Pasta Night in Port Credit is now open. The restaurant offers a subscription service, which delivers a full, three-course meal, including an appetizer, entree, and dessert, every Monday evening.
Subscribers can see the menu for the week in advance, and decide if they want to try the meal or skip it and wait for the following week. The meal kits are delivered right to subscribers’ doors and the service is available to residents from Scarborough all the way to Hamilton.
Additionally, the restaurant also has a daily menu, which features Italian-inspired items, such as spaghetti, bucatini, and casarecce; Caesar and Caprese salads; as well as focaccia bread, and biscotti and cannolis.
According to the restaurant, all menu items — including the hot sauce — are made in-house, from scratch.

Good news for those who love chicken wings, AllStar Wings and Ribs is now open in Mississauga.
The Mississauga location, called AllStar Express, is the seventh iteration of the chain in the GTA.
The restaurant first came to be in 2003 after president and CEO, Tom Anastopoulos, had such a positive reaction from the wings he served at a BBQ at his house, he decided to open a restaurant.
Since then, the chain has been expanding, including its latest location in Erin Mills.
While it serves many different dishes, including burgers, steaks, sandwiches and salads, it’s known for its wings.
The popular chain currently offers more than 200 different ways to enjoy its chicken wings, and it’s constantly adding new flavours.
