Look for the Nose |
1220 Queen Street East Toronto, ON M4M 1L7 +1 416 469 5225 |
There's no sign to say you've arrived at Gio Rana's, just a large fiberglass nose marking an otherwise non-descript former bank building. Inside, Gio's is ironically eclectic: gallery worthy art adorns bare drywall as stylishly naked halogen bulbs hang from acoustic tile. This pared down approach to décor lends a boisterous, friendly atmosphere while letting the food shine. The menu is a la carte Italian. Dishes range from pasta offerings, risottos, and fish dishes (try the garlic shrimp on crispy risotto cake), but you can't miss with the meat-the Sexy Duck falls off the bone. Sides such as sautéed rapini, asparagus or shredded brussel sprouts with parmesan and pancetta are served 'family-style', except Mom never made veggies so appealing. With both atmosphere and menu truly encapsulating joie de vivre, Gio Rana's Really, Really Nice Restaurant is a really, really great night out. – Andrea Stewart Review © 2009, Wcities |
