Cross-cultural mash-up of cuisines from Top Chef Canada finalist in cozy room with bric-a-brac.
"Although it's only been open since 2014, this Queen West restaurant has already earned a fiercely loyal following for its refined, yet approachable, takes on Italian classics. The entryway is set up like a pantry, of sorts, with rows of big bottles of olive oil (available for purchase) lining the shelves. The dining room is no less decorated, with wall clocks, antique books, and vintage photos. The menu features a perfect antipasto plate, an al dente bucatini all'amatriciana, charred thin-crust pizzas from the wood-fire oven, and a grilled octopus for two. In a part of the West End that can feel so artificial, The Good Son manages to stay true to its Italian roots while also appealing to Toronto's young foodies." - Todd Plummer
