UPDATE-March 2012: Sadly, Bistro the Home has closed due to a lack of business.
Bistro The Home is my kind of place for several reasons. It’s got a quirky name along with a quirky concept (to most people) of Asianized pasta. The tranquil, modern dining room is hidden in a strip mall on Alexandra Road [...]
Without Papers was creating buzz even before its opening this month in Nectar’s old second-floor space in Inglewood. There were high expectations for the casual pizza place because it’s run by the same people behind Italian favourite, Sugo, which is just downstairs. Then there was the unusual name. Without Papers is a reference to snubbing [...]
I needed a few seconds to get my bearings when I walked into Giuseppe’s Italian Deli and Market. Because it’s a deli, market, cafe and pizzeria, it’s one of those places where you have to order at one counter and pay at another. Giuseppe’s does dinner and jazz nights but I visited for lunch. [...]

I figured I’d hold off. Now that I’ve been, I’m going to be going back a lot more. Una has done [...] When Pulcinella opened up in Kensington, I didn’t quite get the whole Neapolitan, slightly burnt, thin-crust phenomenon. Plus Pulcinella’s terrible front-of-house service has proved consistent. We went last weekend at 5:30 p.m. for an early bite. The hostess asked us how many in our party, and then proceeded to answer the phone and stay on [...] |
