"The menu at this charming Italian spot changes often, but Queen’s Park locals swear by the pappardelle al ragù—which is always made the Marchigiano way, with gizzards and hearts—and we can confirm, they’re absolutely right. Beef, pork, and chicken are slow-cooked in wine and cling to each long, flat ribbon of pasta, like us gripping the seats at Ida when it's closing time. The mood is set for Gavi-fuelled compliments over candlelight, and the terrazzo tiles will transport you back to your childhood kitchen in Italy—even if, like us, your kitchen had linoleum tiles and you grew up in a grey suburb.
