TORONTO — A fresh new entry to Toronto’s bustling café culture arrived earlier this week with the opening of the Italian-inspired Giovane Caffè Toronto. Located on the lobby level of Shangri-la Hotel Toronto, Giovane Caffè is inspired by the modern Italian coffee bar, offering a combination of classic Italian coffee drinks along with modern iterations likely to tempt even the strictest of espresso purists.
At the dedicated coffee counter, espresso aficionados will have a new destination to pick up ‘caffè speciali‘ and a thoughtfully curated selection of caffeinated beverages that includes delights such as mandorlatte and marocchino, among others. The caffè counter will also offer grab-and-go options such as yogurt with amarena cherries and granola; panini such as the mortadella with provolone, pistachio pesto, arugula and pickled onion; a daily selection of pastries; and espresso-based beverages courtesy of a state-of-the-art Victoria Arduino Eagle One espresso machine.
Giovane Caffè Toronto is the latest addition to the growing family of the award-winning Canadian restaurant group, Kitchen Table. “This is a very exciting time for our group of restaurants and especially the evolution of Giovane Caffè,” says Kitchen Table executive chef Valerio Pescetelli. “We’re really looking forward to introducing Torontonians to our concept and welcoming them to our unique space and Italian specialties.”
