The Best Italian restaurant in Toronto? Campagnolo
If you only have one Italian restaurant to visit in Toronto, this is the one. Yes, Buca is good too but Campagnolo treats you like famiglia. There is a reason the restaurant was voted on En Route's top ten restaurants of 2011.

Let the Chef guide you...
This is one of my favourite recently opened restaurants (out of the seemingly 5000 that opened in Toronto circa 2011-12).
A casual, laid back vibe (no need to dress up if you don't want to) at this 35 seater gives you a choice of a reasonably...
North By Northeast rocks Toronto every June
June is one of the best months to be in Toronto and this year, you're definitely going to want to stick around June 10-17 for one of the best music festivals in North America.

Lobster Rolls
Rock Lobster hasn't been a proper restaurant for long. This Ossington eatery got its start at the Toronto Underground Market, a monthly event which allows non-pros with a flair for food to show off their chops to masses of hungered folks. When...
Anice Jewel Boutique
Somewhat hidden in the nether regions of Kensington Market, Anice is a charming boutique literally dripping with gems. The inviting space is home to baubles for the bod, with one-of-a-kind pieces incorporating both the vintage and the new.

Scout
Roncesvalles is definitely a neighbourhood worthy of visiting, and this gifty boutique is a great excuse to do so. It's only been open for a year, but has plenty of loyal followers and lots of fun finds ranging from baby gear to napkins with faux...
