Hand down one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Food, atmosphere and service all perfect.
Came here for dinner on a trip to Toronto and wasn't disappointed. It's a very small restaurant that doesn't jump out at you while walking down the street. You walk down some stairs into a dimly lit room with pictures of various celebrities who have visited on the wall. It's a very intimate setting and a great place to come with a date. FYI, a reservation is absolutely needed.
I had the Pennette Via Frattina which is penne with wood smoked salmon and asparagus. The most delicious italian dish I've ever had. A bold statement to make, but everything about the dish was perfect. Sauce was absolutely delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Also had the Gamberetti Limone for appetizer which is shrimp in wine sauce with fresh lemon. Absolutely lights out. Both meals were about as perfect as you can get.
I think this is the perfect place frankly. Delicious food and intimate atmosphere in a really cool part of town. This was by far the stand out meal on this trip and I haven't had an italian meal thats been comparable ever since. My advice: Make a reservation and get to this place immediately. Likely one of the best restaurants in Toronto.
