I'm so glad that Tomavino's managed to rally to keep its south end location after the double drama of the fire and the closure of the short-lived Bedford branch. Tom's has always been a favourite dinner destination for me as well as a secret take-out…More »

I really love knowing that more and more, fellow yelpers are deciding where I go when I leave the house. One step further, I really love knowing that more and more, fellow yelpers rarely steer me astray which is definitely true in this case for my…More »

I'm a bit of a sushi slut, in all fairness. I loves me a certain roll at a place over here, I loves me the takeout at a place over there, frankly...as long as there was tempura sweet potato…More »
