  • I stand corrected: Zucca is the best authentic Italian in Toronto. With an unassuming street façade, it's demure to passers-by, but hard to leave once you're on the warm inside. The chefs daughter is celiac, so they were very knowledable about gluten-free options. In fact, instead of bread and oil, we were served a chickpea- flour bread baked with rosemary--it was melt-in-your-mouth, and multiples better than the polenta it resembled. Service was very articulate beyond just wheat-free suggestions. We tasted and learned about Gattinara wines, from vineyards in the Northwest of Italy, from the very owner! The server and owner both took time to sit with us at the table--they were brimming with hospitality and yet exuded authority with their suggestions. Our plates were served gracefully, deftly. The meal: We were offered a choice between a special tasting menu, a $25 prix fixe (salad, pasta & desert) and the full menu. I chose a la carte. Along with the chick-pea cakes, the olives were the best I've ever had--spicy, sweet, black and wrinkly. I didn't even know that olives could even be improved upon! The Amore Negro wine was incredible--the bouquet, the smoothness--as was the Sangiovese. I had trouble resisting the octopus salad, but settled on the white asparagus with hollandaise and white polenta! It was divine!! My entrée was the branzino stuffed with rosemary and bay, served with olive oil that the fluffy meat just absorbs like magic, accompanied by stuffed artichokes and chard. For desert, I split flourless chocolate cake with ricotta tart with a friend, but I must return for the meringue! I can't believe how many times I walked past Zucca, perfectly situated just South of Y& Eg. All it took was a friend to make the recommendation--now we're hooked!
