After a busy day visiting Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, CN Tower, and the Distillery District, we had to decide where to have dinner. I want to try Harvey's (I blame all those commercials when we're watching the NFL 😏), but the location closest to our hotel is closed because it's a holiday. 😞
We just continued walking to our hotel from Harvey's location and decided on Pizza Rustica. It's within the block of our hotel, and they're open 24 hours.
I had low expectations of the place because it's usually empty when we walk past the restaurant. And, for dinner, we're the only ones here. But, to be fair, it's a holiday.

| Arancini Vegetable arancini on a bed of Arugula and topped with tomato sauce. |
The arancini were alright and pretty acceptable.
 |
| Seafood Pasta Tiger shrimp, mussels, calamari, herbed tomatoes, and onions in a tomato sauce |
I am surprised at how much I enjoyed their seafood pasta. The seafood is perfectly cooked, and the spaghetti is al dente. I'll happily order this again.

| Rustica Pizza Prosciutto, roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mushrooms, and mozzarella in tomato sauce. |
The thin-crust pizza was delicious too. I didn't like the roasted peppers and thought it could use a minute or two more in the oven, but it's a great-tasting pizza. We had leftovers which we reheated in the hotel room microwave, which was even better.
Overall, it's an excellent dinner to end a tiring day.
