"This airy, light-filled space is as pretty and Instagrammable as the hip Trinity-Bellwoods neighborhood it inhabits. There's the open kitchen, which gleams with polished copper accents, and oversize windows that can roll up à la garage doors in the warmer months, and, of course, excellent food and drink. To start, call in an aperitivo (the white Negroni sbaligiato is a perennial favorite), then slowly gawk your way through a menu filled with new takes on Italian classics. If avocado crostini and baked eggs all'Amitriciana don't sound like winning Saturday dishes to you, we don't know what does. Oh, and make sure you can still walk by the end—Trinity-Bellwoods Park, a beloved local hangout, is just down the street." - Todd Plummer
