Let’s go Al Fresco

July 23, 2010

Once he realized we were raiding his wine cellar, a friends father began
to label the bottles Drink this, Not this and, This is your inheritance.
We had so much to learn.


Enter Enoteca Sociale
from the creators of Pizzeria
Libretto
. Here, nearly every one of the over 80 wines is available
for tasting so you can sample your heart away (from $4).

Order food a la carte or try the tasting menu ($45). We recommend
starting with the lightly battered zucchini flowersand pea shoots,
topped with shaved ricotta ($11)a seasonal dish, so pounce while you
have a chance. The flavourful pappardelle and braised rabbit ($13) and
the spicy bucatini all’amatriciana ($12) also hit the spot but
necessitate a sweet finale. Try the zeppole with hazelnut pastry cream
($8). It is molto light and lovely.

Top tip? Ask to sit on tree-covered patio, just off bustling Dundas, for
the best atmosphere.
