We chose Lo Zingaro for our restaurant of choice because it was near our Airbnb, the prices were decent, and the photos looked delicious. We arrived 30 minutes after it opened and there was lots of seating available but not empty. I loved the atmosphere in here. Nice music and decor. The heavy curtains that hang over the door really help keep the cold out when people enter.
I ordered the gnocchi and my boyfriend ordered a pizza. The gnocchi was so unbelievably soft and smooth. It's crazy how they were actually maintaining their shape. Great texture and the sauce was very nice.
I tried some of my boyfriends pizza and the crust is fantastic. The crushed tomato sauce was also very good. The only thing is he wished their was more meat throughout the pizza instead of just a few spots.
We ended our meal with tiramisu. It came in a bowl and we devoured it in maybe 2 minutes. It tasted wonderful. My boyfriend had a little espresso shot as well.
Service was decent except when I asked the waiter what he would prefer over 2 dishes, he didnt really have a true answer, just that their gnocchi is better than Gordon Ramsey's restaurants in Vegas. This is okay I guess, he just didn't seem confident.
I'll gladly come here again. Unfortauntely I'm not in Toronto too often but I would suggest coming here if you want a great spot to eat!
