Giulietta

24 Best Restaurants in Toronto, From Glossy Hotel Eateries to Greasy Spoons | Condé Nast Traveler

"Imagine a quintessential red sauce Italian joint—Giulietta is the polar opposite of that. Canadian chef Rob Rossi's highly sophisticated, pan-Italian restaurant offers a refined approach, with none of the clichés that have pervaded so many other Italian hotspots in recent years. In other words, don't expect to find any burrata on the menu here. It presents one of the finest expressions of Italian cuisine you'll find in Toronto. Handcrafted pastas are a hit—see the campanelle al ragu, and the flawless tonnarelli cacio e pepe—as are the wood-fired pizzas. The namesake Giulietta, a thin-cruster, comes with pistachios, lardo, cream, and smoked scamorza—it's decadent and fantastic." - Todd Plummer
