Romantic dinner date in Little Italy Toronto

Romantic dinner date in Little Italy Toronto

You can’t mull over a date in Little Italy without including an Italian restaurant option in this eclectic part of town. This small restaurant is everything you look for in a traditional Italian spot. There’s burgundy seating and stained wood flooring, fine wines proudly parading every inch of shelf space, linen napkins and a reliable menu of pastas, risottos and fish dishes. There's also a small patio, complete with an awning, flower boxes and the Italian flag. It brings to mind Rome – and romance.
