Editorial Review
As reliable as a mother’s love, this cozy eatery continues to please patriotic Queen’s Park bureaucrats with classic dishes and the city’s most modest markup on a decent, Italy-focused wine list. And who else would charge zero corkage on Ontario VQAs? The nosh is competent and controlled. Barely singed oyster mushrooms are super-sweet in their extra-virgin olive oil, and Boston lettuce–radicchio salad is fresh under a slightly sharp house vinaigrette. Linguine pescatore brings much squid, baby mussels, scallops and shrimp, all moist and tender, tossed with agreeably pre–al dente pasta. The salty prosciutto layer on vitello saltimbocca pleases. Warm, familial service from owners the Valentini brothers. Mains $16–$29.
