Eats: Langolino, 50 Clinton Street, Toronto, ON
It makes sense to go to a tried and tested resto when entertaining a good friend from out of town and Langolino is a perfect example. This old and reliable restaurant in the heart of Little Italy never fails to exceed expectations on food and service. Langolino maybe small in size but the bucolic atmosphere is homey and its patio provides a perfect place to savor the culinary delights it offers.
Spaghetti Arrabiatta
Veal Parmigiana
Fettuccine Pasta Olio
Jerk Chicken Breast
I was fortunate that my friends decided to order the menu for the day as I have tried most of the regulars and was eagerly anticipating what it has to offer. The Veal Parmigiana was very tender and served over grilled eggplant and that alone was almost perfect. The accompanying tomato-based pasta, however, could use more flavor. The Fettuccine Pasta Olio was my favorite bursting with flavors of spinach, chicken, fresh tomatoes and bocconcini wonderfully blended with walnut and fresh mint pesto. The Jerk Chicken Breast provided a healthy option served on a bed of organic greens and baby arugula with olive oil and lime dressing. But what really made the difference was Langolino’s very warm and friendly service especially from Marissa who was very patient and accommodating to our every request. She was very sincere and made sure that we walked away smiling which we did.
