Grano started out in 1986 as an Italian bakery led by husband and wife team Roberto Martella and Lucia Ruggiero. "My background is in food and wine importations,'' Roberto explains, ''and Lucia is a graduate in anthropology at the University of Toronto. Like many Italian women, she learned our culinary traditions by her mother's side, and today she oversees everything culinary at Grano."

Over the years, the small bakery has grown. Today, it’s a full-fledged Italian restaurant that aims to celebrate Il belpaese (“the beautiful country”) through the table. Grano still bakes its bread and desserts in house, and has, at any given time, Toronto's greatest selection of olive oils for customers to purchase. Grano also serves up flavourful Italian dishes, fresh homemade pasta ladled with rich, tasty sauces and calamari considered amongst Toronto's best. And, of course, being an Italian restaurant, Grano also has a wine list that is second to none. "We celebrate everything Italy has to offer," Roberto says proudly.

Top places in Toronto for a date night north of Bloor

If you can’t whip off to the Italian countryside for a romantic dinner for two, this trattoria has been serving up a rustic and authentic Italian dining experience for almost 30 years, is a fantastic second best. Grab a table for two by candlelight and start with a bottle of vino (priced from $30 to $500) and share sweet nothings over an assortment of antipasti paired with a divine grilled squid salad and a sweet-meets-savoury squash and sweet potato gnocchi. Plus, when weather permitting, the grotto-style back patio (equipped with a fountain) is perfect long chats on a summer night.
