“The food was insanely good! Very well seasoned, fresh, good portion sizes, etc. The 2 associates were very friendly and gave us good recommendations (shoutout to them, they both had glasses). Service 10/10, Food 10/10. Drove 1 hour to get here and no regrets!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Pizza Pizza, and I truly want to appreciate the excellent service I received. The pizza was fresh, hot, and tasted really good, but what made the visit special was the outstanding customer service from Jay. Jay was extremely polite, friendly, and professional from the moment I placed my order. He listened carefully, helped me with my choices, and made sure everything was prepared perfectly and on time. His positive attitude and willingness to help really stood out and made me feel valued as a customer. It’s rare to see such dedicated and respectful service these days, and Jay definitely deserves recognition for going above and beyond. Because of this great experience, I will definitely be coming back and recommending this location to others. Great job, Jay, and thank you Pizza Pizza for such excellent service!“

“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!“

“I have visited the restaurant several times, and I can confirm the food is delicious, always well served, good portions (I have attached pictures, keep in mind some are half doses of the requested food). The customer service is excellent, super friendly and very professional.
I will be coming back, my go to restaurant.

Highly recommend.

Parking is available across the street, huge parking lot.“

“We got the mussels and sausage pizza. Both were delicious. The mussels tasted fresh and the broth needed to be soaked up with bread! Pizza was thin, crispy and had more cheese than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. Price was very reasonable for the quality of the meal. Our server was very nice and attentive. I will be back.“

“Pizza Hut is one of those places almost everyone has tried at least once, and there’s a reason it’s stuck around for so long. As a brand (Pizza Hut), it sits right in that middle ground between fast food and a sit-down pizza experience, and whether it hits or misses really depends on what you’re expecting.
First off, the pizza itself. Pizza Hut is best known for its thicker, softer crust—especially the classic pan pizza. The crust is usually buttery and slightly crispy on the outside, but still fluffy inside. It’s not the thin, crispy style you’d get from a traditional Italian place, so if that’s what you’re looking for, it might feel heavy. But if you like a more indulgent, almost comfort-food-style pizza, it definitely delivers. The cheese is usually generous, and the sauce leans slightly sweet, which some people love and others don’t.
The variety is one of its biggest strengths. You’ve got options like stuffed crust, hand-tossed, thin crust, and even things like melts and pasta. Stuffed crust, in particular, is kind of Pizza Hut’s signature move—it’s hard to deny the appeal of cheese baked right into the edge. Toppings are pretty standard, but there’s enough flexibility to customize something you’ll enjoy.
Then there are the sides, which honestly can be just as good as the pizza. Breadsticks are a standout—they’re soft, salty, and come with that classic marinara dipping sauce. Wings are hit-or-miss depending on the location, but the sauces are usually solid. If you’re ordering with friends or family, the sides help round everything out into more of a full meal.
Price-wise, Pizza Hut is usually pretty reasonable, especially with deals and bundles. It’s not the cheapest pizza out there, but you can often get a lot of food for a decent price if you order smart. Without deals, though, it can feel a bit overpriced for what you get.
The experience depends heavily on the location. Some Pizza Hut spots still have that classic dine-in vibe with booths and a relaxed feel, while others are more takeout-focused. Service can be inconsistent—some places are fast and reliable, others can be slower, especially during busy times.
One downside is that it can feel greasy or heavy. After a few slices, it’s easy to feel full quickly, which isn’t always a bad thing, but it’s noticeable. Also, quality can vary from one location to another, which is pretty common for large chains but still worth mentioning.“

“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 ❤️“

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

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

“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 an amazing dining experience at Scaddabush in Toronto! The food was outstanding — the pizza was absolutely delicious, and the carbonara was one of the best I’ve had.

What really made the visit special was our server, Kat. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the entire meal.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great Italian food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“Exceptional food and Service every time .... Heart and Soul goes into each plate 🍴“

“Amazing food! Will be back!“

“Amazing food from a family run restaurant, large portions with inspiration from Italy. Tony is amazing!“

“Delicious foods. Vodka pasta was amazing, mushroom pasta was okay. A nice trendy tiktok restaurant worth the hype at least once. Happy hour starts right at opening and we were lucky to get a table no reso exactly at 5pm opening but it is recommended you make a reso first.“

“We had our wedding dinner at Nascosto and could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff was amazing and helped organize every detail with so much care and attention. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers, to the pasta, to the entrées, everything was incredibly delicious and high quality.

Julian was our event manager for the evening and I truly cannot say enough good things about him. He provided some of the best service we have ever experienced. Thank you to the entire team for your amazing food, hospitality, attention to detail, and for helping make our wedding celebration so memorable.“

“Food is really great, clean and hygienic“

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

“Tout est vraiment très bon!“

“Good food and service, nice atmosphere 🍷“

“We had an amazing experience here, the service, atmosphere and the food is authentic and delicious. Appetizers were tasty, a mix of bread, cheese and bruchetas. We tried the steak, lamb chops, Miso Cod all were great and highly recommended. Ended the night with yummy deserts, Creme Brule was my favourite!“

“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“

“My son and I were in town for the auto show and prefer to hot local places instead of chains, and this place is the exact reason. Our host was amazing, so welcoming and friendly, and genuinely seemed happy to have us. The atmosphere was great and our pizza and tiramisu were incredible. I wish this place existed where I live. Please get out and support local, our world is better having places like this around.“

“If you haven’t been to Annabelle Pasta Bar yet, I genuinely don’t know what you’re doing with your life.

The weekly rotating house-made pastas are elite — every week something new, every week a hit. They’re not playing it safe, and thank God for that. If you’re the type to ask for plain noodles with nothing on them, this probably isn’t your arena.

On the night I went, the lasagna was out of control. Layers on layers, rich but balanced — and that top layer? Light char, crispy cheese, those little golden edges that crack just right under your fork. I’m not saying I blacked out for a second, but I did have a small, spiritual experience. It was dangerously close to inappropriate how good it was.

The Po Bianco bread is to die for — fluffy inside, perfect crust, the kind of bread that makes the whole table pause mid-conversation. And the rotating panna cotta flavours? Silky, wobbly perfection. Not too sweet, just smooth, delicate, and stupidly good.

The FOH staff are absolute gems — warm, funny, zero ego — and the cooks in the open kitchen are dialed in, moving with that quiet confidence of people who know they’re crushing it.

Upstairs is for lovers: dim light, shared bites, soft chaos.
Downstairs is for party people: bar energy, laughter, and “one more bottle” energy.

Five stars. Go hungry. Leave boring at home“

“Amazing pasta and pizza!“

“What a great experience last night dining with family and recommended by our granddaughter. The food and ambiance were wonderful.“

“Utterly buttery Delicious FOOD ! Great hospitality, taste, atmosphere. Authentic homely taste…one leaves with comfort and experience👌😇 came to solo dine in and a book read. My order was margerita foccasia/slice & hot sandwich. Will come again, highly recommended! Soulful food with love .“

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

“Great food excellent service very attentive even the owner came to our table super friendly and great atmosphere Drew M Albuquerque New Mexico“

“From the moment we first walked in, we felt truly welcomed. The staff treat you as if you are friends visiting their home — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The food is always delicious: you can rely on the classics but also discover new dishes every time. We first came here right after arriving in Toronto, and it gave us the rare feeling of being at home in such a big city. Since then, we return several times a month, and every visit has been a positive experience. The atmosphere is cozy, the service outstanding, and the hospitality remarkable. It honestly feels like visiting friends, not just going to a restaurant. A place we highly recommend — definitely worth a visit when in Toronto!“

“They had amazing food! Their pasta is absolutely incredible I would definitely eat there again! Service was amazing and it was just an enjoyable time! Their desserts taste amazing as well!“

“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.“

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

“The staff was lovely, the food was good!! Would def eat her again!“

“EXCELLENT Pizza! Friendly staff, LOVE their bread!! (it is their pizza dough) the Bread alone was worth the trip to the city! Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely wonderful ambiance, Vincenzo e famiglia completamente meravigliosi. Dinner was absolutely fantastic highly highly recommend this hidden gem in Etobicoke.“

“Popped into padella for a quick bite this week... wound up sharing a few things. They had a grilled asparagus and burrata appetizer that was to die for.... shared a pizza and a pasta...I really like my food spicy but my cousin doesn't so I asked if they had any chili oil or flakes... they brought me a homemade chili oil that was perfect for a pizza.. the pizza was fantastic... the dough was very thin which I love but still managed to have a nice breadyness to it. The pasta was so good we're still drooling about it. Don't forget the homemade lava cake for dessert....I think the best dessert I've ever had. The owner makes all the desserts and pizza dough and foccaccia fresh every day and you can really taste the love in it. Totally recommend this place. 12 out of 10“

“Great food great atmosphere 👏🍷“

“Great little gem. We were there on a Wednesday, there were no other guest there, only the cook. We received great hospitality from the cook, of which I suspect is the owner as well. However I would think there could be service issues if there are more customers.

Food is fantastic, taste super fresh. In my opinion, slightly under portion for its price. But overall flavor is fantastic and I will definitely recommend and return.“

“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“

“A friend and I enjoyed lunch on Friday October 17. We had reserved and were seated at one of their window tables. Our server Quinn was friendly and efficient and was able to offer his opinion on main dishes we selected. The portions were more than generous and both of us were provided with take away containers. My friend has decided to book a family birthday here later this month. And I plan to return to Trattoria Di Parma early in November with friends who will be visiting from Calgary. Final comments: Great food, great service and very reasonable prices.“

“Thank you, Chef Piotr Przykaza and your wife for phenomenal dinner and Tristian for an amazing service 😊🍷 Very highly recommend it 👍“
