Adding pic and feedback for the carrot cake. I enjoyed it though it has coconut, pineapple and raisins (hate on raisins has been trending for a while). The ginger pieces added another layer of flavor for me. I might try Avant Gout again for sure

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 Padrinoâs are under $26, Quadroâs 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.
Iâm 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 didnât 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 didnât 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.
âAloette Burgerâ 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 canât 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. Itâs becoming a go-to for me.
Patio season is winding down. Dannyâs Pizza Tavern, Birreira Volo (College St) and Tavernitiâs had relatively busy patios on College St tonight. Most other patios were not busy at all. Pompetteâs patio was empty.

Iâve 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 Harryâs Charbroiled.
Today:
Breakfast sandwich with sausage at Masa Deli inside Housecoat Coffee on Dovercourt Rd. Excellent.
Fattoush, falafel and mejadra from Tabule on Yonge
