La Fonte Trattoria - North York

One of the best kept secrets for trade and businessmen, profis from vaughan and north york. Italian cuisine in a very comfortable, casual environment. unique mix between restaurant and hot table with Auberginen-Pamigiana, Kalbs-Pamigiana, lasagne and serious main courses as lamb,...indeed not very often in a hot table. very often they find traditional veranda and sweet sides as fave and cicoria. not expensive.

This place was great. twice for lunch and eating was fresh, hot and a reasonable price. the gentleman behind the counter was great.

This is the gold standard for steam tables. Half a dozen choices of delicious meat entrees, always a couple of kinds of fish and a couple of different chicken choices, great hot greens (rapini, bok choy, swiss chard, AND kale most days), and standard trattoria...fare like veal on a bun with all the trimmings. We eat here a couple of times a week, and it never disappoints.

At the and (just north of Steeles off of Pine Valley) this family run restaurant serves one of the best hot tables in Toronto. Freshly made every day the food ranges from Sea Bass in tomatoe sauce to osso bucco to pastas and...salades. They make fresh pizza bianca every day on large trays, but get there early as it runs out by most days! The line up for the hot table is a mixture of local business people who are there for take out food or who want to sit and chat over lunch to people who come a good distance for an excellent meal. Inexpensive as Toronto lunches go La Fonte Trattoria offers one of the best meals available in the city at an excellent price. The staff are very friendly and remember their customers, even those who only come occasionally to see them. The food is freshly made daily with the freshest ingredients. Highly recommended. ATB LIG

Home cooked authentic Italian cuisine. big lunch for only I often eat half and keep the rest for dinner. it is cheaper than cook yourself. this place opens only for midday to midday from Monday to Friday.
