We were walking around Toronto for about 4 hours, just taking in the city and being a tourist... when my feet started to ache and his stomach started to grumble. When we stopped at the intersection to see what was around us, we saw Standard.
It was holiday Monday so at first there was worry that a lot of venues would be closed. However as we walked up to the doors to peer in, a happy man with an Italian accent opened the door and said "Please come in, don't be shy" so, we did!
The restaurant doesn't look too special and was playing top 40 hits... I was uncertain what to expect, I ordered a glass of white wine and perused the menu.
We decided on sharing the arancini and the ravioli for our quick nosh. When the arancini came out I was shocked at how big they were, you definitely had to eat them in portions, but were those balls ever stuffed with cheese! The side of marinara to dip in was tasty too.
The ravioli tasted fresh and was a decent size portion with A LOT of rose sauce. I even made the comment of... "Oh wow its saucy" haha
Cute little place with good food, wish I was more hungry at the time to try more dishes.
