| - Bar Buca is one of my go-to spots in Toronto. Although I have tried all three, this is probably my favorite of the Buca dynasty because it's just so versatile. You can come here at any time of the day (or night) whether it be for brunch, coffee, or some glasses of wine. It's refreshing to have a place where you can go for a coffee past six o'clock. It feels very European. The interior is sleek and modern with high ceilings. The food is simple yet elegant. They have a to-go counter as well. They are even open on holidays!
Some of my all-star favorites:
--Uove Strapazatte: Mixture of turkey, goose and duck eggs with burrata cheese and truffles, topped with basil and served with grilled ciabatta bread. Spectacular.
---Bombolone: I like them right out of the oven, oozing with lemon & pistachio cream.
--Zeppole: Again, incredible fried dough filled with pistachio cream
--Schiacciatas (stuffed focaccias), especially the porchetta one.
--Assaggi di Pasticceria: two-tiered pastry tower with various goods such as cannoli siciliani, biscotti alla semolina, torta cioccolatino, pizzelle etc.
--Caprese salad: stylish and creative take on this classic tomato salad where the "caprese" is really the sauce.
Can't go wrong with this place.
