If you can nab the seats that overlook the kitchen at Porzia
you are in for a peak night.
Not only will you get to witness the bustling kitchen at work but, with
any luck, owner and chef, Basilio Pesce (formerly of Canoe and Bymark)
will be on hand to provide his top recommendations. With his blessing we
started with the subtly-flavoured cauliflower, fried egg, baccala crema
and potato ($10), and the cavallo tonnato ($16). Our pasta dish was the
rich and delicious chicken liver agnolotti ($16). Lastly we devoured the
tasty beef short rib with broccoli ($20). Oh wait, how could I nearly
forgot the three, delectable scoops of homemade gelato ($3/scoop)?
Even if your menu isnt hand-picked by Pesce, you will love the
atmosphere and service at this Parkdale delight. Were planning our next
cheap date for a Wednesday when small plates are just $10 between 6 and
10 p.m. Julie Whelan
