Wow. Can you still call it carrot cake after all that?

Take-out from Bar Vendetta.
I will dine on the back patio at some point. Very good. The tagliatelle with lemon was $22, bitter green salad was $16.
The pastas run $19-$24, when the 4 or 5 Italian restos on College from Grace to Euclid run closer to $21-28 for pastas. (Edit: Il Padrino’s are under $26, Quadro’s are $24.95-$28.50, Sotto Voce $15-$26, will check Il Covo $23-$26)
Il Covo was good in 2019. Il Covo is only open Thu-Sun.
I will get around to trying Il Padrino and Quadro at some point.
I’m intrigued that Jen Agg can keep her pastas under $25. Different business structure, and I bet she sells more cocktails. Bar Vendetta is open 7 nights a week, whereas Quadro is only open Wed-Sat.

Glad you liked it. We liked the tagliatelle. Actually we liked all the pastas - only one we didn’t try was the spaghetti. Cocktails were good, but the wine selection is even better.

Good to know!
Picked up steamed won tons ($9), a mushroom and tofu bowl / bun ($17) and iced Vietnamese coffee ($6) at Hem Social on Dundas W near Dufferin. I liked it. Casual place. Food was ready in 10 minutes.

This is the $35 before tax and tip premium sushi set.
672 College St, same block as Giulietta and Lardo.
Enjoyed the paella, patatas bravas, octopus and crab croquettes from Salt Wine Bar tonight. I will be back!
I ordered over the phone and picked it up myself.
I had considered ordering online for Bar Isabel, but only a handful of the dishes were available.

@calam1ty , I took a peek at 2Good2Go, and noticed a few upscale spots like Eataly , as well as some indie coffee shops (Merseyside) are using it. I might give it a try.
Sorry the Levant order didn’t work out for you and your SO. Will be interesting to see which places offer more bang for the buck.
I have been meaning to try Lardo on College, next to Barocco x Nino. I like the pizza slices at Barocco x Nino, and they also post and sell their leftovers /extras on 2Good2Go.

Take away from a new burger joint that just opened in the nabe.
“Aloette Burger” 4oz patty/griddled emmental cheese/dijonaise/lettuce/pickled onions crinkle cuts fries(over salted) and a free CC cookie they gave me because I told them how screwed up their online ordering system was.
Burger was tasty, nothing mind blowing for $12. Fries were good and crispy $6 and the cookie was free so I can’t complain $22 bucks CAD alll in including tax and tip. Might give them a second chance cause my burger options are kinda limited round these parts.

Had a good take-out meal from Bar Vendetta tonight: cacio e pepe crown, rigatoni with shrimp and bacon, cheesy garlic bread, meatballs and tomato salad. It’s becoming a go-to for me.
Patio season is winding down. Danny’s Pizza Tavern, Birreira Volo (College St) and Taverniti’s had relatively busy patios on College St tonight. Most other patios were not busy at all. Pompette’s patio was empty.

I’ve had good luck this weekend:
Yesterday, a cheeseburger at Rudy, which was $8.45 before tax, around $9.61 after tax. I like their cheeseburger more than HappyBurger and as much as Harry’s Charbroiled.
Today:
Breakfast sandwich with sausage at Masa Deli inside Housecoat Coffee on Dovercourt Rd. Excellent.
Fattoush, falafel and mejadra from Tabule on Yonge
I tried Patois’ jerk chicken chow mein ($27) and Trini mac pie ($13.50) tonight.
Large amount of chow mein noodles, 3 baby bok choi and maybe 4 ounces of chicken. There were enough noodles for 2 or 3 people. The chicken tasted good.
The Trini mac pie was tasty. Kind of small for $13.50 before tax and tip.
This place was packed on a Thursday.
I probably won’t order from here again. It was pretty salty. Very popular with people in their 20s and 30s.
Fonda Balam and Bar Vendetta serve better food at a similar price point.

So, Sunnys doesn’t offer take-out. I guess I’ll get my fancy modern Chinese take-out from Dailo or Alma!

I ordered the platter for 2 ($62- 2 schnitzel, perogies, 2 cabbage rolls and 5 vegetables) and the chicken polpety (meatballs $24.95) with potato dumplings ($2.99 upgrade from plain potatoes) and vegetables (included )from Cafe Polonez, through the Ritual app. Great value. Very generous , I won’t have to cook tomorrow!
No photos of the polpety.

Happy with my Pho Phuong order placed through Ritual. I liked the shrimp and coconut milk cakes and the rice flour rolls. I didn’t like their crab and egg cake much. I am fussy about crab.

You meant to say ‘crabby about crab’, right?

Touché.
I think the crab used was frozen or canned, and maybe some offal was mixed in. I don’t know.
I love love love good crab, but rarely order it in Toronto.
