An old affordable standby for Italian food, Joe Badali's has long been on our "go to" list of great places to eat. Joe's expansive, impressive menu always has appeal (& surprises!) for me. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the restaurant's great location (so near Union Station, the CBC, CN Tour/Ripley's Aquarium/Roger's Skydome), make it for us a natural choice when hosting out-of-towners.
