It’s been years since my friend and I have been wanting to try this place and we finally went right before Christmas and were very sad we waited this long! The food was amazing, the service even better and it’s such cute and cozy restaurant, you can feel the passion and love of the Owners.
The calamity was perfectly cooked, breading ratio was on point.
Classic caprese but super fresh.
The lamp with pasta and shrimp risotto were so flavourful and felt like nonna cooked them in the kitchen.
The fondant was cooked just the right amount and was not overly sweet.
Definitely will be coming here more often!

We celebrated my 60 birthday at CaFfino on Dec 14th and I can’t say enough about our experience. There were 10 of us. The food was, as always, exceptional! Everyone loved what they ordered.
The staff were amazing!! My Brother, Sister and Parents (Dad is 90) flew in as a surprise- but their plane was delayed in Ottawa for 3 hours- the staff were flexible with our reservation and even accommodated their very late arrival allowing us to order meals as they landed and stay open for my very special celebration. I will remember this Birthday forever- in big part due to the Caffino. Thank you

I’ve been visiting Caffino since I was a little girl, and it’s always been a special place for me. After a bit of a break, I’ve recently become a regular again, and I can honestly say it just keeps getting better. The atmosphere feels like home—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The food? Always exceptional. Whether it's the fresh pasta, delicious pizza, or incredible desserts, everything is made with care and quality ingredients. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make every visit memorable. Caffino has been a staple in my life for so many years, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine!
What an amazing dinner we had! This is now our favourite restaurant in Toronto and we highly recommend it. Great family feel and amazing food!

12/10 visiting with girlfriends before a night out at the Royal Winter Fair! Our server was fantastic, attentive, and made the experience incredible.
Making your way down the cobblestone walkway and into the charming restaurant was the first hint that it was going to be a great evening.
The penee a la vod was amazing, the Osso Bucco served with risotto was out of this world and the lamb was just *chefs kiss*. We will definitely be returning!

Our experience at Caffino was a really mixed bag. The lasagna was way overcooked, our food took an astoundingly long time to be served, and our table was really uncomfortable, as it had basically no legroom beneath it.
On the other hand though, their focaccia was really good, and our server was extremely personable, charismatic, attentive, and apologetic about the delays. I'd love to give a better review based on our server alone, but the other components of the experience were too negative to review positively.

We had our wedding here and it was the perfect spot for a small wedding (we've invited ~50 people). The decor is beautiful and the food is amazing. Rosa was very easy to work with and accommodated all of our requests. The staff were extremely helpful on the day with our set up. Every spot in this restaurant is photogenic and we've had a great time. We highly recommend this place for weddings or for the perfect date night.

Fresh creamy delicious light Italian food nestled in a cute industrial area of Liberty village Parkdale. The gate and entrance way will have you walking through a secret european-esque secret garden alley way. From entrance to exit it took me back to Italy. What a delicious hidden gem.

Caffino was amazing!!! We went for our anniversary and loved all the dishes we ordered. Our server Vinchenzo was very hospitable and had great recommendations. We had the fried calamari, gnocchi, and the carbonara. Home made pasta, cooked al dente, and super well priced for the portion size. For desert we had the cannoli and tiramisu. Great way to end it off! Highly recommend checking out this hidden gem if you’re in the area

Caffino was the perfect place to have our wedding. The owner Rosa, and her incredible team helped us so much to create the perfect Urban wedding. The food was amazing, the decor, the service was all top notch. Our guests are still talking to us about the day and night of our wedding there this past Sept. 21, 2024. Would HIGHLY recommend for hosting a dream wedding.
A beautiful hidden gem west of downtown- amazing Italian food, gorgeous aesthetics and lighting, friendly staff! We reserved a table for 7 for a birthday dinner and will definitely be back celebrating more milestones here!

Amazing staff and delicious food, a new favourite of ours
The atmosphere and food are amazing. I think there were only two or three servers in the whole place so service was slow. It took several minutes before we were even greeted and given water. Food was amazing, good cocktails and good wine.

Our server was just great, really listened to my queries concerning ingredients, and made us feel so welcome. The Chef did a great job accommodating my dietary needs - and goodness knows, it is difficult for them when one of me shows up!

We hadn't been at Caffino for a long time but we felt immediately at home again thanks to the warm welcome back from Vincenzo who is definitely our favourite waiter in the city! This guy is from a different level in terms of knowledge, competence, sense of humour and excellent manners.My wife had the saffron risotto with prawns and I the veal chop with risotto with mushrooms and they were both to die for.We finished our dinner with a delicious homemade tiramisu.We will definitely come back soon.Thank you Caffino and Vince!
