The Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
It's hard to imagine anything more pleasant than a refreshing sweet treat on a beautiful day in Little Italy. One of my first recommendations for any tourist would be to check out this part of the city, and stop at a patio for a drink. Before or after, step into The Mad Italian and take a cupped dessert for a walk.
Their treats are fresh and tasty. Gelatos and Sorbettos are offered in traditional and creative flavours, priced in the $4-6 range. The interior is clean and modern, and some customers choose this location for the full bar and seating. It's hard for me to imagine a Gelato place as a hangout, but this would probably be it.
