About the Restaurant

Italians have a saying: โ€œQuanto 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. โ€œThe name means โ€˜how much is enough?โ€™โ€ says Salvatore Mele, noting it suits the enoteca perfectly: โ€œYou just want more and more.โ€ Patrons of Quanto Basta will get more gourmet wines from around the world, thanks to the wine barโ€™s state-of-the-art Enomatic serving system. Essentially itโ€™s 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.
