🇨🇦 Hidden Gem Italian Spot ✨ Paese Ristorante 🍕🍝

We went all-in on a carb-loaded Italian feast at this underrated restaurant – and wow, was it worth it! 🤩 This place flies under the radar (seriously, why isn’t it all over foodie feeds?!), but its 4.7 OpenTable rating speaks volumes. ⭐ The vibe? Cozy, intimate, and packed with locals – always a good sign! 🕯️ Every dish we tried was a flavor bomb, proving why this is clearly a neighborhood favorite. 🍄 1️⃣ Funghi Pizza Ultra-thin, crispy crust loaded with earthy mushrooms and peppery arugula 🍕✨ The stretchy, gooey cheese pull? Pure happiness. 🦃 2️⃣ Turkey Bolognese Pasta Rich, meaty sauce with perfectly tender ground turkey (no dryness here!). Tossed with fresh, house-made pasta – so addictive, we fought over the last bite! 🍝🔥 🥖 3️⃣ Warm Bread + White Bean Dip Forget butter – this velvety, layered white bean spread is light yet decadent. Paired with fresh-from-the-oven bread? Chef’s kiss. 🤌 🐮 4️⃣ Fegato (Pan-Seared Calf’s Liver) Crispy exterior, melt-in-your-mouth tender inside 🥩💥 Served with creamy mashed potatoes and veggies, drizzled in a sauce that screams authentic Italian. A MUST-TRY. ‼️ 🦑 5️⃣ Calamari Fritti Golden, crunchy, and zero grease – with a zingy dipping sauce that cuts through the richness. Seafood lovers, don’t miss this! 🌊 Overall? Warm ambiance, flawless execution. Paese is a low-key star. ✨ 📍 Paese Ristorante 3827 Bathurst St, North York, ON M3H 3N1 #TorontoLife #VibeDining #TorontoEats #HiddenGems #TorontoFoodie #FoodTherapy #ItalianCuisine
