Cafe Cinquecento - a great find.


One of the beautiful things about living in a big city is being able to seek out and find the best little hidden spots to eat.  Cafe Cinquecento is absolutely one of them.

This cozy Italian restaurant on King West really made me feel like I had my Nonna back in the kitchen whipping me up an authentic Italian dinner.  Amazing thin crust pizzas, pastas, salads and moreeeee!

Last night's menu of choice?

Arugula with truffle-infused mushrooms dressed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon and parmesan shavings
