| - Another visit, this time for a special occasion. We were looking for something in the neighbourhood, with good, inexpensive food.
Walked in around 7:30p, and were seated by the window. The other options included by the bar and the communal table. This location does take reservations though.
We ordered:
1. Caprese salad - very milky, creamy and light fiore di latte paired with ripe Ontario heirloom tomatoes. A great start!
2. Libretto meatballs - three 1.5" meatballs bathed in a chunky, spicy tomato sauce and a thin slice of grilled crostini. I enjoyed the meatballs very much and found the spicy kick to be just enough. Recommend.
3. House-made sausage pizza with caramelized onion and chili oil - As my SO described it, Pizzeria Libretto somehow managed to make a thin crust that is chewy, dense and light all at the same time. Well done! It may look very thin, but don't let that fool you. This is a hearty dish.
4. I also ordered one of their cocktails with the peach puree, but forget the name. It was okay. Next time I'm getting my usual aranciada, which serves me well. SO ordered a red which was also just okay. I think it was the Sangiovese "Capato" 2010 DOC.
I was quite full and rolling out of the door at that point. I literally couldn't button my jacket up. No space for dessert! They didn't have the panna cotta on the menu, anyways. A summer dessert?? As long as it returns in some form...
Friendly, well-timed service. Solid dining experience. So happy that it's easily accessible and doesn't have the stupid line-ups that the Ossington location is known for.
