39 Best Italian Restaurants in North York

“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“

“Great food great atmosphere 👏🍷“

“Food is always amazing!! The service is great, friendly it is like you are a part of the family with every visit! A MUST EXPERIENCE!!“

“We had a family event last night at their restaurant. I can't stress how great the value is here, and the food quality was top shelf. I have eaten food cooked by some of the best chefs in the world and this was every bit as good. the staff were attentive but not at all intrusive. very accommodating for our large group of 15 people. Their shrimp and calamari platter was cooked perfectly, not at all rubbery, with a divine sauce to dip. Pasta nicely al denté. Calabrese antipasto, nice bread spread. Perfect, and I do mean PERFECTLY, cooked steak, chicken, and sausages. Their pizza is simple but lovely balanced between crisp and chewy. Not too thick, not too thin. Arancini were great. I highly recommend them for your next family event, or just a quiet night out for the family! Thank you to all the staff and the chef for making our family event a success, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!“

“Thank you, Chef Piotr Przykaza and your wife for phenomenal dinner and Tristian for an amazing service 😊🍷 Very highly recommend it 👍“

“Delicious food. Good friendly service“

“The food is terrific - unpretentious classics, obviously passed down through generations. Ask if Albert will be there when you make reservations; trust me, he makes the entire evening just that much better.“

“Enjoyed an amazing dinner on the patio Will definitely be back“

“Excellent food, great atmosphere and service!“

“An old restaurant with history and a proud tradition. The food is good. The honest kind of good. They offer a generous spectrum of texture and flavour even with simple dishes like the minestrone. The setting can easily transport you to where your imagination goes.“

“Today I tried their butter chicken pizza. Oh my! Its amazing!! The meat was juicy and the chunks of meat large. I highly recommend!! Oh and its a bit spicy! But I love spice so it was to me as spicy as pepper lol
I ate it before i could take a pic. They also have a korean fried chicken pizza or some type of korean chicken pizza that i need to try.
I think i spoke to the owner? So friendly!“

“The food was absolutely amazing. My 3 daughters and I went there for dinner during Summerlicious 2022. We didn't have reaervations and the options were a 1 hour wait to sit inside or be seated right away on the patio. We chose the patio. We were served our drinks and appetizers within 1/2 hour but our main course came about an hour after but it was worth the wait. We will definitely return🍾🎉“

“Just went there to grab a quick bite couldn’t be happier with the service, very fast and very nice service, the food was amazing and it was also very clean and a very charming place you could tell that the food was made with love and passion. If you’re on a budget this is a great place for you personally I will definitely be coming back absolutely loved it“

“We arrived for an early seating (6pm) and had a hard stop at 7:30pm - the waiter/owner was very cognizant of our departure time so nudged us in a pleasant way to place our orders. The noise level started as soft, and by the time we left the restaurant was quite busier and noisier. The food was excellent.“

“Amazing fresh pasta, staff are wonderful and helpful. so glad i found them“

“Been eating at Cali's since I was a kid downtown at the original location.

I always anticipate a decline in the quality, but they have managed to keep the same experience for as long as I could remember.

It's a tad on the expensive side, but in all honesty, I never leave unsatisfied. I'll go for the veal, at least a few times every month.

No matter how many other places I try a veal, they never really match up how Cali's makes it.

Keep up the great food California Sandwiches, thank you.“

“Last night my husband and I had the distinct pleasure to dine at Boccaccio and be greeted by Chef Luciano himself. He provides personable service and delicious food that more than exceeded our expectations and dining experience as this was our first visit…and we will definitely go back! We enjoyed the small bites of spicy calamari and merluzzo, tuna salad and homemade pasta (it’s all made fresh any pasta) with seafood. The sauce was so on point!
The olive oil with the complimentary warm buns is so authentic and produced in Calabria from Luciano’s family olive grove and honestly we would have been ok savouring this olive oil all night it was that good! Kudos to Luciano and the authenticity he and his staff deliver to stay true to the true flavours of Italian cuisine. Highly recommend!“

“Generous portions. Got pizza this time, which was good and filling (took half of it home). Last time, I had their pan-seared salmon fillet topped with a honey garlic sauce and served with roasted potatoes & vegetables, which I highly recommend. Great outdoor patio spaces too. Quiet. Parking fills up fast in their small lot but you can park on the side streets for free. Service was friendly & attentive. Ask for Mike, he's great!“

“We were in the area so it’s our first time trying out this lovely family-run business. We ordered the veal sandwich and penne with rose sauce and added chicken - perfection. The standout is for sure the rose sauce. The serving size was impressive too, highly recommend!“

“I had a great experience at Pizza Pizza on Wilson Avenue! The staff was friendly, fast, and made sure my order was perfect. The pizza was hot, fresh, and had just the right amount of cheese and toppings. I really appreciated how clean the store was and how quickly they handled everything, even during a busy time. Definitely one of the better Pizza Pizza locations in the area — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“Portions generous. Price reasonable and food tasty“

“I went for lunch today with a girlfriend, and everything was fabulous! The service, the wine, and especially the Capricciosa pizza prepared by Carlos, who has the cutest smile. The crust, the sauce, and all the ingredients were simply perfect! I can't wait to go again.“

“Incredible Birthday Dinner – A Vegetarian Haven!

We celebrated my birthday at Sorento recently, and it was a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch—the staff really made us feel welcome. It’s a very cozy place with a great atmosphere. We had a fantastic time catching up with friends and family. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Thank you, Sorento, for making my birthday so special. We had a wonderful time in such a cozy atmosphere!“

“I got off at Sheppard–Yonge Subway Station and found this pizza store just outside. Tanu was very helpful in guiding me through the order and recommending delicious toppings. The atmosphere was relaxed, with seating that faces the street, offering a nice view. Overall, a great spot—I highly recommend this pizza place!“

“The best Pizza Pizza location! I had an issue with a few missing pieces in my order, but not only were they super prompt and responsive, they were more than generous by giving us more replacement food. Very very friendly. Thank you always!“

“We've come to Parcheggio for brunch on two occasions and really enjoyed it. Our servers were quick, friendly and accommodating. We asked for strong cappuccino and the quality was excellent. The steak and eggs dish was well done, and the sour dough bread and hash brown with eggs dish was also excellent. The quality of the ingredients tasted fresh, nothing was too oily or greasy. We also enjoyed the ambiance of nice jazz music playing on a Sunday morning. We'll certainly be coming back.“

“Back for a 2nd time, food just as delicious and fresh as the first time. It was nice to enjoy their reasonably priced lunch menu, we enjoyed the Sicilian (one with turkey and no eggplant) and the Turkey with provolone and jelly. My daughter ordered bow tie pesto pasta di burrata - out of this world fresh and delish! We ordered bruschetta and heated olives/crostini and the maple pecan salad, the dressing was a bit on the sweet side if you don't mind, we found it scrumptious. Desserts were great, cannoli with pistachio filling, chocolate eclair (we think coffee would be better), tiramisu was ok, and best of all of them however was the nutella filled croissant with fresh strawberries, heaven! Happy to go again, and again, and again :-)“

“We went to Pizza Pizza with a group of friends and everything was great from start to finish. The girl working there was friendly, patient, and very helpful when we were choosing our toppings. The pizza was delicious soft inside and crispy outside just how we like it. The restaurant was clean and well-organized. Excellent service and great food.“

“I recently bought a pizza from Pizza Pizza, and the experience was great. The customer service was friendly and quick, and they handled my order without any issues. The pizza arrived on time, hot, and exactly how I ordered it. Overall, smooth service and a good meal.“

“Amazing location! I ordered online (stupidly) and for some reason they gave me boneless bites instead of wings. I can’t eat boneless bites. I called and after some discussion. Even after closing the manager came and personally delivered wings to make my order right. Very happy with the service and he went up and beyond the call of duty! Good people I really appreciate you making it right. Thank you!“

“This is my Favour pizza location, I always order there because the customer service Mary is a very nice lady and excellent service, she also speaks a little mandarin, she always positive and made sure my order is complete before I check out. and I love the pizza and chicken wings, they are so fresh and delicious!“

“Today i came in to get a slice of pizza but to my surprise the customer service rep was so helpful and pleasant in helping me to navigate the menu. I ended up getting a whole pizza and wings thanks to go. Thanks to Sukhman. Great customer service ? ?“

“Really good pizza, appetizers yummy too“

“Sandra she's the best“

“Great spot. The pizza was fresh, hot, and tasted way better than I expected. You could tell it was made with care, not just thrown together. Crust had a nice crunch, and the toppings were solid.

Service was also really good, friendly and fast. The staff made the whole experience nice and pleasant. Definitely one of the better Pizza Pizza locations I’ve been to. Will be back for sure.“

“The owner was so friendly when we walked in the door. He gave us lots of time to look ofer the extensive menu and gave us a great education lesson on his fancy pizza oven. The pizza was fast and delicious and the garlic dipping sauce I could eat on its own!“

“The customer service at this place is tremendous. I was confused what to get in vegetarian options and Nav helped me out to pick a deal of 2 medium pizzas with 3 toppings each in a really good price. Overall great experience!! Will visit again :)“

“Excellent breakfast. Fresh ingredients, friendly and professional service. Highly recommended A+++“
