New restaurants on Bayview offer Italian, East Indian fare

Both the food spots preparing to open on Bayview Ave opposite Belsize Dr. are off-shoots of established businesses. Tutto Pronto is an Italian cuisine sit-down and takeout restaurant operating on Avenue Rd. Maurya Indian Roti has places on the Lake Shore and in Liberty Village. It seems to have an emphasis on takeout. Tutto Pronto, in the former jewellery location north of Scotiabank, has been slow to get open. Maurya has taken over from a tenant who tried but did not get open. Work was hurriedly going on there Thursday. It is in the former Rosie’s space where 2 Bros Cuisine tried but failed to make a go of it. It is a challenging business. The economy is okay but one has to know what the customer wants. Good luck to all.
