I have lived in or near Forest Hill Village for most of my life and I have to concur with the other reviews, Pizza Banfi truly is a hidden gem.
My relationship with this place goes back at least 15 years, when I was a much younger man. It was a time in my life where the contents of my fridge consisted of BBQ sauce and mustard (seriously...I couldn't make this stuff up). Thankfully, Pizza Banfi was my kitchen and dining room. I can honestly say that I have eaten every dish on their menu and enjoyed almost all of them. The food has been consistently delicious over all these years and the service has been like family.
Some of my favourite dishes are:
- the Bresaola & Pear salad
- the Prosciutto & Parmigiano
- the Caesar salad
- the Linguini with mushrooms and a round of goat cheese in a tomato sauce
- the Calabrese pizza
- and...of course the tiramisu
Overall, Pizza Banfi has been a well kept secret amongst those in the know for a long time. Perhaps it's time to share it with the rest of the world. Enjoy Pizza Banfi. I know I have.
