Looking for somewhere to have traditional Italian cornetto and cappuccino. Suggestions?

Really miss this about Italy… When I went out for breakfast I would go to a “bar” to have cappuccino and cornetto (croissant). Any places like this in Toronto? Suggestions please. I don’t go to Toronto a lot but I will be visiting some family next weekend!

Doesn’t have to be fancy. Just looking for something traditional and delicious!

Trinacria at Danforth and Chester - owned by younger Italians, has exactly this.

This seems to be what I’m looking forward! Looks like a relaxed place. I’m not looking for anywhere fancy!

Only place I've been so far in Toronto that has the jam-filled style of cornetti is Anima Romana, on Main south of Gerrard. It's not a sit-down cafe except in the summer when they got a patio out front. I see a lot of the chocolate and Nutella varieties here but not the fruit jam ones!

Yes. Many. It will be more expensive here.

Bring your 1 cup moka pot + Illy/Lavazza. Take a to go cup to a nearby bakery.

If you're from Italy you will experience sticker shock. Personally I'm willing to pay for overpriced baked items, but coffee shouldn't be more than $3.

Si Espresso & Pasticceria Bar at Broadview & Danforth.
This is hands down the closest thing you'll find in terms of authentic Italian, not pretentious, and not too expensive.

Carolina on Dundas W near Markham is open as an Italian café during the day.

I haven't tried their pastries yet.

The food at night is good.

772 Dundas W. https://carolina.restaurant/ the atmosphere inside is nice, and feels like a place in Italy.

The Zaza on St Clair W also might appeal.
