Restaurant Story
The menu is old world, with a strong focus on fresh, quality cuisine. Our fish are delivered and hand selected on a daily basis. There's no fooling around with Aurora Stranges, the chef who hails from Calabria. Nothing will come out of the kitchen without her exacting standards.
Chef's Bio
Aurora Stranges is the head chef of Toronto’s La Vecchia Ristorante, which, literally translated, means “The Old Woman”. Neither Aurora’s energy or her appearance suggest that she is old. She has worked in every capacity from dishwasher to waitress on her way to becoming head chef. She draws inspiration for her cooking from both her mother and the Calabria region of Italy where her family is from. These two influences combine to form dishes from simple recipes that rely heavily on olive oil and fresh ingredients delivered daily.
