50 Best Italian Restaurants near King City

“Great restaurant. Food was very good - loved the fois gras crastini and the risotto. The octopus was just ok. Everyone at the restaurant was so welcoming and attentive, holding doors, refilling water, asking if there is anything we need. Great ambiance. Would definitely recommend.“

“One of the most iconic and well-made Italian restaurants in the GTA. The food is always authentic and delicious, and the service is consistently good with friendly, smiley servers. I’ve been a loyal client for many years and always enjoy coming back.

That said, the manager should take a closer look at the state of the washrooms—sometimes there are no paper towels available, which takes away from the otherwise great experience.“

“I was craving authentic Italian pizza and this little gem showed up on the map. My prayers were answered! The dough was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed with a flavour that would make my nonna cry tears of joy. Just the right amount of fresh topping to enhance it. Magnifico! 😋“

“I can never get tired of this place. I really enjoy their menu. Great atmosphere, great weight staff overall, I have a great experience visited the Sherway Gardens location first followed by the location by Colossus Both locations left me with great experience overall and will return again!“

“Wow it was so good experience the service was good the good was so good it was my first time there all I can say I do recommend to try it my boys meet the chef very friendly“

“I ordered the wedding soup take out. $7.99 but the paper cup they give you is minuscule. Should be at least double the size for the price they charge. What a rip off. Too bad because I like there food overall“

“Went in with a large hockey group with no reservations. Initially we were not very well received but they did eventually accommodate us. Our server Jen did a fantastic job. She was pleasant, quick, always checking in on everyone and always smiling, despite being run off of her feet. Great job to her!“

“Wow! A hidden gem I must say. Food and service were unmatched.

First we were greeted with bruschetta and a cheese/bread/olive platter. For apps we had the burrata and caesar salad — it was served directly on our plate… chefs kiss. Then for mains we had the surf & turf and paccheri gamberi — all I can say is WOW. Finally, for dessert we had crème brûlée and bread pudding.. a cherry on top to the meal.

Overall, we had an amazing dinner — great experience, definitely will be back!

Staff was amazing!“

“Service and food was impeccable. Parking was a bit messy but the valet was a good option. Given the area - prices may seem a bit high but it’s justified. Our server was attentive, food was lovely and corkage wasn’t too bad should you wish to bring your own bottle.

Was here to celebrate some belated birthdays and the desserts were comped which was an appreciated touch.“

“Awesome Italian Restaurant. Authentic friendly staff. Great lunch or dinner options.“

“Today we celebrated my father’s 90th birthday and there is no better place to celebrate than at Tovico! The food is great, the staff is very professional and make you feel very welcoming. Our guests commented that they would be coming back soon making us feel that they also had a great experience. Thank Riccardo, Tessa, Leo and staff for a great time. See you soon, Mary“

“Absolutely loved the food and the experience! The wings were perfectly grilled, juicy, and flavorful clearly made with care and expertise. The dipping sauce complemented the wings beautifully, adding a creamy and tangy touch. Definitely a place worth revisiting for both the food and the warm hospitality!“

“Veal sandwich, absolutely mouthwatering and delicious. Great service, fast, friendly. Support local small business. Bonus on the weekend they make fresh delicious cannoli and tiramisu. My son and I will be back. Thanks“

“Our first time there.so many good things to say. The service good vibes just loved it. What a way to celebrate my moms birthday. Thank you so much will definitely be back. 🍷🍷❤️“

“My husband and I recently had a fantastic experience at Ciao Roma, which stands out from the typical pizza joints. The unique pay-by-weight system allows you to sample multiple varieties of pizza without committing to a full slice or pie. This feature adds a delightful twist to your dining experience.

We tried four different types of pizza, and each one was phenomenal. The crust was wonderfully crispy, and the flavors were vibrant and well-balanced. Additionally, we indulged in a sandwich filled with prosciutto, arugula, and cheese, which was equally delicious.

Overall, Ciao Roma exceeded our expectations, and I can't wait to return for more culinary adventures. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a diverse pizza experience!“

“Excellent service (Reza), exceptional food, lovely atmosphere. Soho martini - amazing!“

“We visited Ciao Ragazzi with friends last night and had the most wonderful experience! The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being rushed - just perfect for a relaxed evening out.

The food was absolutely outstanding. We shared calamari, grilled octopus, burrata, and arancini - each dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The highlight for us was the freshly baked bread from their pizza oven… warm, fragrant, and honestly unforgettable! You can truly taste the love and authenticity in every bite.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, friendly vibes, and that true Italian feel - this is the spot. We’re already talking about when to go back! 🍷🍽️💛“

“Lovely venue, stylish ambiance, tasty Italian food choices, great wines offered by Vitalita www.Vitalita.ca Overall nice place in Woodbridge to dine or meet friend for lunch. I will revisit.“

“Absolutely love this place! Every dish I’ve tried has been incredible, but the penne alla vodka, the calamari fritti, and the stuffed peppers are absolute standouts—flavorful and perfectly cooked. The entire menu is consistently delicious, and the service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming every time. Truly one of my favorite Italian spots!“

“Excellent food. and very friendly staff. The mushroom salad, veal marsala, and the short ribs were fantastic. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Ottimo ristorante,ottima cucina, complimenti a tutto lo staff💯“

“I’ve been to this restaurant several times. Food is absolutely amazing and for this reason alone I will return. But as far as the owner is concerned … was very disappointed how he treated us. He basically kicked us out of our seats. The couple sitting next to us who were there already when we were seated were still there enjoying their time yet Walter asked my friend and I to leave because he had the next guests waiting. My guess is he had no problem asking us to leave because we were two females hence the reason he felt he could bully us, however, it would be a different story had he asked a couple to leave. Long story short, not impressed with Walter to say the least but food is exceptional!!“

“What an incredible experience. Arti is consistently the best. Just when we think we have a favourite dish or drink, they create a new favourite! We had the pad Thai and the branzino/lentil/chickpeas and WOW…So delicious!!! The drinks were all so good & my fav tonight was the Le Fleur. Keep it up and keep surprising us“

“AMAZING FOOD AND EXPERIENCE!! Restaurant was very clean and beautiful atmosphere... reminded me of the many times my family would gather together for family reunions, at fancy restaurants, when I was a kid. The service was great.... food came to the table very fast. The flavor was devine...I haven't had food taste like that in years. I think every single bite I took was worth the price.

This experience was a 10/10 for me. I will be going back 100%.... can't believe I just discovered this place now. My goal is to have everything on the menu.

Great for small partys or family get togethers ❤️.... or if you have a special someone you want to impress 😉

Delicioso 🤌“

“The best pizza in town ! I love going for dinner to Casa Carbone , not only for the amazing food , but also for the great service and super friendly staff . I totally recommend going and giving their amazing menu a try !“

“blano pizza and gnocchi were delicious 😋“

“Since my parents were staying at the Monte Carlo Inn I went there for dinner few times over the past 2 weeks. We had the chance to taste many dishes on the menu and always had great food, wine and espresso coffee. The service was also great. I didn't know this place before, but Botticelli's is definitely a place I would recommend for an authentic Italian food experience.“

“Having dined at Osteria Gente 4 times in recent weeks over weeknights and weekends, we experienced consistency in superior food quality and variety, efficient and friendly service (Aurora is wonderful) all in a relaxed, clean, and welcoming (and very accessible) atmosphere. Thank you Chef Antonio!“

“Had my nephew’s engagement over the weekend and the food was exceptional! My choice was salmon with vegetables and the salmon was enjoyed by all. A very nice size cooked to perfection…a nice crispy top and ever so tender on the inside. Not dry at all! Service was wonderful as well. Definitely going back!“

“An Unforgettable Evening at Zafferano Ristorante

Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating two of our family members at Zafferano Ristorante. Although we're not from Toronto and had never been to this restaurant before, our friends had booked a large section of the venue for over 30 guests—so we really didn’t know what to expect.

What followed was nothing short of amazing.

We started the evening with some beautifully crafted cocktails. The drinks were delicious, and our waiter was quick to offer creative twists on our usual favourites—setting the tone for the night ahead.

When it came time to sit down for dinner, the experience only got better. They kept bringing out plate after plate until we could barely move! The food was phenomenal: every dish was full of flavour, perfectly served at the right temperature, and visually stunning.

A special shoutout to our waiter, Alex. He was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring our glasses were full and that every new course arrived with perfect timing.

It was an incredible night and the perfect way to kick off our vacation. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and memories we’ll talk about for a long time.“

“I’ve been a regular here for about 30 years. Family, food experience and high school cafeteria gallerie where all your friends meet for lunch and enjoy the company“

“Elevated dining in Vaughan! Food and service were first class. It was our first time dining at L'antipasto and our expectations were surpassed. Thank you Samuel for the wonderful service and for sharing your knowledge of the cuisine and regions of Italy. Look forward to our next visit!“

“Great place, amazing food and impeccable service.!!!“

“Love this place my favourite!“

“They have a new menu out and there are items on it like polenta with ribs and sausage, bacala, homemade chicken soup with pastina and meatballs, papardelle with short ribs, speducci with minestra and lots more. A must try so authentic and a taste like Italy“

“We had an outstanding dinner, the food was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. The drinks were also top-notch, perfectly complementing the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service attentive without being intrusive. We’ll definitely be coming back for more. We highly recommend!“

“Great place with great service. There’s a guy there with so much flair. Suave dude.

I had the bolognese with spaghetti. Excellent cooking. Food was done to perfection.

Highly recommend it if you want quality Italian food.“

“Extremely good restaurant! as Italian I was never expecting to find these so good quality and tradition on the other side of the earth. Se siete italiani dovete assolutamente mangiare qui!“

“Beautiful Place. You must go and treat yourself and family“

“Enjoyed a beautifully crafted family style lunch with friends. This restaurant makes you feel like you’re entering a family’s home kitchen, so welcoming. The meats and pasta were perfectly cooked! I look forward to coming back very soon for some comforting Italian food.“

“first time eating here and it won't be the last time !!!“

“Came to this restaurant, I had the pesto shrimp pasta and it was delicious 😋, was so good, I recommend this great place, good place for dinner.“

“First time attending Anna and Lucio’s with family and would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely be coming back!!! From the atmosphere to the service and food it was phenomenal. The photos are the Calamari to start, amazing not to salty, very flavourful. The special was straciatella with spinach and tortellini. Amazing soup and the portion was filling for an appetizer I was quite shocked. They also gave us 2 servings of bread (which many places do not do that). For the mains we had the mushroom risotto, very rich, flavourful and creamy perfect amount of seasoning. Not too watery like most places. The veal chop with a SIDE of penne alla vodka was mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. I wanted to try 2 different dishes so they accommodated for me to get 2 different pastas (shows in photo 4) for the price of one dish. The handmade gnocchi with meat sauce was amazing and full of flavour and my second choice was the penne alla vodka and I was very happy and satisfied with my choice. I have never been to a place where I could get 2 great portioned and flavourful dishes for the price of one!!! The veal Parmesan and penne à la vodka was to die for and was cooked perfectly not full of fat like some other places that I have been toO!! The tiramisu dessert was amazing along with the pistachio, lemon and tarrone was very light, yummy and sweet!! The service was amazing. The accommodations that we were able to make along with the portion size sizes is very rare to find and made the experience 100% better. I would for sure recommend doing a party or coming here for special occasions or just something casual!!!“

“Amazing place with great patio Food was superb Service is awesome“

“The service was great! The food was amazingly delicious!“
