PREZZE MOLLO clocks in under three hours a day—but it makes them count. Found in the eastern stretch of Mile End’s industrial corridor, this Italian lunch spot serves rigatoni vodka, cappelletti stuffed with artichokes, and fried chicken that shouldn’t be this good on a mid-week break. It’s the work of Catherine Caron and Julien Messier-Cousineau, a couple who know their audience: people who want a quick, satisfying lunch, but might just stretch it into aperitivo. The space balances efficiency with warmth, backed by a menu where everything’s made from scratch—from the focaccia to the sauces. The drink list leans natural, with wines you can sip solo or pair with whatever’s on the plate, and cocktails that favour precision over flash.
