What’s next for Daddyo and his beloved pasta joint?

Although Jeffrey Markus said goodbye to Daddyo’s Pasta & Salads in August after 15 years, he was not prepared to permanently part with his loyal fan base, otherwise known as Daddyo’s Nation.
"This is probably one of the toughest adjustments of my life," the 65-year-old told CTV News Toronto. "I’m still digesting everything in the last three months."
To lessen the loss of Daddyo’s closing, Markus is reviving his red painted corner spot on Spadina Avenue, just south of Bloor Street, for a nostalgic evening.
On Saturday, Daddyo’s is running a pop-up featuring their top sellers, including jerk chicken in a white sauce and bolognese paired with a choice of fettuccine, spaghetti, rotini or penne.
"They are going to be lined up around the corner," Markus said.
