Brunello’s

Straight to the main… no antipasto from the menu with hopes on leaving some room for desert. However, we did get a complimentary bruschetta, olives, sausage, and cheese. Had the Sella D’agnello (rack of lamb)…superb. Medium rare is recommended. Tender… juicy…full of flavour. The Yukon Gold and sweet potato gratin was a wonderful side. At this point… quite full but wanted to try the Chef Mario Signature Tiramisu. Was very good but I prefer the Osso Bucco. Aside from the food… the service was great. Rose and Mario were able to accommodate the allergy limitations and unique requests of the Mrs and were quite attentive. Mind you… we were the first ones there at 5:30 but people started rolling in. Get there close to opening is my suggestion. Although we were very casual coming direct from the Scenic Caves (shorts, v neck, and flip flops) most of the patrons were business casual.

A old 125 historic house right in the heart of downtown Collingwood, serving Italian food. If you want a table on Saturday night you better have a reservation or you’ll be out of luck, it’s small and quaint. We started with the appetizer platter Mussels, Venison meatballs and pesce fritta all very tasty. Main courses you could have pasta’s to steak and the house speciality veal, served many different ways. I had veal medallions with roasted vegetables and gorgonzola gnocchi again very fresh and hot .I had no room for desert but if I was going to I would have the tiramisu served in a small coffee cup and very well presented. At the end of the evening the chef owner sat at our table while we talked about Italy and enjoyed some Sambucca. Well worth a visit when your in Collingwood
