Not much has changed at this uptown trattoria since it opened 14 years ago: tables are still lacquered with pages from magazines, lamps still hang from the ceiling, and grated Parmesan still comes in a jam jar. Even the crowd—uptown families and young couples—is the same, but nobody is complaining, especially not about the expansive, affordable menu. A pair of crispy, plump sardines, moist and sweet inside, sit on top of onions, tomatoes and capers that have been sautéed in bright green olive oil. Handmade, pillowy gnocchi swim in a satisfying Gorgonzola cream sauce, despite having too much cream and not enough salty blue cheese. The menu warns that the Canadian rib-eye is “not lean,” but those who enjoy a well-marbled steak will love the cross-hatched, peppery piece of juicy, rare meat saturated in a red wine jus. Mains $10–$22.
