This place has become one of my favorites in Toronto and a secret cure for the Monday night "eating out blues" when most good Italian restaurants take the night off. Excellent food, thoughtfully prepared. Even the insalata mista signals that you are in a better place than usual. How? very clean and cold lettuces, tasty tomatoes and and high quality olive oil, a light hand with dressing, hand tossed. The pastas reflect the same personal pride and care, while the atmosphere is low-key, friendly and accommodating. For now, it's a sleeper--not to be missed.

I was sent to La Cascina by my Yelp Friend!
Happy Hour: drinks for $10 with complimentary Italian appetizer!
Rustic Abruzzo food: meat and seafood based since Abruzzo is located in South Central Italy with mountain and by the coast.
Nothing rustic about La Cascina decor! Love the dark wooden and blue theme. The decor is quite chic and I was welcomed with open arms. The restaurant is small, cosy and the services are attentive and friendly.
Bar stools are cushioned with padding and are quite comfy as I enjoying my aperitivo by sipping my white wine and enjoying my snacks.
The little plate includes cheese, beans, peas, sausages and rice ball. After the savoury item, my friendly waitress presented me with Salame di Cioccolato which is a traditional Italian holiday treat. The lady that made the sweet was sitting right next to me and I have to tell her that it was the best part of my Happy Hour!!
I really like the concept of having a daily menu as it is depends on what kind of fresh meat/veggie/fish they get from their suppliers. Some of their ingredients are shipped directly from Italy too! Price point wise a main is around $20 which is reasonably priced.
I can't wait to go back and try out some of their home made Italian comfort food...... Hopefully soon!! -

As authentic as it gets. Great home made pasta dishes. The fettucini and the pappardelle with plain tomato sauce are as good as my mamma makes. Shhhhh...don't tell her I said that. The gnocchi are just as awesome. Perfectly firm and delectable. Meat and fish dishes are always changing. Very good wine selection that is reasonably priced. Not your usual extensive "menu". The selection is moderate but whatever me, my wife or kids choose, we are always impressed...That's why we keep going back.

Italian restaurant that serves food typical of the region of Abruzzo. If your a picky Italian who is reluctant to go to an Italian restaurant, this place is for you. If you love Italian or slow food this place cannot be missed. Owners Luca (chef) and Sharifa (service) create a fresh and welcoming environment with a changing menu for each service, emphasis on quality, local sustainability and professional service.
