I recently had the opportunity to try True True Pizza on King Street, just east of Jarvis. The pizzeria, which recently reopened after re-branding from One Pizza, offers uniquely shaped, oblong, personal sized pizzas with a variety of different toppings where customers can customize to their liking. These toppings include the usual suspects found in […]
The appetizer round consisted of the following ingredients: beetroot powder, pepperoni, sun dried tomatoes, and long beans. Since this is an imaginary meal and I’m also not a contestant on Chopped, I have all the time I have. Thus, I’m going to make pizza (actually, I’ll probably make some sort of open-faced sandwich if I […]
I recently had the opportunity to have dinner at the newest Buca restaurant, Buca Osteria & Bar. Located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto’s Yorkville area, this restaurant is different from the King Street locations. Rather than focusing on meat, this restaurant is full of seafood choices (don’t worry, there are non-seafood dishes as […]
It’s not hard to admit that Toronto has a love affair with pizza, especially thin crust pizza. However, most pizza places offer the same old choices, and usually not vegan or gluten-intolerant friendly. This is NOT the case with Magic Oven, which boasts five locations across the 416. Visit the restaurant’s website and you will […]
I can’t believe it took me over one year to have a proper meal at Osteria dei Ganzi, a restaurant on Jarvis Street, near the National Ballet School. The last time I went there was for its media launch in June of 2013, where we had the chance to taste several of their offerings, including […]
There have been several restaurants located at 137 Avenue Road, located just a bit north of Bloor with various different types of cuisines, including Indian and Italian. In fact, I had reviewed the Indian restaurant once when this site was still known as Prospere Magazine. Sadly, it closed shortly after the article was published. Then […]
There are plenty of pizza places in Toronto, ranging from old school delivery chains like Pizza Pizza (a high school and university favourite, but I have to admit that I have since out grown them) and Pizzaiolo to more “new school” locales, especially in the downtown area. Some of the regular places my husband and […]
Eataly is perhaps one of the most interesting foodie spots in New York. Part market and part restaurant, this 50,000 square foot space, it is the American location of a space of the same name located in Torino, Italy. The New York location has several sit down dining spaces, each specializing in a different type […]
The idea of home-style Italian food done really, really well seems to be the underlying theme of Toronto’s new Italian hideaway, Buca. The unassuming decor- bare brick walls, wood floors and bare light fixtures- allow diners to focus on the food first and foremost. And what amazing food it is. Chef Rob Gentile, who trained […]
Last week I dined at Trattoria Mercatto at the Toronto Eaton Centre. It wasn’t my first trip to the new restaurant, but my third. However, it was the first time I had a full pizza there. There are several on the menu to choose from, about seven in total. The one I had this time […]
