Cafe Cinquecento

416-203-9390

Pictures of Italy adorn the red walls of this bustling spot. The classic menu is filled with such dishes as penne primavera, pan-seared salmon and salads, like the insalata rustica with goat cheese, roasted red peppers and a balsamic reduction. The last Monday of each month features a mouth-watering treat: La Notte Delle Mamme, which sees the mothers of five staff members cooking traditional Italian dishes, with a third of each $60 ticket donated to charity. Mains $10–$18.
