This is my second visit to Il Fornello restaurant
in Toronto’s Greektown neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was once dominated by Greek immigrants and restaurants (hence the name), but now it’s very multicultural. Il Fornello is an Italian restaurant with a very good plant-based menu to complement its ‘regular’ menu. Kudos to the restaurant for taking the initiative to create very good plant-based /vegan dishes. This is so contrary to my observation and experience at many other Italian restaurants that just refuse to evolve. 
Create / Offer it and they will come! And come back!
We ordered a couple desserts to share. The first was Plant-Based Crème Brûlée, although this was more for my friend than for me. I had a bit of it. I really liked the cream, but the burnt sugary crust was too sugary for me. Although she could tell it was plant-based, she absolutely loved the taste of it. In fact, she told me that this was the best crème brûlée she’s ever had.  I was so happy to hear that. 
My date / friend who was fully open to eating vegan was very impressed with the Crème Brûlée. She absolutely loved this and every dish we had ordered.

The Plant-Based Crème Brûlée was very reasonably priced at $8.95.
I will definitely return to Il Fornello and support / promote its vegan menu, whether it be this location or any of its other locations. 
Our waitress last night was great. She was very helpful in recommending various dishes.
