Although the deep-fried baccalà with tripe ragù and aioli served by chef Rocco Agostino and his Enoteca Sociale crew—including hostess Lauren Wilton—was excellent, it’s the anticipation of Agostino’s second Pizzeria Libretto location that had our pizza-loving hearts pounding. The opening date for the Danforth and Carlaw location is projected for September. Wilton also told us that the patio is now open at Enoteca, translating to 40 more seats and a slightly better chance at snagging a table at the restaurant.

June 17, 2011 at 4:22 pm | by EstherApparently Toronto only has a dozen or so restaurants to choose from. And they are all downtown. It doesn’t really say much for the citiy does it..and seriously get off the O&B bandwagon. They are just another chain now.

June 21, 2011 at 8:10 am | by hildaO&B may have become a chain, but I’ll take it over Milestones, Baton Rouge, Jack Astor’s or any of the other crappy chains that have been invading downtown the last few years.
June 21, 2011 at 10:05 am | by helenmattagascar, yours is a cheap shot. O&B should be thanked for their gracious support of Toronto Taste for all these years. All the food and all the labour are DONATED. Thank you O&B and thank you to every chef, waiter, dishwasher, sommelier, winemaker, ticket taker, ticket buyer and volunteer for your generous participation and support for Second Harvest.

June 26, 2011 at 8:52 am | by mauri1Team sports iovpmre cooperation and communication skills in a number of ways. First, you have to learn to work together in order to achieve a common goal. You are all trying to win, hopefully, so this is your common goal. If everyone on the team doesn’t cooperate, then no one will be in sync, your plan won’t work, and you will lose the game. In relation to communication, everyone on the team has to cooperate and this takes verbal and nonverbal expression of common goals, or communicating verbally and non verbally. Everyone on the team has to be on the same page and this cannot be accomplished unless there is a great deal of communication between every player on the team. This is only a jumping off point, so I hope it’s helpful in getting you started.
