Editorial Review

Waiters serve up plates of typical Italian fare, such as pizza, pasta, chicken parmigiana and veal cutlet sandwiches, to a young, casual crowd. The spacious restaurant features soccer scarves and TVs for decoration. The “big plate” lets customers sample four different items—lasagna, chicken cacciatore, pizza and penne alfredo, say—for just $10.95. The creatively inclined might build their own pizzas using the usual peppers and pepperoni, or dabble in more gourmet items, such as pesto, clams, prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes. Tank top–wearing teens slurp chocolate, vanilla and strawberry milkshakes (self-proclaimed “Toronto’s best”), while alternative rock blares in the background. Mains $3.75–$14.75.
