Quanto Basta
Toronto, ON M4W 2L8
Italians have a saying: โQuanto basta.โ Salvatore, Julia and Daniela Mele, the family of restaurateurs behind midtown darling Capocaccia, adopted the name for their wine bar and upscale Rosedale eatery. โThe name means โhow much is enough?โโ says Salvatore Mele, noting it suits the enoteca perfectly: โYou just want more and more.โ Patrons of Quanto Basta will get more gourmet wines from around the world, thanks to the wine barโs state-of-the-art Enomatic serving system. Essentially itโs a wine keg used to preserve opened bottles of wine. The restaurant also offers a select menu of appetizers and entrees, such as Italian cured meats and fish spigola. One menu highlight is the ravioli zita e basta, a wild mushroom ravioli dish in a porcini and truffle cream sauce. The Italian charm also extends to the rustic atmosphere of the 55-seat venue with great views of Rosedale's revamped Victorian shopfronts.
