Italian dining in Toronto

Toronto holds the name of most multicultural city in the world. With over 8,000 restaurants and eat outs to choose from, it has proven its strong reputation.

College Street has been the home to 'little Italy' for over 50 years with old school tradition of home style pasta cooking. College west from Bathurst street to Ossington you have a wide array of mom an pop shops, cafes and patios, bars and supper clubs to choose from. Oven baked pizzas with fresh ingredients prepared right in front of your face with old stone ovens. Instead of lavish decorations and Gotti  environments, the restaurants welcome you with a cozy home feel with dim lights, candles lit, dark traditional furniture, and a mix between lounge music or classic filling the air in the background. Instead of ketchup and your usual condiments at the table, here sits a bottle of olive oil and vinaigrette dressing to accompany your breads for dipping.

Wines are a must when dining in this area. From bold, heavy Shiraz's to a crisp Chardonnay, Italy upholds a notorious reputation for old recipes offering the fine aromas of Italy's grapes.  And lastly of course, pastas. Crafted dishes with heavy sauces and creams, seafood incorporated dishes, baked goods, and antipasto dishes with cold cuts, cheeses, and olives to indulge in are mandatory on the menu.
