high ceilings, marble bar and dark wood matched with quality table settings and linens make this place super high end in my books (and new addition to the "Places Kris will take his dates to impress them" list - to come).
One could stand and brag about the fixtures, decor, and bustling lunch time vibe all day (as I just have) but the 2 points about this ristorante that put it head and shoulders above the rest in my books is the food and the service.
One of my lunch mates decided today to "take it easy" and have the house butter-nut squash soup. Served hot and thick with a dollop of heavy cream in the center, I swear they had gotten the courses wrong for when I was offered a taste of this soup the warm pleasant brown sugar flavours (the perfect pairing for butter nut squash) filled my mouth and made me think dessert instead of antipasti! Buono!!!
For myself I decided to indulge in a taste of the slightly less healthy and chose the lunch time special Calabrese Pizza- tomato sauce, mozzarella, hot soppresata, black olives and capicola $15. Mamma Mia!!! I paired this with their house hot pepper olive oil and I forgot all about what little room I had for lunch and went into eating autopilot, nodding and smiling to the conversation at hand while I wolfed down my salty spicy, thin crusted pie. Slap me sideways I think I just messed in my pants thinking about this again - Yes, folks this is one of those fabled "Ooooooooooouuuuuu" moments (please see my Oooooouuuuuu list).
Food aside the other X-factor of this place is the level of service we received here, not only from our server, who was hilarious and joked with us, but also from owner John who came to sit with us at one point just to say hello and check to make sure everything was A-OK. John is 150% about service, I watched as he made his rounds to almost every table checking on everyone and making a point to greet every person as they walked in. THIS is old school Italian Customer Service at its finest.
I have plans to return to Vinsanto very shortly to eat again, and then AGAIN shortly after that - I hope you join me - You won't be disappointed.
