    A below-ground Tuscan tavern where the kitchen leans into luxe ingredients without losing the rustic soul. The team behind it comes from fine-dining stock, and the pasta is made in-house, sauced simply. Grilled bread with whipped ricotta and pickled green tomatoes show up early and are hard to argue with. The wine list tilts Italian, and the room has a warmth that makes a two-hour dinner feel like a reasonable Tuesday. It landed on Canada's 100 Best list.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Puffy sea-salted grilled bread

      “Still a must-order is the puffy sea-salted grilled bread with whipped ricotta and the garlicky pickled green tomatoes (the recipe via Migliarese’s mother).”

    • Roasted butternut squash

      “Equally enticing are more complex offerings, like roasted butternut squash stacked with prosciutto, pumpkin seeds and fried sage.”

    • Veal milanese

      “while the massive secondi courses — including the veal milanese topped with saffron, capers and butter — transform any meal into a feast.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
