25 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“

“The staff was lovely, the food was good!! Would def eat her again!“

“Great food great atmosphere 👏🍷“

“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.“

“Blown away! The tomato sauce... tasted like old-school grandma's in the best way.

The pizza crust!,.. Just so frikken good. Pasta is fresh. Wish they offered a panzerotto and a 3-cheese pizza on the menu.

What a gem this place is. Go early; it's nice and chill. I've only been twice now. It's the only place I'm talking about. I was told new ownership about 3 years ago..

Prices,, very very fair..

Chef, please sell your tomato sauce. I will take a crate!.“

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

“Excellent food, great atmosphere and service!“

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

“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.“

“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🍾🎉“

“Friendly staff … great neighbourhood spot :)“

“Me and my boyfriend went here for the first time to grab a bite to eat for lunch. I got the panzerotti and he got the hamburger. The food was so good. The service was good. Very welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. We will definitely be coming back!

If you’re in the area and looking for an Italian family owned place to get a bite to eat I definitely recommend giving Pacino Panino’s a try“

“This place is amazing! My friend and I shared everything and were so pleased. We specifically came for the polenta.
Had a salad to start and the cheese board as well. All were Amazing. Mario was our server and was so lovely to chat with as well. Would definitely come back.“

“I have been a patron of California Sanwiches for more than 30 years and have been to almost all locations in the GTA. I was sorry to hear the original location downtown Toronto was closing. My daughter reminded of the York Mills location, so when I was leaving downtown Toronto, I decided to go! Veal sandwich, hot olives and a Brio! What a joy to eat!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We just happened upon Nobleton’s VIvo on a drive through town tonight looking for a place to stop for dinner…what an absolute treasure we found! The food was delicious, the staff treated us like family and the atmosphere was almost festive! We left with our tummies full, a bounce in our steps and our hearts happy having such a wonderful dinning experience. I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Portions generous. Price reasonable and food tasty“

“Pizza Pizza is a solid choice when you want something quick, affordable, and satisfying. The menu has a wide variety of options, from classic pepperoni pizzas to wings, fries, and even plant-based choices, so there’s something for everyone. The ordering process is simple, whether you go in-store, online, or through their app, and the service is usually fast.

The pizza itself is consistent—freshly made with a good balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings. While it may not be gourmet, it delivers exactly what you expect from a reliable chain: hot, tasty food at a reasonable price. Their dipping sauces are also a standout feature and add extra flavor to every bite.

Overall, Pizza Pizza is a dependable option for a quick meal, especially when you’re on a budget or need something convenient. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done well.“

“Deliious food,charming service. Will definitely eat here again!“

“Had a great service at this location, ordered 4 medium pizzas, 8 drinks, and 4 dips. Food was anazing but took awhile. One worker was locked in at the front and did alot of work and deserves a raise. The other worker, (Antoon) stayed in the back either prepping some up, or prepping himself. Antoon rarely came to the front and displayed a mean/nonchalant face. Additionally, he came to the front and pulled 4 plastics bags which was his first appearance. To conclude my review, I would ljke to thank the worker for basically carrying Antoon by doing all the work in a busy time. Antoon, I don’t think pizza pizza is a great a fit for you. Maybe you were in training or prepping something in the back, but please try to display yourself more often and take orders, instead of just pulling out bags and staying in the back.
