Enoteca Sociale

Dundas West gets a funky wine bar with this sweet spot, where sharing is encouraged and the mealtime chumming around is as essential to the experience as the refreshments that accompany it. Daily house-made pasta, family-sized feasts (from a dedicated tasting menu) and a few simply prepared plates of antipasti are the order of the day at this cellar-based Little Italy restaurant, where Nonna's hand in the recipe-making is always close. Online reviewers give top marks for explosively flavourful food prepared with just a few ingredients. A lovely selection of wines is available by the glass, and the 50-seat patio's a treat in the summer.
