| - Nove means "nine", but with a grill like no other, dining here is a clear "ten". From the moment we open the doors we are welcomed by the aromas of the charcoal grill and wood-fired oven. Cornish hen, tender and crisp, is the star of a platter of grilled meats from NY strip steak to Ontario lamb. Chef Rick Antonucci makes his rounds to ensure his guests are content.
We are. Risotto with field mushrooms and reggiano cheese, simmered in white wine and mushroom stock, is a luscious mouthful of flavour. The pizzas are chock full of a garden of ingredients, and we devour the crunchy thin crust. Fresh linguini simmered in a white wine tomato broth ribbons around a medley of king crab, shrimp, calamari, mussels and clams. We arrive early, knowing tables fill up, for the love of good food.
