I just had by BDay so I got a lot of GC to Sur la Table. My boyfriend also accidentally got me the motor to the Imperia pasta maker instead of the pasta maker itself for my birthday, because I have wanted a pasta maker for a long...

't think I can ever go back to lasagne made from dried pasta. It tasted terrific. I’ll master you yet, Imperia! Broccoli rabe with garlic. Cheese plate: Humboldt Fog, Tete du Moine, Gjetost, Parmeggiano-Reggiano Molten...

I know you asked for downtown, but if you want an excellent meal on xmas day, go to Markham and hit the restos there. For a special meal I’d try Casa Imperia (Steeles and Warden) for a more classy (relatively speaking)...

in SoCo is a bitch... only beer and wine. waits can get very long and no reservations... Habana – the ol' stand-by, a favorite Imperia - new, never been Phil’s Icehouse – small, cheap, not festive, but I like ice...

is a fine machine. I bought it to refurb for a gift, and now I’m thinking of keeping it. I won’t retire my faithful imperia, but it’s darn cool. So....is there an appliance archaeologist on the boards anywhere?...

. As for dinner, the Yorkville area is rife with some decent possibilities. Imperia is a reasonably priced Italian resto with a variety of options. Joso’s on Davenport at Avenue Road is excellent, as is Mistura. Enjoy the...

I think I read somewhere they make fresh pasta onsite every day at Imperia.

A 2nd on Wish. Also in the neighbourhood is Imperia at 17 Yorkville. Lovely, warm room; a well thought out wine list; and fantastic service. Oh and the food’s great. Don’t let the Yorkville address put you off. The...
