This place is such a hidden gem, truly. Look at the [expensive] prices as a means to pay for the freshest and most quality ingredients, the delectable flavours, and the unwaveringly attentive service. If I could eat this every night I would; we live in the neighbourhood and Gio has become a highlight to see and chat with. His team seems small but mighty and his food is nothing short of impressive. It is the closest we have found to authentic after travelling through parts of Italy a while back. Bravo to this whole team and Gio for his ultimate charisma and dining experience!

An excellent, cozy, and intimate Italian restaurant where you feel at home. Pasta dishes are always delicious, and the menu changes, offering new flavors with the change of season!

If you want to experience authentic, deliciously prepared Italian food, you could go to Italy, or you could go to Padella. The owner, Giovanni, who hails from Genoa, supervises every aspect of the dining experience to ensure it is memorable. You are not likely to taste better pizza or pasta anywhere else in Toronto.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Service was phenomenal, food was delicious, in a cozy and intimate setting. We had the carbonara and the vegetable ravioli, with sardines as a starter.

The perfect hidden gem! I recently ate here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience. The owner (Giovani) is so kind and welcoming and his staff are top tier! The food was also amazing. It was like I was transported to Italy. I started my dinner off with the burrata and fig special, then fettuccine bolognese where the pasta noodles are perfectly Al dente and finish with the best tiramisu I’ve ever had! If you’re looking for a place with amazing service and great food I would highly recommend this place! I will definitely be coming back :)

The fish of the day was really good and my son who is a real foodie appreciated fried calamari big time! On a separate note, we tried two pizzas - both were excellent!
Great service, all was quick and tasty.
Oh, yes, baked peaches with burrata as appetiser - to die for...
