Bill, please Google this. I would not fly with them unless it was a "quickie" between a couple of short stops. Do some reading on what can happen to your luggage, or you, for that matter if you fly with them.

Alitalia in general has a "bad reputation" but I've never had a problem with them. I've only flown them from JFK to Rome or Milan, so I can't comment on their Toronto service. And it's been a while, so I don't know about their current status or amenities. I can't be sure about Alitalia now, but most European airlines don't charge for food or booze (including hard liquor), so unless you're buying duty free in flight, you don't need to worry about cashless cabin policies. Flyertalk.com is the source for information about your questions - that's where the really knowledgeable people hang out.
