Need of recommendations for a good restaurant in Toronto

[Guest Robo]

These may or may not be apropos for an anniversary but these are my favourite restaurants that I think everyone should try:

Enoteca Sociale - a real Italian wine bar, offers 80 wines under $80, social sharable plates & daily house made pasta with inspiration from classic Roman cuisine, 1288 Dundas St. W.

Barque Smokehouse - authentic American South BBQ, chef-owner David Neinstein learned the secrets of the trade in an Oklahoma smokehouse and cannily adapted the southern tradition for farm-to-table-obsessed Toronto diners, 299 Roncesvalles Ave

Local Kitchen & Wine Bar - authentic Italian wine bar specializing in Salumi and hand-crafted pastas. Rustic, warm interior and friendly staff, 1710 Queen St. W.

Cowbell - warm, unpretentious bistro in the heart of Parkdale, Cowbell has been a pioneer in Toronto's local, organic, and whole-animal movements. The chalkboard menu--rewritten daily--gives a window onto the farms and seasons of Southern Ontario. 1564 Queen St. W.

Thanks for all the people who suggested fitting places! I greatly appreciate that. I have now so many options to choose from that I suggest for our Mods to close this post.

Happy Christmas to all of you!
