Tooting my own horn really.

1. Biagio Ristorante

155 King St E
Toronto, ON M5C 1G9
Canada
(416) 366-4040

Category: Italian

Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core

6/29/2009 ROTD 7/8/2009 First to Review

Classy ristorante on King St E. Enclosed in historic old town hall, Biagio has a really open and inviting dining room that would be great for a large party. I enjoyed the lobster bisque and a vegetarian pesto ravioli; both polished off in seconds. A…More »

Neighbourhood: Riverdale

5/4/2009 ROTD 9/25/2009

I've always had a good time at this place. The food is decent and a cut above regular pub fare, and I have no compunction about getting totally sloshed here. The layout is a bit schizophrenic: restaurant to the right, expansive bar to the left, but…More »

Category: Dim Sum

4/21/2009 ROTD 4/23/2009

My second favourite Dim Sum restaurant in T.O. If you show up on the weekend make sure you get here before 11:45. At noon, the rest of Toronto shows up in search of steamed and fried excellence.

No carts: you mark down your selection and it shows up…More »

Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods

11/19/2009 ROTD 12/12/2009

Great service, excellent ambiance, hooks for coats (I love these), and a breakfast that just won't quit. Located at Trinity Bellwoods Park, it's a good place to stop for some fuel when hipping it up on Queen West. I've only been for brunch, but they…More »

Categories: Pubs, Dive Bars

Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core

11/25/2009 ROTD 5/11/2010

Let me describe this tri-partite debacle of a pub. First, is the horseshoe-shaped main floor: seemingly a hangout for regulars and roustabouts. Avoid this place. Yours truly chills on the second floor where one can find couches, books and hipsters in…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

Update - 1/18/2011

A few notes from my last visit at lunch. Nothing really went right. My fountain pop was flat and tasteless and a replacement was served warm with a sliver of ice in it (running low, guys?).

I started off with a house salad which was hair-pullingly…More »

Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods

2/27/2010 ROTD 7/20/2010

What's not to love? The staff is friendly, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is cosy and convivial. So far, I've enjoyed the chorizo mac and cheese, the flawless risotto, the amazing pierogies, and the veggie burger -- all winners. DIY…More »
