Just 6 weeks ago, Città opened in the up-and-coming neighbourhood of CityPlace between Spadina Ave. and Bathurst St. on Fort York Blvd. Nestled on the main floor of one of the many highrise buildings, this may just become the community's favourite brunch spot on the weekends or a lunch and dinner spot on weeknights!
Stepping into the new Southern Italian restaurant, you'll be greeted by an energetic atmosphere that is open but inviting. There are two wood-fire pizza ovens behind the pastries counter where you'll drool over the bombolini, cannoli, biscotti and muffins that are freshly baked in-house daily. Also, you'll love the floor-to-ceiling windows take up a good chunk of the entire restaurant that provide natural light during brunch hour!
When they brought out the zucchini muffins, I almost died because I love them and can't have them often unless they're baked at home - there are so many places that sell banana bread but never zucchini for some reason. Now, my prayers have been answered and I can come to Città for my zucchini bread cravings!
What an amazing brunch experience I had at this new spot in Cityplace (the great company helped too)! The staff was very knowledgeable of the restaurant's menu, the space is inviting and beautifully designed and the food was outstanding. I love traditional brunch menu items but it was great to have a not-so-conventional one. My personal favourites: Duck Egg Benedict and Burrata Crostini.
Oh, and I will have to go back soon for the pistachio bombolini and zucchini olive oil muffins!
