| - This cozy-cool, unassuming little "Italian-ish" restaurant has one of the best Caesar salads I've had in awhile. The dressing is addictively pungent...so garlicky, so zesty...and who needs boring old croutons when you have crunchy, smoky Hickory Sticks?
We also shared the beef reginette: perfectly al dente ribbons of pasta with tender braised beef cheek in a rich tomato sauce.
Didn't try the pizza, but next time I'm taking a lil tipsy tour down the Ossington strip I'll definitely stop by for a slice from the takeout window.
Quick story: I had read they have a "secret bar" in the back, only accessible through the back alley, called SP184. So back to the alley we went, and sure enough, there was a door marked SP184 illuminated by a bright pink light. But the door was locked. So we knocked. And someone answered it, asked us for the password (I said the first thing that came to mind: "beef ragu") but he laughed and said he was just joking, and then shut the door. Apparently SP184 is a space you can rent out for a party, but it ain't no speakeasy. Haha oops!!
