We placed orders for four pizzas, pasta, and the sea bass main course. However, tilapia was served. The fact that they would be serving tilapia rather than sea bass was not disclosed by the server. When the server heard from us, she verified with the manager and sent both plates back (they obviously knew they were not serving the fish listed in the menu). The pizza was okay!When we got our bill they charged us for the fish and again had to inform the server about it. She acknowledged it and adjusted the bill, however they charged the tax on the original amount. We again had to ask the server to revise the bill to reflect the correct charge.

The experience of going to Piazzetta Trattoria has been incredible, I had never before had the opportunity to go to an authentic Italian restaurant and its food has been of exceptional quality, everything very delicious, the place was very clean and the attention with its clients It is incredible, 5 stars very deserved.

Not like it used to be. In the 2000s this was my favourite pizzeria but since then the quality has greatly diminished. Management has changed is likely the reason.I booked a table in advance for a birthday and asked for a dessert with candle be brought out at the end. The service was poor despite the restaurant not being full and plenty of service staff.The pizza was tasteless. They didn’t top up our water or ask to refill our drinks. They didn’t take our main order till we asked after our appetizer was eaten. The antipasto dish was poorly presented - it used to be carefully set up on a wood board, now it’s enough food for 6 people and consists of 2 plates seemingly straight from a can. And worst part, the birthday candle request didn’t happen.Very disappointed!

We eat at this Italian restaurant frequently now. Our children love the pizza, and the staff is always friendly and charming. The wood oven is what makes the difference here. One of the few authentic Italian restaurant in North Toronto with really tasty food and wine!

I went to this joint thinking it was going to be good, and somehow my expectations were excelled. This joint isn't good, it's incredible. The atmosphere is very Italian, which hits home and the attention that the servers and owner give you are beyond good. If you ever go to Toronto make sure to go this amazing joint.

Without doubt one of the worst meals I have ever had. The service was worse even. Don't believe the 5-star reviews as they are almost certainly fake. You really are better off going to the McDonald's across the street.

Authentic Italian food straight from the owner of the establishment. Polite and quick service... Most importantly, great food!Veal parmesan ?

Ordered takeout, Linguine alla pescatore. Lots of shrimp, mussels, and calamari. Good amount of bread and olive appetizer. Fast service, 15min from ordering to ready. If anything the portion was too large for me, I needed to take a couple breathers.Food prices are going up everywhere and North Toronto commercial rents are sky high but I feel like the price was fair for the amount of food.

Attention a small private event at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. Good food made with care and staff was eager to please. Charming place hidden on a busy street.

I have been coming to Piazzetta for the last two years the vealchop i ordered was perfect.Very good food, generous portions, very fast service, foccaccias, pizzas, Caprese salad, burrata, Rigatoni al forno, fettuccine alla pescatore and penne alla vodka are amazing.
Update: My mom had a very nice conversation with the owner today. He knew nothing about the incident that had happened or the message I had sent to the restaurant afterwards. He was extremely kind and apologetic when my mom told him the story behind my review.Following the conversation, my mom asked me to update this review and be sure to mention that this restaurant has the best Linguine alla Pescatore she’s ever tasted!Thank you, Piazzetta!********************************My family celebrated my mom’s 78th birthday here this past weekend. The food was excellent. However, the gentleman who appeared to be in charge (owner? manager?) was incredibly rude to my mother.My husband and I arrived late and, when my mom told us what the gentleman had said to her, we both agreed that our family should have left and gone to another restaurant.My mom used to love Piazzetta. We’ve celebrated dozens of occasions here.I reached out to the restaurant privately, the night of our dinner, to let them know how upset my family and I were about the way my mom was treated. My message was not acknowledged.Despite the good food, no one in my family will be returning to this restaurant. I just hope the gentleman who treated my mom so very disrespectfully recognizes and regrets what he did.

Charming restaurant with a wood-fired oven. The service was good, and the pizza was great! My only criticism is that we went on a hot day and with the heat from the oven, the temperature in the restaurant was very high.

Addy took care of us. The service was great. The pizza is amazing, the tiramisu is one of the best I have had and manicotti was good too. My wife enjoyed her sangria as well. Highly reccomended

Amazing time. From the good to the service everything was perfect. Adi was our server and the manager as well and from the moment we sat down you could tell he had passion for customer service and his restaurant. 11/10 recommendation and a must visit spot.
