Paese Ristorante

Paese cooks as though Ontario were simply another province of Italy. For more than three decades, it has been a gathering place at Bathurst and Wilson in North York, welcoming generations of the same families: grandparents, then their children, and now their children’s children. The name means village, and the restaurant lives up to it. The cooking is handcrafted and honest. Paese uses the best seasonal ingredients available with a light touch, because Italian food leaves nowhere to hide. Its cellar holds more than 800 labels from every major wine region, with sommeliers on staff to match them.
