I stopped by while looking for a great Italian spot in Toronto, and the calamari truly exceeded my expectations. It was perfectly fried crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of fresh ocean flavour. Served with a slice of lemon and a delicious dipping sauce, it made the whole dish even more enjoyable. Throughout the meal, both the atmosphere and the service were excellent; in a warm and lively setting, I had a genuinely high-quality start to my dining experience.

Great Italian restaurant with delicious, authentic food. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the flavors were rich, and the service was friendly and attentive. Cozy atmosphere — definitely worth visiting again!

We celebrated an anniversary, but the seating was terrible and the service was awful. The wait between appetizer, main course, and dessert was far too long, and the food arrived cold. When we told the server, there was no apology—just “I just served the dish that came 30 seconds ago.” I'll never come back to this location, and I won't recommend it to anyone.

Bad Service and Disappointing Experience
I made a reservation a day in advance for a special celebration, expecting a pleasant and thoughtful dining experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
When we arrived, the waitress seated us at a table in the basement, where we were the only guests in the entire area. Since there were many empty tables in the main dining room, we politely asked if we could be seated there instead. Instead of accommodating us properly, we were given a small stand-up bar table right next to the glass entrance vestibule.
For a planned celebration, the seating felt dismissive and uncomfortable. The overall experience was disappointing, especially considering we had reserved ahead of time. I hope the restaurant improves its customer service and gives more consideration to guests celebrating special occasions.

Had an early Sunday dinner at Terroni Adelaide before a concert at Massey Hall and it was a great pre-show spot. The restaurant is set inside a former 1852 courthouse, with soaring ceilings and a beautiful atrium. Even the washrooms are downstairs in old jail cells, which is a fun little surprise.
We shared the Calamari alla Griglia to start, fresh and nicely balanced. My date had the Spaghetti in Canna a Mare. It was labelled mildly spicy but definitely had some heat, though the flavours were great. I ordered the Ravioli al Brasato, which was delicious but the portion was on the smaller side. I could have eaten a few more ravioli and been perfectly happy.
We finished with tiramisu, plus an amaro for me and zambuca for my date. Service was friendly, though drinks were a bit slow coming out. The place filled up quickly but never felt chaotic.
Beautiful space, solid Italian food, and a great option downtown, especially before a show.

The food was great. The service was disappointing. MaitreD first expected the four of us to cram into a banquette where both sides had people sitting w their legs across sideways like they're on the public bus. When I asked the maitreD to check if there's another table he was hesitant to. We were sat in the back room, the food was great (minus the bread was cold and soggy). Our server kept forgetting our order and didn't come to check on us while we're just waiting forever for someone to come get the bill. I really wish I can give $0 gratuity.
I feel pretty bad leaving this review and I do give some grace to the restaurant because it was Saturday night valentines day but the service was incredibly bad. We waited in line for 15 minutes to get sat and then they tried to give us an out by time which was under the allotted dining period. When we mentioned the manager was nice about it and they did accommodate our timing. Our server did not punch in our drinks so our food came first. We waited almost 25 minutes for drinks. We specifically asked for our app and then pizza and then mains but the pizza came with the app. The server never came to check in on us after any of our food arrived, we had to flag someone down when our medium rare steak came out well done. Our server spent a lot of time chatting with staff near the kitchen and never engaged with us. We tried to ask our server for recos at the beginning and she seemed quite annoyed by it then rushed through it and walked away, I had no idea what she said When we paid she just asked if we wanted a copy and then walked away. No thank you or have a nice evening. It was totally bizarre to be honest for this calibre of restaurant. The food was okay but I wouldn’t go back for the service.

Wasn't super busy so I was able to snag a table for myself. Ashley and Chris were so nice and accommodating. I always love getting a quick bite to eat for lunch here instead of eating at the mall

I brought in my younger sisters for dinner. The lady who served us didn't come and greet us for 10 mins. Then pushed us to order right away. My sister had questions about a meal and she just shut it down rushing her. She asked if we had any allergies. I then stated that I am allergic to shellfish and she said that they aren't a shellfish safe restaurant and can't guarantee. Which is fine, but how she treated us was as if I was young child. I don't know if it was because I was with the younger girls that she thought we were all young, but she didn't pay us any attention for the rest of the night. Our food took forever to come as well as our dessert. The food was cold and part of the pasta was hard. The table beside that arrived after us was not only actually payed attention to and received service, but its food came out faster. The only one to actually acknowledge us and actually show us service was the bus boy. When I asked for the bill she rudely assumed we wanted it spilt multiple ways. Which I said one bill. I didn't want to leave a tip, but the machine didn't leave an option for it.
