PIZZERIA LIBRETTO
Italian

The authentic nature of this Neapolitan pizzeria extends to the oven the pizzas are baked in-- a Neapolitan craftsman built it and the pizza has the DOP (denominazione di origine controllata) stamp, an Italian law that authenticates its compliance with regional characteristics. This attention to detail exemplifies proprietor Max Rimaldi and chef Rocco Agostino’s obsession over the perfect slice. Crusts are perfectly blistered and are the ideal combination of soft and chewy. They are layered with such items as fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, basil and Parma ham, or sardines sans cheese. The vanilla afogato dessert affirms the casual, appropriate-any-night-of-the-week vibe. A limited, but well selected mix of Italian and local Ontario wines are reasonably priced, with most available by the quarter litre.

Sushi Inn in Yorkville. Amazing service, great quality seafood, outstanding prices and the sake is always hot. Not the fanciest but I've had a lot worse sushi for a lot bigger price tag.

Looking for a new Italian restaurant in Cabbagetown? Formerly the old Piccolo, Plum 226 has undergone renovations and now provides Cabbagetown with a fantastic casual fine dining expereince. Food and wine priced reasonably, entrees between $13-$30, wines by the glass between $7-$11 and bottles starting at $28. They also have a lounge hosting live music and entertainment, most free events - no cover. A great place to enjoy a relaxing or romantic dinner.

Ruth's Chris is without a doubt one of the world's best steakhouses. I recommend it without reservation.

The Wine Bar at 9 church street in Toronto fits your criteria. Food is amazing and the wine list is huge and eclectic, which I love.

I have dined at Oro a few times. It is one of my favorite in the city. From the time you enter to the time you say "fare well", this establishment makes you feel "special." The food, the ambiance and the service is impeccable. Definitely a place that makes a lasting impression!

I have dined at Allen's only once, and will never go back - even though I live around the corner. The food was decent, however, the concierge quite was rude. Even after ordering a few rounds of drinks, appetizers and dinners, our table was asked to leave because we were there "too long" and the table was needed. We were there "just over an hour." We are middled aged people, not a rowdy bunch of kids! My table was not impressed.

Zin Restaurant @ Yorkville is a newly opened chinese cuisine. I have been there once and they have a very good wine selection plus very good food. I found them because I saw the review from Joanne Kates of the Global & Mail.

I was disappointed to see that Vanipha Lanna is not included in your list They have amazing food. I have mixed feelings about posting this comment because I like being able to go there without a reservation and I wouldn't want it to become too popular....
