Hand-made pizza, pasta, & Italian mains in a whimsical setting
"In 2015, chef and owner Victor Barry left diners with a sad pit in their stomachs when he shuttered the nearly 30-year-old fine dining establishment Splendido, though he soothed their collective hunger pangs the next year with a new, sophisticated, and family-friendly trattoria. A departure from the gloved service and dainty dishes, Piano Piano kept the soul of Splendido while making Barry’s creations more accessible to the community. At its three locations in the city, the restaurant enchants with staples like bouncy ricotta served with rosemary-studded focaccia and finished with sunflower seeds and chile; paunchy octopus whose downy tentacles have been bathed in fermented garlic honey; and naturally leavened sourdough pizzas, such as the Sweet Hornet, a smoldering whirlwind of fior di latte, spicy soppressata, black olives, and treacly hot honey. Know before you go: If you don’t make it to the original location on Harbord, I highly recommend visiting the 55 Colborne location instead. It’s a trip, especially the basement restaurant/bar, which is decked out like a whimsical carousel." - Tiffany Leigh
