"Hands down best coffee in Toronto. Rob Gentile is as insane as he is gorgeous. Hint: they allow you to upgrade your cappuccino to buffalo milk, and their normal milk is a creamy, organic version from Quebec!"

"Lambs brains with prosciutto. I could eat these every day. The salty and crunchy taste mixed with salsa verde is the perfect balance."

"This is the best housemade charcuterie in town. The assortments are amazing and rich in flavour. I especially enjoy the prosciutto and Calabrese sausage. All of the cheese is fresh and fantastic, but I suggest the creamy Taleggio. Don't forget to order the Nodini and marinated olives. The Nodini are so addictive that they become an item that everyone fights for at the table. Olive oil, garlic, and rosemary bread knots are also so incredible!"

"I love the cervello, which is comprised of lamb's brain alla saltimbocca with Sicilian caper agliata. Get a basket of these and a glass of Barbera!"
