This funky Italian restaurant presents traditional Italian fare in relaxed but hip digs overlooking a lovely green patch of the Stevens Road area. Priding itself on authentic fare, a smoky oven churns out pizzas to order, and these pies have attracted quite a following among in-the-know foodies in the neighbourhood. Choose from a comprehensive menu of practically every pizza flavour known to Man, from a piquant Puglia pie topped with anchovies, kalamata olives, artichokes, and mushrooms to the ubiquitous and controversial Hawaiian. If you’re a purist, stick to classic flavours like Cipolla e Pancetta, a red-sauce pie scattered with crispy pancetta, onions, and melty cheese.

There’s also pasta dishes that will help fix any Italian craving. Think well-made authentic pasta plates here, none of that watered-down business you tend to find in Italian joints around the city. The Bucatini All’Amatriciana is a heavenly plate of tubular spaghetti tossed in a spicy, porky sauce of tomatoes, cured Guanciale (pork cheek), and tangy pecorino cheese. The Carbonara is a close cousin, made with a cheese and egg sauce instead of tomato, and prepared exactly as it is in Rome, with lashings of spicy rendered lard, black pepper, and no cream whatsoever. Grilled steaks and fish round out the menu, though honestly we think the hefty pizza and pasta plates will keep even the greediest of diners happy. (Jan 2018)
