“Visited all the way from Oakville last night & highly recoomend this place. The service was top tier & she was so kind & friendlyyyy 🙏🏻 i was bit skeptical if it would live up to it’s hype & glad to say it didn’t disappoint. Wish there was better parking so we could have stayed longer.

We love d the half & half juice & the pasta with aglio olio had the perfect sweetness to it. It really was cooked to perfection. Blesssssssss.“

“My Favourite Pizzeria I go here almost everyday the staff is amazing ? they treat my family very well recommend this location for family dinners the diner is very nice and clean too. thank you all of you guys for being a great location to eat at !“

“Came here on a bakery tour with friends.

Tiramisu cup is excellent. I like that the lady fingers are dipped enough to have a coffee flavour but are not completely mush and have some texture to it.

The cannoli is delicious and packed with that chocolate chip cream. The lemon zest within really comes through and is refreshments.

The chocolate truffle is light and refreshing.

I would come here again and recommend it.

Parking: Smal 10 space parking lot infront of the store.“

“By far the most selection of vegan pizzas in the city and they taste amazing. I especially am a big fan of the vegan pesto base, and the diverse vegan meat alternatives options at hand. the best vegan garlic bread, especially when vegan cheese is added. they are in my top 3 choices and the second place I've come across with vegan pesto- that's a rarity! so many thanks to their great efforts at making amazing vegan pizzas!“

“Kid-friendliness: Brought my 13 and 10 year-old for the first time - they loved it. But they know that restaurants are not a playground. Space is small so kids running around cause problems for staff/servers as well as other dinners. So bring activities to keep smaller kids sitting and occupied is my advice.“

“I found an amazing Hidden Gem of Pizza Hut store just on the corner of Dufferin south & Eglinton, Toronto. The Pizza was made well done and the quantity of ingredients and quality was exceptional. The store staff was very friendly and very professional. I will definitely coming to this location more & more now.
Also I highly recommend this location to everyone.
Thank you so much“

“First class from beginning to end. We were lucky to reserve seats at the chef’s bar and see the detail and care that goes in to every dish. Great chat, buzzing atmosphere and fantastic food. A memorable evening ❤️“

“I can never get tired of this place. I really enjoy their menu. Great atmosphere, great weight staff overall, I have a great experience visited the Sherway Gardens location first followed by the location by Colossus Both locations left me with great experience overall and will return again!“

“Second time there to having dinner with my husband by Dior’s retreat. Very thankful and grateful“

“The food was unbelievably good. Everything I had was exceptional, but I especially recommend the Sophia pizza and the shrimp spaghetti. I also got the piccante sauce on the side for the Sophia Pizza (the combination was amazing).

The customer service was also top notch. Our server, Christian, was very friendly, and made us feel so welcomed. He gave amazing recommendations. He genuinely seems passionate about his job. The food arrived warm and on time. I am so impressed. Definitely recommend this place!!!“

“The food is beyond amazing!! And they have a great selection of desserts as well. ✨“

“I ordered the wedding soup take out. $7.99 but the paper cup they give you is minuscule. Should be at least double the size for the price they charge. What a rip off. Too bad because I like there food overall“

“We had fabulous service. Our waiter Tim was fantastic. Very attentive and wonderful personality Would highly recommend going there if you are in Toronto“

“Amazing service and amazing food every single time. H“

“Great find. We sat at the bar as they were busy, bar staff were very friendly and knowlegable about the menu, always looked after us. We both had the pasta dish off of their specials menu. Shrimp with an Italian sausage, it was piping hot and very tasty!“

“What a charming and cozy spot. Each dish is beautifully designed. We had a pizza that was light and crispy and the salsicchia and gnocchi were unbelievable. The open kitchen really adds to the environment as well, it is fun to see and hear everything that goes on that is usually behind the scenes.“

“Wow it was so good experience the service was good the good was so good it was my first time there all I can say I do recommend to try it my boys meet the chef very friendly“

“Food is really great, clean and hygienic“

“Discovered through a Google search, taking a chance paid off! We were seeking something a bit unique, and our first visit left us thoroughly impressed. I enjoyed the Chicken Parmigiana, while Lu opted for the Frittura Mista Appetizer. Everything exceeded our expectations. This spot is now a definite go-to for us. Huge thanks to Chef Tony and the team—you transformed an ordinary post-work meal into something truly memorable!“

“Tout est vraiment très bon!“

“This was our first time at the restaurant. We were greeted like valuable clients. Rocco was very hospitable and told us his story. Vince was the perfect host and Mahi gave us such excellent service. The food, it was delicious. My husband had the tagliatelle bolognese and I had the gnocchi al Gorgonzola. My mouth still waters when I think of the flavours.“

“Service and food was impeccable. Parking was a bit messy but the valet was a good option. Given the area - prices may seem a bit high but it’s justified. Our server was attentive, food was lovely and corkage wasn’t too bad should you wish to bring your own bottle.

Was here to celebrate some belated birthdays and the desserts were comped which was an appreciated touch.“

“Amazing pasta and pizza!“

“Quite simply - this is truly a great neighbourhood retreat ! Staff are maxing and the owner Sina has a way of making everyone feel like they are a VIP REGULAR !“

“We heard good things about Buon Giorno so decided to check it out. It's a super small restaurant in a plaza that can be easy to miss - make sure you don't. It is truly authentic Italian cuisine. It's not the place to go for a fancy meal. Instead, it's where you go to taste real Italian cooking, fresh from the Nonna's hands herself. I'm not kidding. There was three generations of family working there who are eager to please you with amazing service and fantastic flavours. The food is fresh, wholesome and made with love.

Veal, chicken cutlets, beef all can be had with sides or in a sandwich. They had pizza and pasta and meatballs of course also. It all looked and smelled incredible in the hot table.

My mother and I arrived there just before lunch and it wasn't long before the place was packed. Obvious that a lot of the blue collar workers loved coming in for their huge sandwiches. There was a couple tables inside and a couple picnic tables outside.

My mother's meal was hot, tasty, full of flavour and the meat she said was super delicious and tender. My mortadella & salomi sandwich was delicious with simple and fresh ingredients. The bun was super fresh too which is always nice.

If I wanted to show someone true Italian cooking, this is the first place I'd take them. Simple, wholesome, amazing food and top-notch service. The manager made us feel relaxed like he was serving us in his own home. Much appreciated.

Thank you Buon Giorno!! Will be coming back soon!

Oh! They also have an amazing coffee and espresso bar. Unfortunately we were too full to try, but next time it's a must!“

“Best vegan food ever! Every time we visit Toronto, we stop for a great evening❤️“

“Awesome Italian Restaurant. Authentic friendly staff. Great lunch or dinner options.“

“We selected this restaurant based on its location but not knowing anything about it. We were very happy with our choice and had an amazing evening. The starters we chose were burrata with beets and carpaccio di crevo. Both were very good. We then had linguine con asttice and upon the server's recommendation, lamb. These dishes were flavorful and beautifully presented. What made the night even better was the fantastic service. Marty from Sudbury was amazing! He made solid food and drink recommendations along with engaging in great conversation. After trying a number of restaurants on College St, this one is our favourite. We definitely will be returning!“

“Food is great and reasonably priced ,great drinks and the staff are excellent ,well trained and have a laugh with you .The manager made me a Caesar (cocktail) and converted me …. Will definitely be back“

“would highly recommend going there.... Food... Excellent Service... Excellent Atmosphere... Excellent They ALWAYS aim to PLEASE.“

“I have recently been dealing with some health issues that have greatly restricted my diet. Thank you to the staff at La Vecchia for accommodating my requirements and making my dining experience so enjoyable.“

“Good food and service, nice atmosphere 🍷“

“Walked in on a Thursday evening with my wife and 10-month old (they don’t take resos for groups less than 5). Place was packed. About a 25 minute wait for a table. Service was solid - they checked our stroller and the staff felt warm and friendly. Ambience is great. Lot of fun decorations and good music. We ordered the calamari, risotto balls, gnocchi, and ossobuco. I was super excited for the food to come. It was a decent meal; just no WOW factor and the seasoning was lacking. For example, the ossobucco was meat in gravy with a couple of mushrooms — I would strongly consider serving that dish with something starchy (like mashed potatoes or polenta) for balance. I’d come back to give it another chance if in the area.“

“Excellent food and incredible, friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent food. Their Wagyu Burger on a Charcoal Bun is very unique and is really high quality for the price. Fresh pineapple juice was on point. Pesto Pasta was amazing. Highly recommended place for lunch or dinner.

Parking: Loads of parking available. Also TTC accessible.“

“Today we celebrated my father’s 90th birthday and there is no better place to celebrate than at Tovico! The food is great, the staff is very professional and make you feel very welcoming. Our guests commented that they would be coming back soon making us feel that they also had a great experience. Thank Riccardo, Tessa, Leo and staff for a great time. See you soon, Mary“

“nice restaurant. food was good. my half rack of lamb was good although I have had better at that price. it was sitting in a very salty sauce..the waiter took it back and put my food on a clean plate without the sauce. didn't even offer to pay my espresso for the trouble. a little crowded as well. my amarena ricotta cheesecake was the highlight.“

“Take out Gluten Free Pizza - taste amazing, the sauce and cheese is perfect - fresh basil and the crust is absolutely beautiful! You can tell care is taken with quality ingredients. As someone with a food allergy it's had to find this kind of great tasting quality food in a pizza. Well done Ciao!“

“What an amazing experience we had for our anniversary at this Gastropub. Unassuming from the outside but the food and service were exceptional.

We started with some fancy cocktails that had the perfect touch of class and theatrics. The lobster roll was stacked perfectly and the Frito Misto had a light batter that was one of the best we’ve had. I will not hesitate to order both again on my next visit. Our main pasta dishes were delicious and did not disappoint either as we had the Rigatoni Carbonara and the Ravioli Porcini and Tartufo. We ended with the Chocolate Lava Cake and the Chefs Famous Bread Pudding that were the perfect end to our meal.

Overall we had an amazing time and we’ll definitely be back. The table side service for the appetizers and desserts were a nice touch with the food being plated for you.“

“Best food and great service. It's always a pleasure to dine at Grappa Restaurant“

“Ostaria Giula has the most amazing staff our server was Giancarlo he was super amaziOstaria Giulia hang with great recommendations. He was very knowledgeable about all the food and was able to suggest dishes for food allergies. I was so excited to go to our first Michelin star restaurant to celebrate a birthday and an anniversary. I was hoping to be able to meet Rob Rossi but I didn't just meet him, he was aware of our celebration and he took the time to come and great us .....I am a foodie so I was truly star struck. David Minicucci went above and beyond getting us a perfect table and ensuring we had a wonderful celebration. Thank you all at Ostaria Giulia from the chefs to servers and bar tender and the wonderful sommelier who suggested the perfect wine. We had an amazing time that I will remember forever. BRAVO!!!!!“

“Via Allegro has been one of my favorite restaurants for many, many years. In 2022, they changed ownership, but the warm, family-like atmosphere remains as special as ever. Every visit is memorable, and last night was no exception. My girlfriend and I celebrated a milestone, and the staff went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. Our server, Alex, made sure every detail was perfect (it’s the second time we've been lucky enough to have him). From the personalized reservation card on the table to the exquisite wine selection, served at the perfect temperature and topped up at just the right moment, everything was flawless. And, of course, the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to Alex and Mohamad Fakih for making our evening truly magical. Via Allegro continues to set the bar for exceptional service and dining.“

“Great and intimate restaurant with food made fresh right there. The owner works the floor and makes and effort to great every guest - you really feel taken care of! Food is delicious too, but make sure to give it a second to cool down before biting in as it is served fresh and hot“

“Our first time there.so many good things to say. The service good vibes just loved it. What a way to celebrate my moms birthday. Thank you so much will definitely be back. 🍷🍷❤️“
