This worn-in neighbourhood mainstay could use some freshening up, but that doesn’t deter the St. Clair West crowd from wolfing down its near-perfect pizzas and bang-on pastas. With a mix of classic and creative flair, the concise menu holds many gems. A perfect nest of spaghetti carbonara, with light and eggy parmesan sauce and generous pieces of smoky pancetta, reveals the kitchen’s deft touch. Neapolitan pizza crusts—light, chewy and crispy-edged—get topped with such inspired combos as hot peppers, spicy capicollo, shrimp and crotonese cheese. Mains $9–$24.
