In less than two months of our return from Italy after participating in auditions for the ceremonies of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, we were back home in Toronto satiating our appetite for real Italian food. The occasion was a promotion by Bacco Market and Cafe Grazia on Queens Quay West. Anna and Matteo started this joint only in May this year. They have an amazing collection of artisanal panettoni produced fresh from DaCastro for Bacco, using traditional Italian recipes and premium ingredients. With limited seating capacity, they draw crowds not only from Italians but also lovers of Italian food like us. They have some traditional gourmets, including those made from pear and chocolates, Tin "La Dolce Vita," and extra dark chocolate, besides fresh artisan panettoni. They also have some quality Italian wines. All are affordably priced. Potions and the subsequent desserts are moderately sized. Pan Frutta would bring us back. The perfect mix of citrus and raisins blended well with black chocolate made it awesome.
