Parking

One block east of us is Castle Knock Road, turn north and you will see the entrance to a Green P parking lot that runs behind our row of buildings - please don't come through the alleyway - it's an alleyway! Come in the front door. You can try your luck parking on the side streets, but we're staying out of it!

7Numbers Danforth is making some adjustments to better serve our friends in these quarantine times.

Thank you to everyone who has kept us rolling through these times, we appreciate your love and support!

Parking

It's Danforth, what can I tell you - the best parking option is to take the subway. There's a Green P at 25 Ferrier Avenue to the east of us and one at 35 Erindale Avenue just to our west, and you might score a spot on the side streets but be careful - and be nice to the neighbours.

Rosa Marinuzzi's lasagne
We are so proud of our Rosie's appearance on Breakfast Television this morning (November 21/19)! She got hands-on with the lasagne and won some new fans!

Rosa's Famiglia

Mention Rosa Marinuzzi's name, or that of her trattoria - 7Numbers - to anyone you meet in Toronto's Eglinton West neighbourhood and chances are they'll exclaim, "Mama Rosa?!" Whether at the local gelateria, the salon, the coffee shop, or the grocer, her laughter and joyful enthusiasm is more than just a reputation, it's a presence.

Born and raised on a farm near the town of Modugno in southern Italy, Rosa loves to tell stories of her childhood. From stealing fresh bread from the kitchen after school to sneaking into the cellar with her brother to pilfer fresh cheese or olive oil, her love of food started at a young age. With a focus on fresh, ripe ingredients, Rosa never fails to express their natural, vibrant flavours.

Rosa's Fritelle

Bet you can't have just one frittelle! Frittelle are traditional Italian Christmas Eve doughnuts. Delicious and light, you can have them savoury or sweet!

Ingredients

• Take a piece of pizza dough (you can use store-bought or frozen) the size of a tennis ball and flatten it with a rolling pin into a flat and round shape.
• The thickness of the dough should be no more than 1/4 of an inch.

Instructions

• Place 3-4 tbsp of your favourite filling in the center of the dough - scallions, mozzarella, tomatoes, grated Parmigiano cheese, Nutella, or leave them plain!
• Fold the dough over the filling and close it in the shape of a 1/2 moon.
• Press down the outer edges of the dough to completely seal the frittelle. Cut the excess dough away.
• Fry in olive oil until they are golden brown and serve (preferably!) very hot. If you are making sweet frittelle, you can cover them in cinnamon and sugar.

Taralli

Ingredients

• 4 cups Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2/3 cups Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1-2 tsp Fennel seeds and cracked black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
• Add the oil and wine, and mix with a fork until the dough forms into a rough mass.
• On a wooden board, knead dough for approx. 5 minutes, until smooth. Knead spices into dough.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-30 minutes.
• Pinch walnut-sized pieces of dough, rolling first between your hands and then against the wooden cutting board, so that the dough forms a thin rope, about ½ inch (1 cm) in diameter and 4" long (10 cm).
• Shape each rope into a ring and seal the edges by pressing them together lightly, then set aside on a wooden board and cover with a towel.
• In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to boil.
• Put 6-10 of the taralli into the boiling water, and when they float to the surface (this will only take 30-60 seconds!) remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a cloth to dry and cool.
• Put the cooled taralli on baking sheets and bake for approx. 25 minutes, until golden.
• Remove and cool on racks.
• Store in a closed container to keep them crisp.

• Remove sheets and submerge in pot with cold water.
• Repeat with 6 more halved sheets.
