I have been a fan of Chef Massimo Capra and his well-established Italian restaurant, Mistura located right by Davenport and Avenue road. I had made a reservation this past Winterlicious but wasn't able to make it so I gave the reservation to one of my friends who I knew would enjoy it and she and her boyfriend had a spectacular time!

4. One Restuarant
This is one of Chef Mark McEwan's restaurants at the Hazleton Hotel in Yorkville. Originally I thought he would be very arrogant and stuck up but when I had the opportunity to meet him right by school my impression was totally different. Mark McEwan was a great guy and very down to earth compared to the very truthful judge on Top Chef Canada. This is a hotspot for celebrities during the Toronto International Film Festival!
