DrJohn:
Foxley, Libretto, Mamakas, Bar Piquette, Bernhardt’s, Forno Cultura, Bang Bang, and La Cubana at very least.
On Ossington, my go-to has been Union for its bistro food and heated back patio.
Not far from Ossington, Badiali’s serves my favourite pizza in Toronto. @calam1ty , if you head to Badiali’s, go midweek mid-afternoon to avoid the line. I think it’s also possible to order ahead online.
Also not too far from Ossington, I continue to like the food at Enoteca Sociale.
Inspired by the dessert spots thread starting a thread for Toronto GTA pizza spots.
for delivery a safe backup is North of Brooklyn
Cafe Oro did Napoli
Libretto was below average last couple of times
Badiali which seems to be the rage nowadays
Quinto Basta was decent find in the neighborhood
Nervosa is ok if you want to be in the middle of Yorkville
Eataly hmm below average for all the types I have tried there
I tried Badiali today so maybe that pushed it a bit
