When the Columbus Centre first opened in 1980, Ristorante Boccaccio quickly became a staple for the Italian-Canadian community centre. In May, after being closed during the pandemic, the restaurant was revived by Chefs Luciano Schipano and Anthony Sestito to create a space more modern and vibrant. But one thing hasn’t changed: the quality of food and the unique experience. Whether you like traditional Italian, or prefer something more modern, Ristorante Boccaccio serves it up. Fresh, homemade pastas, homemade mozzarella, burrata and freshly baked focaccia are all created with seasonal, fresh ingredients. A lengthy wine list ensures there’s a drink to go with every meal. A unique highlight at Boccaccio is the “Make Sunday Italian Again” Weekly Sunday Family Brunch. For $35/person, the brunch is a three-course pre-fixed menu of Italian comfort foods, served family style.
