My Yelp friend has been bugging me to make some fresh pasta at home.. but I doubt I would ever made any as good as what Farina offers. And I won't mess up my kitchen too! I walked out of the store with a jar of Bolognese Ragu ($6.75) and 2 Portion Size of Fresh pasta ($1.99/portion) with a big happy smile on my face!

I purchased the sweet potato ginger with poached chicken (they also had a tofu option) and kale. It was divine! I also bought some of their baked breads and some of dips (hummus and mushroom bruschetta) which were equally delicious. They have a diverse set of soups, plenty vegan options as well which they switch out every couple of days which is nice. Overall, it's a MUST try in Toronto. Especially if you're in the Eglinton West area.

Everything looks super high quality and I definitely got a taste of it as well at their upper level restaurant and bar. I got the Tonnarelli Alla Norcina, a white sauce based pasta dish with their homemade sausage and shaved black truffle. 3 stars because the pasta was a bit undercooked, slightly cold, and the portion was small. $33 after tax is very steep for the portion size and quality I received, in my opinion. 4 stars if the dish came piping hot but I could tell it was sitting for a while. Flavors were delicious though, I feel like this would be a decent place to come with a group or someone else where you can split an appetizer for get the most bang for your buck. Service was just okay. The view looking down on the open kitchen is really cool and provides a unique atmosphere you can't find at a lot of restaurants. Not sure if I'd come back but it was nice to scratch this off my list of restaurants to try.

They're conveniently located at King St and Sackville with plenty of street parking available. Those taking transit can easily get there taking the King St streetcar. I absolutely loved our table in the second floor of the restaurant overlooking the huge open kitchen while enjoying our food. They have a brunch menu available from 11am to 3pm. We got the funghi assoluti, meatball and carbonara dish. The funghi assoluti was a nice start, the mushroom is crispy which really added texture and flavour to the arugula making it a unique and delicious starter. The pasta is freshly made and cooked to perfection. The bacon was crisp and salty balancing out the dish very well. Before leaving, I stopped by their grocery section and picked up a couple of gelato bars and some bombolini. They had nutella and custard, with a featured flavour, which his creme brulee. They sugar and torched it with a light custard inside. I had those later in the day and tasted very fresh and delicious! I'd love to go back to try their pizza and maybe pick up some croissants too. I really enjoyed my experience here! The only concern is the washroom is situated in the basement. I personally don't have an issue, but if I'm taking friends and family out, this is something to think about.

So much of the time you are presented with the same garden variety items that you find in the supermarkets and it's not worth going out of your way to shop there. This is where Festival stands out. The pasta selection is fantastic, especially for such a small floor space. I had been searching for Lumache (my favorite pasta shape) for years without success and found it here under a couple brands. They have a good variety of other pastas flat and shaped, and more variety than many of their competitors. Any type of pasta shape you seek can most likely be found here, with good brand names to back them. They also carry a huge selection of tomato sauces and canned DOP tomatoes (from the region in Italy) that make for better quality sauces. There is also frozen pasta available at reasonable prices. If you need to pick up your Lotto Max you can also do it here, and they sell cigarettes for the small percentage of people who still light up. The guy who owns it and a woman who I think I was told was his mother are usually the ones at the counter and they were helpful. Prices are good, I'd say very reasonable. Considering you're getting real Italian quality pasta and so much selection, it's impressive. And they always seem to have what you need. No deli section, but there are some frozen and chilled items available and a selection of American and Italian sodas. Worth the trip

Brioni was suggested to me by a friend for making some of the best lasagna in the city -- and they didn't let me down. I ordered a medium ricotta & spinach lasagna -- baked fresh the morning I picked it up -- that fed six adults very well. At least five layers and it weighed a ton. The owners were quite friendly and even carried the lasagna out to my car for me. Extremely well-priced at $35, I'll definitely return to Brioni the next time I'm looking for homemade lasagna in a pinch. So good.
