Pasta Pooks
Italian
Fresh pasta is made each morning before the dining room opens, which tells you most of what you need to know about this snug Italian spot on Clark. The menu is short and brash: a few antipasti, a genuinely unhinged Philly cheesesteak, filled pastas in buttery, precise sauces, and a small run of desserts. The natural wine list skews slightly nerdy in the best way. Canada's 100 Best landed it at number 47 for 2026.

Baccalà mantecato
“Think baccalà mantecato — air-dried cod whipped with olive oil into a silky spread served as a classic cicchetto on grilled polenta.”
Canada's 100 Best, 2026 -
Tagliatelle al ragù
“Highlights include the guanciale-studded carbonara, squash-filled casoncelli mantovani or the now famous tagliatelle al ragù.”
