Café Zuzu plays homage to retro Italy where half the space is a cafe during the day, and the other half opens up in the evening for more larger format bites. For the grand opening, they offered free coffee for the first 555 customers. My husband ended up logging into work early, went for the free coffee plus other goodies, then returned home to work. Cornetti - frutti and cioccolato For the cornetti, I personally would skip it because Le Beau is close by; for relatively the same price, I can get a wider variety of pastries and slightly larger too. If I recall, the cornetti were about $5-$6 each. On a separate visit, we went for breakfast; I grabbed a cup of coffee plus some pastries. My husband got a breakfast sandwich. Bacon & Egg Sandwich ($8) - aged cheddar, tomato, spicy mayo, house-made sourdough english muffin Cornetti ($5) - normale Lemon Cream Bombolone ($4) The bombolone is really good and something I'd get again. Biscotti - dark chocolate hazelnut Pizza Siciliana - pepperoni When the restaurant portion opened, we decided to try it because by this point, the place essentially became our neighbourhood joint whenever we don't feel like cooking dinner haha. Nitro Espresso Martini ($15) - Vodkow vodka, coffee liqueur nitrogen Roasted Acorn Squash ($12) - agro dolce, caramelized onions, sage, pepita The squash is good, get the squash. Zuzu Green ($15) - little gem, cucumber, radish, dill, chive, golden vinaigrette Hanger Steak ($45) - wild mushrooms, garlic Sea Bream ($28) - crispy potato, salmoriglio On a second visit to the restaurant section, I went with a bunch of my girl friends where we got a bunch of pasta dishes to share. Tuscan fries ($9) - sage, rosemary, basil mayo, chilli oil Rigatoni ($19) - spicy vodka, pomodoro, cream, parmigiano Baked Ziti ($23) - mozzarella, parmigiano, pomodoro Pappardelle ($24) - beef & pork ragu, pecorino The pastas definitely shine here; the rigatoni is really good and the baked ziti has some nice crunchy sections. Torta della nonna ($14) - lemon crema, pine nuts, fig Cannoli ($8/2pc) - pistachio, cherry, marcarpone Café Zuzu 555 Dundas St. East Toronto, ON M5A 2B7 Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
