    Pasta Genova - They make focaccia, pasta and sandwiches right here at the back of the store.

    Jaw drop. This place is NYC/SF league. Brio Chinotto. Spiced green olives, four flavors, in tubs…read more Italian groceries packed into the tiny place. Fresh figs. That's just the weirds stuff that I like... the FOCACCIA -- they're baking it right there! There's only two sandwiches. This is a GOOD THING... meat or veggie. Apart from amazing -- small detail: romaine, crispy, super fresh... the meats and veggie patty: great recipe. This all before mentioning their namesake dish... pasta... six feet away from the baking, a lady pulling noodles out of a pasta machine, which I'll have to experience next time.

    Since moving to Toronto, I miss Pasta Genova deeply…read more They have some of the very best focaccia anywhere, which alone is enough to recommend them. But they also have nearly peerless homemade pastas (of which the smoked paprika linguine is my favourite, though they often only make it by request), spectacular prepared sauces, and regular specials on essentials that will get you things like premium olive oil or balsamic vinegar* at supermarket prices. * Genova is one of the few places I've regularly found a variety of pure, aged balsamic vinegar free from sulphites. AWESOME. So, here's some tips: 1) They ONLY TAKE CASH, no exceptions. I once witnessed a woman curse them out for this fact and declare she'd tell all her friends not to shop there; when she left, everyone in the tiny shop, myself included, burst out laughing, and one of the guys declared "we can barely keep up with the customers we have, we don't need her!". Very jovial, and they took her bitch-fest so perfectly in-stride they could give lessons on how to turn the other cheek. 2) If you need a quick lunch, pick up a focaccia sandwich -- they're about $4 if memory serves, with salami, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and they're fantastic! If you want to suddenly realize you're hungry, walk down Wellington around 11:00am for the wafting glory of baking focaccia and just try to resist the pull. 3) When ordering pasta instead of ordering by weight, order by serving size. Say things like "I'm having a dinner party for six, four big eaters and two regular", and they'll give you an incredibly accurate amount of what you need, plus a little extra (because people WILL want seconds, believe me!). 4) Their homemade calabrese olives are out of this world good. They use a puree of oil-marinated chilis, oregano, fennel (I think), and oil, and very, very good sun cured olives... and damn, these things are so good I eat them until I hurt. 5) Ask what's on special, or if they have any leftovers. I've scored half servings of pasta, day old (but still delicious) focaccia, and nearly expired but still awesome cheese for cheap. Finally, I'll also mention that the staff here are fabulous -- very nice people who greet with a smile, always bid a good day, and work diligently to help provide you with exactly what you need to hit a homerun with whatever it is you're cooking. Only downside: Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Egads!

    Sharing apps at Pete's Trattoria in Watertown. Clockwise from left, bacon wrapped scallops, Utica…read moreGreens, half-hots, roasted beet , walnut, goat cheese salad. I had Sauvignon Blanc. Tiramisu to go. We ate in the lounge, because their dining room was 'fully committed' until 6:30- it was 4:45. I was surprised as it was early on a Thursday in the winter, but maybe I shouldn't have been! A wholly satisfying experience. Our server was terrific especially considering she also had a full dining room. This is a classic Italian restaurant we are blessed to have.

    A couple of friends and I ran to Pete's after an event in the area. As soon as we opened the door…read morewe were met with the heavenly Italian scents of garlic, basil, tomatoes, and fresh bread. Immediately, we all looked at each other and knew we made the right choice for dinner! My friends ordered the bolognese that was on special and I had the manicotti. To be honest, I never order manicotti, but a friend said that's her usual Italian go-to meal so I ordered it. I loved Pete's manicotti!! Their sauce was a great consistency. I hate when it's too watery, and theirs certainly was not. It tasted fresh and it was piping hot out the oven. The two meatballs were like the size of my palms and also well seasoned. The bread that came was warm and fluffy. My friends both enjoyed their bolognese and we all had enough for leftovers. I regularly order espresso martinis and I very much enjoyed Pete's! So much so that I had two. Sadly, I was not able to snap any pics because we were enjoying each other's company and the food so much. Reservations are highly encouraged. The lighting was cozy and warm, and it led to some special conversation. If you're in Watertown, then give Pete's Trattoria a try! You won't be sorry.

    Came here on a friend's recommendation and I didn't love the food. We were seated on a quaint…read morewaterfront patio and and setting was lovely. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the setting as it was just subpar. Maybe it's too much to expect Toronto quality Italian food in Trenton, but everything from the tomato sauce in the lasagna (way too acidic), ho hum aglio olio for the California fettucine and lack of simple garden salad (what kind of Italian place only serves Caesar salad or Greek salad?) just didn't do it for me. My fettucine was undercooked (not even close to being al dente), the chicken breast was dry and the overall seasoning was weak. Even with the addition of giant slivers of Parmaggiano didn't do much to elevate the dish. I would have sent the dish back if we weren't in a rush to finish our meal and get back on the road. The Margherita pizza was the best part of this dinner sadly. I'm not sure if we'll be back in Trenton again any time soon, but I will be looking for other options than Tomasso's.

    It was a group of 24 for lunch, we had two great servers, the food was good and because of our…read moregroup size we had the back room to ourselves which enabled us to do speeches, introduce each other etc. The only downfall was the bright sun coming in at the ladies by the window. I would say the biggest downfall was paying 11$ for a 6 oz glass of wine, absolutely ridiculous!!
