The location is not as convenient, and parking is not ample, but food fanatics prematurely terrorized by the impending (in about two years) demise of Vittorio’s on Yonge can breathe a sigh of relief. Vittorio’s on Avenue is now open and any fears about the quality and atmosphere decreasing in a larger space appear to be utterly unfounded (based on the opening night’s performance anyways). Cico should not have to resort to the area’s apparently bountiful supply of “topless waitresses” to keep seats filled, though I’m sure the ghost of Vittorio would gleefully drink to the idea. Cheers to life’s excesses! -D.R.
