Best pizza in the City! (Even better than Bitondo's... but more expensive so I tend to get Bitondo's more.)

Order it with bacon and you will be rewarded.

Their caeser salad is also SO GOOD!

The rest of their food is good, but I once ordered the…More »

Before the Tim Hortons opened up about a year ago, I used to come here on the regular for take-out coffee.  The coffee was usually good, occasionally it would taste like it was sitting on the burner too long.  But meh.

I remember when this Pizza Nova first opened about 20 years ago.  It used to be a KFC wayyyyyyyy back in the day and every one thought it was silly that a pizza franchise was opening up in the heart of Little Italy.

Their falafel's ($3.79) and shwarma's ($4.89) are very good and include tabouli (which other places charge an extra $1 for.)

Not too keen on the microwave use, as Ali Baba's on Dundas fries their balls to order.

I'm surprised to see the amount of 2 and 3 stars.  Not to say that it wasn't a justified score, but I've been eating at the Standard for almost 15 years and am happy with the food and service there.  Granted, some of the waitresses there are not the…More »

Magnolia Fine Foods adds to the whole ambiance of what I think Little Italy is becoming (or already has become.)
