Name: Vita Sociale Neighbourhood: Yonge and Eglinton Contact Info: 2472 Yonge Street, 416-483-2211, vitasociale.ca, @VitaSociale Owner: Armando Mano Chef: Symon Abad

The Food: Rustic Italian primis, pastas and Roman-style pizzas designed to share. Mains include porchetta, whole branzino and agnolotti, and there’s a take-away sandwich counter open during the day.

The Drinks: Like Centro, Vita Sociale emphasizes its wine list, only without Centro’s $1000 vintages. Four beers are on tap—Blanche de Chambly, Okanagan 1516, Sleeman Dark and Sapporo—and classic Italian cocktails dominate the drinks menu.

The Place:Reclaimed wood walls, exposed brick and chandeliers have replaced traditional white linens.

The Numbers: • 1000-plus bottles of wine • 125-year-old barn boards • 110 seats • 30 bar stools • 10 kinds of pizza • 10 kinds of pasta • 3 dining rooms
