FLORENTINE GELATO
Okay, so this isn't really about Toronto, but who doesn't love ice cream? Florence has arguably the best gelato in the world. If you're planning a trip to Italy any time soon, stop by these three Florentine houses of ice-creamy worship.
GELATERIA VESTRI
Borgo degli Albizi, 11/R
055.234.0374
*An artisanal chocolate shop that doubles as the best gelateria in Florence. Only 5 or so flavours on the menu, but 5 or so of the best flavours you've ever tasted in your life. Try chocolate-chili, pistaccio or white chocolate with fragolini.
FESTIVAL DEL GELATO
Via del Corso 75r
+39 055 239 4386
*So many flavours, so little time. Try the grapefruit sorbetto or the semifredo mousse di cafe
GELATERIA CARABÉ (2 locations)
1. Via Ricasoli, 60 (a few blocks from the Galleria dell’Accademia and Michelangelo’s David) 055-289476
2. Piazza S. Jacopino, 9
*You really haven't tried granita until you've tasted Sicilian granita here. Go for the coffee or chocolate flavours.

PALDO GANG SAN: Restaurant Review
PALDO GANG SAN
694 Bloor St. W (on the North side of Bloor at Clinton Street, half a block East of Christie Station)
(416) 536-7517
The phrase "going upstairs" usually invokes thoughts of erotic pleasure and long awaited gratification. When visitng Paldo Gang San, feeling these emotions are not uncommon. Stuck upstairs in the heart of Korea town, this bulgogi gem of a restaurant serves Korean comfort food the way your Grandma would make it if she was from Seoul. Come here after the bar or club, come here for something cheap and tasty or to watch Korean soap operas on TV.
What to eat: Stone Pot Bibimbap, Kimchi Stew, Pork Bone Stew/soup, Stir Fried Chicken with kimchi and veggies, LA ribs, Steamed dumplings

EMA TEI: Resaturant Review
EMA TEI
30 St. Patrick St. (at Queen St. W.)
416-340-0472
Tucked into a side street just off of Queen West near University, Ema Tei serves completely authentic Japanese fare at reasonable prices. Although their sushi bar is among the best in town, try some of the more eclectic dishes that you wouldn't normally find in a Torontonian Japanese establishment. Not your average downtown bento box rush you in and out formula. If you're a food-otaku (Japanese food geek), this is the place for you.
What to eat: Yakiniku Don, Noodle soup (udon or ramen), Katsu Curry, Hot or Nigori sake
