Italian food and drink in the [Greater Toronto Area]

I rarely order tomato sauce at Italian restaurants.

To each one’s own, of course.

nice meal at Contrada on College St

radicchio salad

duck confit agnolotti


sauteed greens, including broccolini. I was happy to see it was a generous serving.


housemade bread, with garlic, apparently the chef’s mom’s recipe.

chocolate bar dessert. cookie base, chocolate mousse, banana caramel.

The servers were lovely.

I would go back.

Viaggio is still my favourite for a place between Bathurst and Roncy.

Recently stopped in at the Queen St. location of Sud Forno, searching for their mortadella panettone. It was a Saturday, so they had a porchetta sandwich station, which we couldn’t resist. The pork itself was juicy, nicely herbed, with delicious crispy skin. It was loaded into a crusty ciabatta bun with caramalized onions, cooked rapini, and a dash of olive oil. Mmm mmm good. We also rounded out our order with their yummy mortadella sandwhich on a focaccia festooned with olives and red peppers.

Alas, they kept selling out while we were still in the city. We are now in Alberta, visiting relatives.

No, we only learned about it this year, so we were curious.
