| - Tired of the uppity atmosphere abundant in many of Yorkville's finer dining establishments? Well then, my friends, you must check out Caffe di Portici, the best place for simple and delicious Italian that no one has heard about yet. It's an easy place to overlook. Although it's basically at the corner of Yonge & Davenport and totally accessible, it's on Scollard, a street most people don't tend to walk down unless they live on it. And from the outside, admittedly, it looks like just another run-of-the-mill, mediocre cafe. I live in front of the darn thing and it took me months before I finally decided to check it out just because I was too lazy to walk into Yorkville that day - but when I did I was blown away by the lovely fresh simplicity of the ingredients (oh the bufala mozzarella in their caprese salad!!), the tastiness of their pasta-of-the-day specials (omg the pasta fagioli!), the perfect crisp of the bread they serve you on the side and in their paninis. Definitely a place to check out and fall in love with when you're in the mood for a no-fuss, pretty affordable and dang satisfying meal.
