Ritz-Carlton's Toca throwing a celebration for Italy’s summer festival
August 15 marks Italy’s annual Ferragosto holiday. Celebrated across Italy, it is largely recognized as the nations’ most significant summer holiday and a highly anticipated time of rest and relaxation.
To mark this year’s Ferragosto holiday, for five days only, Toca at the Ritz-Carlton Toronto is offering an unmatched opportunity to peruse its cheese caves and curate a cheeseboard of your design, as part of of its limited-time-only a la carte menu.

Their cheese cave selection is varied and robust, including a 24-months aged Parmigiana Reggiano, a Rosemary Pecorino, and a 12-months aged Moliterno with Truffle cheese from Sicily, to name a few.
After selections are made, guests will be served their chosen cheeseboard, alongside fresh grapes, apricot jam, and crostini, as well as an array of meats, olive oils, and balsamic vinegars.

If they so wish, guests are invited to try Toca’s special salumi board for $65, with a choice of six different cuts of pork, including capocollo, speck, and prosciutto, served with grainy mustard, cornichons, olives, and baguette.
