BRAVO UFFICIO

Wednesday wasn’t the official opening of Ufficio Italian pescatarian resto at 1214 Dundas St. West in the trendy stretch just west of Ossington. It was a preview for press and assorted investors, chefs and scenesters. And the food flowed: loved it all, especially the octopus and escargots. When was the last time you had really memorable escargots? Certainly not at The Keg. For some inexplicable reason, The Keg puts curry in theirs. I didn’t order it. I was just an innocent bystander and credible witness.

Impossibly cute and capable bartenders Adam and Rob kept us hydrated.

Loquacious director Bruce McDonald is not a two-fisted drinker. He is merely transporting another bourbon concoction for a friend.

 

Back is beautiful, as this bareback beauty working at Ufficio attests. She has zero body fat. Bitch!!!

This was our table at the dinner. Coincidentally it came from my favourite installation of dining room tables at the recent Monogram Dinner by Design at the Design Exchange exhibit. It was a Victorian tableau executed by Commute Design, who also did the décor at Ufficio. Fittingly, Commute partner Sara Parisotto sat at our table.
