Downtown restaurant reco needed

I wouldn't recommend Origin for a reunion dinner. It's extremely noisy.

Good value Italian or Vegetarian or Modern near Yonge and Wellesley

Magic Oven gets rightly slagged here for delivery pizza but it's not bad straight from the oven and this location is nicer than most. Good salads, too.
Wish is Italian-ish and more upscale.
Mela is a very inexpensive small cafe north on Yonge at Yorkville that's both Italian and vegetarian. Daytime only.

Help! Repatriated Torontonian baffled by the Chinese food!

Toronto did that kind of food 30 years ago — anyone remember Ginsberg & Wong? — bud sadly Sai Woo etc have all closed, replaced by Spring Rolls. China House used to be OK for that sort of thing but the new owners are said to have updated the menu.

If you like Toronto Thai, try Spring Roll's Chinese section. Not my cup of tea!

Disgraceland for dinner?

Horrible food. OK local drinking spot. Not dive-y at all. Certainly no Sneaky D.

What does Toronto do best?

I was with you till you started recommending restaurants. And where are these six Chinatowns? I know of three: Spadina/Dundas, Broadview/Gerrard, Scarborough/Markham (though that's a general area).

Can someone recommend a great Italian restaurant on College?

"Little Italy" hasn't been Italian since the 70s and while there's lots of restaurants and bars, few of them are Italian and none of them are "great." Il Gatto Nero and the Dip have the atmosphere, but only OK food.

Head to St Clair & Dufferin for the real thing instead (Marcello's, Tricolore, La Bruschetta), or better yet, Woodbridge.
