This restaurant went unnoticed by me until very recently, as I was walking down Yonge. I'd never heard of it, which is surprising because it is exceptional. It reminds me of the homemade meals in central Italy, and that should be enough of a vote of confidence. The atmosphere draws on some of the Venetian styles (albeit in a very modest North American way), which is very welcoming and adds to the experience. A great place to bring a date.
