Its been a long time since I have experienced customer service like they provided. They went out of their way to ensure all my requests were made and our party was accomodated.

This place defies logic in terms of service, food quality, and price. It’s just amazing.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Toronto! Their date night menu is definitely not to be missed. From the amuse bouche to the desserts, every dish was remarkable! Being a family-run restaurant, the owners lent a personal touch to the service. They even gave us an extra dessert on the house just because I mentioned I was curious about one of the menu items! Truly a precious hidden gem in the city.

BEST HIDDEN GEM IN TORONTOWhen you walk in to Clandestino you are immediately showered with an atmosphere of honesty and quality.The owners are excited and eager to share their food with you- and holy hell does this food delivery.I cannot begin to describe just how wonderful this food is- the best comparison is visiting a friend or relative whose parents can cooking really really well. It’s fine dinning meets home cooking.You will not be disappointed. Amazing value. Great service. Outstanding, inventive, delicious food.

Unfortunately, there was only one restroom available for both genders. Inside, there was a button that indicated the status of the door lock - red for locked and green for unlocked. However, despite locking the door properly, a man walked in on me, which was quite distressing.When I brought this to the attention of the waiter/owner and suggested that they consider putting up a sign to prevent such incidents, the response I received was far from satisfactory. Instead of acknowledging the issue and offering an apology, I was met with defensiveness and blame. The owner insisted that the locking mechanism was expensive and installed by the city, which seemed irrelevant to the situation.The lack of a simple apology and the owner's rude and aggressive attitude completely soured our dining experience. While the food was decent and the prices reasonable, I cannot recommend this restaurant due to the poor handling of a customer concern and the unpleasant encounter with the owner.

Girlfriend and I came here for the date night course. Things were going fine until my gf went to the washroom towards the end.There was only one washroom in the restaurant so it’s used by both genders. Inside the washroom there is a button that says “door locks when you push the button and turns red, green means unlocked”. As my gf was using it locked “red” , a man walked in her and she was shocked for obvious reasons. So after she told the waiter/owner politely what happened, suggesting maybe to put a sign about the door, all he did was just blaming my gf for not properly locking the door, saying “the city of Toronto installed it, it is worth 1000s of dollars”. When we said “we don’t care who installed it” the owner slammed the table and said “if you don’t care pay and leave”We don’t care how much it is, and who installed it, all we needed was a simple apology and everything would have been fine.His rude, aggressive, unapologetic attitude ruined our whole dinner experience. Sometimes, a simple apology is better than making excuses and blaming customers.Food is okay, price is fair but not recommended at all

Magnificent meal at Clandestino. The foie gras was insanely good! The owner was really personable and friendly, was the cherry on top of a wonderful night out. House wine was great too!

A hidden gem! ? They have this amazing deal for date nights: $100 for 2 people, which includes a small charcuterie board, 2 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 mains and 2 deserts. It’s not the fanciest environment but this made me love this place even more. The server is very attentive and caring, and they truly make you feel at home. Cozy environment and AMAZING food. Probably one of the best aperol spritz I had in Toronto. Would 100% recommend!

We absolutely adored this place and we're already planning to visit many more times! The service was outstanding, and the food was simply extraordinary, especially considering the reasonable prices for the fantastic quality and generous portions. We savored a delicious octopus dish, followed by succulent duck, and topped it off with tiramisu. Even the Aperol Spritz was spot-on! I can't praise this place enough. It's a gem!

Clandestino Wine Bar was fabulous!My fiancé took me there for my birthday last weekend and this cute and cozy gem did not disappoint.We decided on the “Date Night” special. For starters they brought us an “Amuse Bouche” of lovely paté, cheeses, chorizo. We had the scallops and wagyu tartare for appies, mains were both picanha, tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert. Food was amazing, and the attentiveness and service of both Edi and Desa was top notch! Highly recommend, we will definitely visit again!
