Do yourself a favour and make a reservation because this place does get super busy. We got lucky on a Saturday night waiting for a table at the bar.
Our server was SO much fun and gave us the run down on all the menu items, his favourites etc. We got the Ibisco drinks which were PINK with flowers, bolognese, calamari, cardinale pizza and vodka pasta which were all 10/10. Only complaint is the pasta arrived at our table a bit cold. Other than that everything was great.
Great atmosphere for your ig pics and the drinks are so aesthetic. Will definitely be back.

I took my ultra Italian, Sicilian parents to this place for a birthday celebration and they didn't stop bringing it up for like, a week. Being Sicilians they flipped over the octopus and even ate the pasta without saying it was missing anything. Atmosphere was great, especially since outside was brick af

We had the most incredible dining experience at Oretta From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and attentiveness. The customer service was absolutely top-notch, making us feel welcome and well cared for throughout the entire evening.
The food was phenomena , every dish was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in their craft.
A special shoutout to Jenna T., who was our waitress. She went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Jenna was attentive, friendly, and had great recommendations. Her positive energy truly enhanced our experience.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for amazing food and outstanding.

I thought I liked this place, but my last experience was quite subpar and disappointing.
I called ahead of time - spoke with the hostess that we were celebrating our friends' engagement and if they could do a little something special and that it will be split bills and if this info could be relayed to our waiter. She advised that they can put a sparkler in a dessert and the split bills wouldn't be an issue. Perfect!
Once seated and ready to order, our waitress didn't care to acknowledge our celebration (despite there being balloons), which I thought was kind of lame. Near the end of our dinner, I expected that they would have remembered to bring out the dessert with the sparkler, but nope...nothing.
When it came time to pay, the waitress said they can only split our table of 11 into two or in one full bill, which is something the hostess should have verified with first prior to confirming that split bills would be fine. NBD, we paid in one.
Oh and they also added an 18% auto gratuity AFTER taxes...which isn't quite right, but I'll let that slide.
Food wise, it was alright but nothing noteworthy, esp at that price point.

Yummy food! Portion size was on the small side for the price of brunch but still enjoyed

One of our party of 8 made a reservation for 2.45pm yesterday (Sunday). When we arrived, we were informed by the host that the kitchen would be closing at 3.pm. The service was very good and the meal progressed as it should. At some point, the lights in the restaurant were turned off or at least dimmed. That obviously was a signal for us to leave. Please don't allow customers to make reservations so close to closing time. We were there to relax and have a nice meal and were unaware of your opening times.

The service was really bad, the host girls were so rude and the food was really quality this time. I went a couple of times to this restaurant and the service and food was way better before.

Been a few times and service is hit or miss. Hostesses are always confused, servers have random large areas and even though there are lots of them they are hard to track down. Server got my friend’s order wrong about 5 times and he was patient. I asked for ketchup for my fries and the reply was, “we don’t serve ketchup.” Come on guys, we ain’t in Europe at a Michelin restaurant, it’s Canada, King West. Overall, basic same old Italian menu. Nice patio in the summer.

Pricey pasta but tasted amazing!
We made a reservation for two people at 5pm. Service was great and our server was very friendly! We ordered and shared the Cacio Pepe, Branzino, and the Ravioli for our entrees.
Cacio Pepe was made al denté which I liked and found very unique, along with the creaminess and great taste. Portion was slightly small but I would still order it again. It was also pretty cool that they finished it off in front of us by cooking it in a big cheese wheel prior to serving it to us.
The ravioli was also just as great! The filling and pieces of truffle on top made the pasta taste very unique. I would also order it again.
Branzino tasted good but wasn't outstanding since I had better. I wouldn't order it again and would rather order something else.
Also, for dessert we got the tiramisu which they made their own modern twist to it. It was pretty much an espresso gelato with pieces of cake on it. Very yummy and perfect for finishing the experience!
Overall very romantic ambiance with very yummy food!
Very cute Italian trattoria with unique brunch options. We went with the arancini and the baked potato with mortadella and pistachio. We finished with the French toast which was one of the best we ever had. Definitely would go back, reservations are strongly encouraged!
Vegetarian options: Has some vegetarian options available.
Dietary restrictions: Restaurant will make adjustments.

The food was very below average and the portions were too bad for a 30$ dish. It is extremely overpriced just because of the ambience which is also not something unique.

We went in for happy hour. Served by Naz and we loved her. Literally perfect service. She was attentive without being too much. We had a great conversation with her before heading out. Perfect way to kick off our night.
The food and drinks were also delish and prompt. We had a movie to catch and we were in and out with time to spare. We will def be in again. Thanks Naz!!!

Host was distracted at the bar when I arrived. Server was very nice but I think she had too many tables. Service was very slow. No water for 30 minutes. Poured my own wine every time. Food was okay. Pizza dough is not good.
