| - Finally got to visit this small and delightful spot out on the fringe of Dundas West. It was a surprise for K, who needed some good food and drink after a rough week at work. She was delighted. The menu is a collection of small dishes, all with an Italian theme. We shared four in total and K had two cocktails. We started with Ricotta Toast and Arancini, followed by a single sardine. All three were really, really good - tell your friends good, in fact, which is what I have been doing. We finished with a dark chocolate zeppoli; it was an almost perfect evening. K's cocktails were sublime (I don't drink but I taste), the first a Bourbon Sour and the second the Monkey Shoulder Old Fashioned. The owner, bartender and chef all took time to make sure we understood what was available and what they recommended, without being over-friendly. The interior is sparse but not austere, and cozy as all get out. I don't ant to say too much, because you should just go and discover for yourself how nice a simple evening can be.
Currently only open in the evenings, there are plans to open during the day for coffee. The owner is a well regarded barista, so I really cannot wait until then.
