What to Order
3 dishes
House-made pasta
The kitchen's clearest strength — whichever fresh pasta is on the menu tends to arrive with proper texture and a sauce that supports rather than overwhelms
Risotto
A reliable fixture done properly — loose and al dente, not the gluey over-stirred version many Toronto Italian kitchens produce
V
Tiramisu
A classic finish executed with a real espresso hit and mascarpone that hasn't been lightened into irrelevance
