Trattoria Nord is a neighbourhood place on Alberta Street, built around a wood-fired oven and a long communal table.
The dough proves slowly, so the crust comes out light, blistered and a little smoky. Pasta is rolled every morning and the sauces are simple — tomatoes, good olive oil, whatever is best at the market that week.
Come for a quick slice at the counter or settle in for a long dinner. Either way, there's a seat and a glass of something Italian waiting.
