I’ve mentioned before that one of my absolute favourite restaurants is Gusto 101 in the King West area. Great Italian cuisine and easy drinking wine on tap for a dollar an ounce.

So when the opportunity came up to work at my dining destination of choice, obviously I couldn’t pass it up, especially when it’s to preview the tastes of Gusto 54’s expansion to Venice, Los Angeles, naturally with Gusto’s new Chef Evan Funke from LA.

Francobollo Posto Italiano is a relatively new Italian restaurant, that opened up last December, situated along Avenue Road in North York, known for their Novo Italiano – 1st generation Italian – dishes.

Cibo Yorkville is the newest Italian restaurant in the Yorkville area, publicly opened in October 16, 2015 and created by Liberty Entertainment Group. Best of Toronto was lucky to be hired to photograph the recent opening of Cibo Yonge and now also the latest Cibo Wine Bar on Yorkville. This will be joined by a 2nd Cibo Wine Bar location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

We checked out the popular casual Italian dining destination, Levetto, for a Sunday Feast at the Sudbury St. location situated across from 99 Sudbury St.

Taking on the approach that Italian food doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated to be good, we sampled a smorgasborg of fresh Italian salads, pastas and pizzas all made from scratch in a family style setting.

Based on our experience at the last U-Feast dinner we attended at Böehmer, we had a lot to look to forward for the next Chef Concert Series dinner on July 9th. This time it would be Italian Michelin Star Chef Cristina Bowerman helming the kitchen, with chef and TV personality Christine Cushing taking emcee duties.

Following their successes on King West in Toronto and South Beach in Miami comes Italian dining destination, Cibo Wine Bar, to Yonge and Eglinton.

We were glad to be hired to shoot the opening celebrations with Cibo Wine Bar’s friends and family.
