Hungry? Ciao Wine Bar

Yorkville, although known to catering to wealthier of Torontonians, has a number of reasonably priced drinking and dinning spots worth exploring.

In addition to staple bars such as The Pilot and Hemingway’s, there is the wine bar, Ciao, that offers a large selection of wines as well as a menu full of fabulous sounding antipastos, pizzas, and pastas - many for under 20 $. 

My friend Jessica, who went as part of the Summerlicious special, suggested the restaurant - noting she didn’t have anything she didn’t like. 

I understand why. 

She had a cocktail, I had a glass of red wine, and we shared the Smoked Salmon Pizza off the menu.

Sitting on their heated balcony in what was probably the last warm evening of 2011, we drank, ate, and talked!
