Fans of Effie’s pasta at Caffe E Torta on Little Collins will be pleased to know that this mini-empire of tasty carbs is expanding westside. (By that we mean west of Elizabeth, up towards the legal eagles.)

Milano, the sister café of Torta just opened up on Queen and it’s like a little piece of Little Collins right next to the Cheesecake Shop. It’s already packed with Queen Streeters pleased to have some good Genovese on their doorstep. Some menu items are a bit pricey, but how can you argue with hearty Italian food? It is like arguing with a hearty Italian. “You don like my Sugo con Carne? Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is. Times have changed. It's not like the old days, when we can do anything we want. A refusal is not the act of a friend. And Johnny Fontane will never get that movie. I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork.” Etc.

Plus, the servings are huge.
