"EDEN'S SO SIN-SATIONALLY TEMPTING"

Attention all Adam and Eve's! This beautiful garden offers more than just 'forbidden fruit'. With a variety of tasty dishes to please even the most discerning of palettes you'll be tempted to try them all. Very, very tempted that is!

'Eden Trattoria' is a cozy place nestled in the Humber Bay Shores neighbourhood which I had the pleasure of experiencing first hand and boy am I ever sold on this place. It was bustling with activity (two floors of it) when I arrived which was a sure sign this place was going to be good. Its casual elegance means you can leave the 'fig leaf' at home.

I had a table (upstairs) that overlooked the lake and TO skyline that looked breathtaking. It had such a lovely romantic feel to it especially with the incredible panoramic view of the city lights. You can't help but fall in love with the city all over again. Ahhhhhhh!

There's a variety of great food to choose from. Anything from pizzas and pastas to steak and seafood. The possibilities are endless but whatever you choose you just can't go wrong. I ordered the 'Antipasto Friutti di Mare' in a nice balsamic vinaigrette dressing and the 'Antipasto di Casa' which was an assortment of bocconcini, sun dried olives, roasted red peppers, proschuttini and italian soppresatta and it was great. Oh I can taste the fresh bread now!

My taste buds continued on to experience a baked panzerotti (it was larger than my plate!) with a side order of piping hot tomato dipping sauce. Oh so heavenly! I was waiting for the serpent to come slithering down the pillar to ask me how the meal was. In that I would have replied, 'yes I have sinned and I'm lovin' every minute of it!'

I continued on with my impure thoughts when dessert arrived. The Reese's Pieces cheesecake was as soft and creamy as ever (topped with M&M's) as it just melt in my mouth, while accompanied by an espresso that quenched my Mediterranean palette.

During the summer months the patio provides a relaxing atmosphere along with its exquisite backdrop. So while you're feeling the cool lake breeze in your hair. Why not kick back and enjoy a nice glass of wine and and share a delicious appetizer. Yes, the portions are HUGE!

Their prices are reasonable with dinner for two around $60. Also there are two convenient locations to choose from that offer the same great menu and they cater. Reservations are not necessary but are required for large parties. They're open seven days a week for breakfast including Brunch on Sundays and they have daily specials. Oh and did I mention it's also a celebrity hot spot. Great for stargazing too! And yes folks, parking is absolutely free.

Tempted? If so, slither on down to Eden you won't be disappointed. It'll be a sin if you don't. Just tell them the serpent sent you!
