| - I've been here a couple of times now and I have to say, I'm always impressed with the food. They do the BEST grilled octopus I've ever had. It's a favourite dish of mine, and if I see it on a menu, I'll usually order it. I don't know what they do to it here that makes it so fantastically tender, but whatever it is they do, it works!
Their mushroom pasta (Mafalde ai Funghi) is also the best I've had. So tempting to want to order this every time, but I really want to try more items on their menu. Their pizzas look incredible, so I'll be trying one on my next visit for sure.
On my most recent visit, I had the kale salad (Insalata di Cavolo Nero) and was very light tasting. The currants and pine nuts really work in this dish. Just a hint of sweetness amidst the tartness of the lemon vinaigrette. Really good! Had to have some of their red sangria, too. Perfect summer drink.
The first time I came here, I wasn't overly impressed with the service, but it's definitely improved since then.
Also, their house bread is fantastic. Fresh from their oven, it's definitely worth getting a basket for the table. I don't think they used to charge for the bread, but they do now. In any case, if you like bread, get it! I think this is my new favourite restaurant in Toronto.
