50 Best Italian Restaurants near Unionville

“Took my gf here for a belated valentine's day dinner. Made a reservation a month in advance for 7pm on OpenTable with no issues. Super smooth.There's designated parking for the resto behind the building (the corridors are single vehicle between the buildings so just be mindful).It's very cozy inside. It's literally a house that's been converted into a resto. There's 2 floors of seating (w/ extra washrooms on the 2nd floor).Now I had seen a special valentine's menu posted on their website but unfortunately, the waitress informed us that they weren't serving it anymore. She did notify us that there were 3 specials in place (the seafood risotto piqued our interest for sure).Complimentary bread (w/ sea salt and olive oil) arrived at our table before we even ordered.For mains we ordered a seafood linguine and tagliatelle ragu. The seafood in the linguine was super fresh and the tomatoes really sang in the sauce. But my gf and I agreed that the tagliatelle was our favourite because it had both pork and veal in the ragu and it tasted soooo savoury. There was just a lil extra umami in the sauce. The pasta in both dishes was cooked perfectly al dente though.They only served 2 desserts the night we went. A lemon cheesecake w/ blueberry compote and tiramisu. Since we both had some room left, we got both. The cheesecake was not as tart as I thought it would be. Rather, it was subtle and I thought the crust could've been better imo. It was slightly too soft (I would've preferred a harder crust). The tiramisu was excellent though. On the same level as Nonna Lia which I think makes the best tiramisu in the city. Would definitely order the tiramisu again.We washed everything down w/ a nice bit of pinot grigio shared between us.On my next visit I'm hoping they serve veal chop as one of my close friends had it and he said it was simply exquisite. My dad's friend also claimed that the seafood platter was also very delicious so I might take a closer look at that as well in the future.Obviously, the price is lil bit higher than your family, casual italian spot but for a special occasion I would totally recommend this resto as the food and service were both awesome.“

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about this restaurant! My friend and I had our 18th birthday dinner here and it was more than perfect. The service and atmosphere was amazing! The food was also very delicious. I highly reccomend, and will definitely be coming back:)“

“Had visited multiple scaddabush but this place ?. Love ambience and service. We have Andrew as a server and his knowledge on dishes are really good. As specially I am vegetarian and he helped me through the best option for us. If you are in GTA and looking for scaddabush totally recommend this one. Try sometime in lunch time you will get best taste.“

“I entered the restaurant and was greeted warmly by the staff. The ambiance was cozy and inviting. I ordered a classic pepperoni pizza and a side of garlic bread. The service was efficient, and my order arrived promptly. The pizza was delicious, with the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings. The garlic bread was also flavorful and satisfying. Overall, it was a great dining experience at Pizza Pizza, and I would definitely return for more tasty pizza!“

“We visited Scaddabush on Progress Ave. It was an amazing experience and our Server, Jacob made it even better. He was homely, friendly and did a fantastic job. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some authentic Italian food as well as some great customer service.“

“We ordered the panini, matcha latte, Italian coke and pepperoni pizza all was delicious and we loved the flavor of the panini!!! Fresh, delicious and tasty! The pizza was different but in a good way!!! Really good! We love it! The only thing that I will suggest it was the service being a little but slow with the Cutlery, we had our pizza but not plates, after a few minutes waiting, we have to remember them about it; that doesn’t bother us that much, but Overall rating will be 5 stars, I will come back for sure, that little thing don’t opaque my experience at all because everything was really good!“

“It was our first time visiting this restaurant. Very, warm and welcoming atmosphere, we immediately felt at ease. The place was packed during Saturday night dinner. The servers took good care of us. Food was absolutely delicious and unique dishes. We shall definitely return in the future!Vegetarian options: They were very kind to customize the polenta dish to be completely vegetarian. Our server even checked with the kitchen that it’s not cooked in chicken broth.“

“We recently made my Mom’s 100th birthday lunch here. We had approximately 60 adults and 4 small children. I cannot rave enough about how accommodating the entire staff were from owner, to servers, to chefs…The menu they created was wonderful with the most delicious choices and generous portions. I would strongly recommend this restaurant for entertainments ( showers, engagements, small events .. etc) but also for lunch or dinner. They have a wonderful patio as well. I can’t wait to go back and I have the dishes I personally didn’t order. They were all great. My guests can’t stop raving.“

“my favourite cafe in the area, most kind owners, been coming here for years for their ginseng latte! i wish this could be closer to home, but used to come here often during a lunch break (before covid). so happy to know it’s stayed busier, i stop by whenever i get the chance! don’t hesitate to come for coffee. or quick lunch. it’s simple and quick, not anything fancy but the owners put lots of effort into making the food and making sure you have a great experience!“

“Manager Jenna and chef Randy made our menu tasting experience an unforgettable evening! They paid attention to great detail and made sure we were well taken care of. They made the space feel warm and inviting (it felt like eating at a mom & pop restaurant) as the sun set behind us. Thank you to all the staff that were all so accommodating to us. We had an amazing thyme. We will definitely be coming back and we highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to feel at home paired with delicious food and warm smiles!“

“First time to this cafe, such a cute cafe, super nice and welcoming people. Loved the service. Tried their deli sandwich and chicken parm sandwich, both were delicious. Loved it was made fresh and tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be returning to try more stuff for sure, especially the pastas.“

The food is not just good; it's fresh, delicious, and a true delight for the taste buds. One standout dish is their Tiramisu, which is a must-try for dessert lovers. It's rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, making it a perfect ending to a fantastic meal at Grazie Ristorante.“

“Two and a half years ago, just before Christmas, my daughter planned a small wedding and this was her last choice.The taste of the food and service at that time were fantastic. And today, I had lunch there with my husband. I couldn't find the dish I wanted to eat, but it tasted good. Thank you to the friendly Mr. Angelo and Mr. Meni!Next time I will come in the evening.“

“My wife and In love The Good Son at Shops at Don Mills. We have been frequenting this location for 5 years now and the staff haven’t missed a beat.Service is impeccable, from the hostess to the servers and general manager, everyone provides great conversation and treats us with a smile.The menu options are great and they introduce new items from time to time which keeps the menu fresh. The cooks execute each dish with consistency.“

“Hidden gem, this place is supposed to have a line up! The food is sooo good, custom made pasta will not disappoint, very likely the best pasta I’ve had so far! Ordered rack lamb, custom pasta, and tiramisu, all one of a kind homemade! One improvement is the octopus has too much of a salty and fishy taste, but overall it’s so good that minor imperfection is negligible. Great ambiance and very clean, even the bathroom.“

“Love this place. The owners and staff are terrific! The quality of food is top notch and they always bring an amuse bouche, some homemade sorbet to cleanse the pallete between courses and then of course a shot of Polish vodka or Lemoncello to top everything off. Would highly recommend!“

“At first I was skeptical as the place was quite small, but once you sit down, everything just comes together, the staff are very hospitable, and friendly, the food was outstanding and the French fries unbeatable, I'm not a fan of polenta, but thier version was delicious, 10 out of 10 for me. Well done.“

“Pizza Pizza isnt the best pizza, but it is definitely reliable. The staff were friendly and there was ample seating including a waiting bench for takeout orders (i think this is a Pizza Pizza standard). Anyway, didnt have to wait too long, and the half moon cheesy bread was surprisingly good!“

“Best pizza pizza location by far!! Dipen is so friendly and makes the pizzas so well and so consistently. He also handles special orders very well every time. I often don’t risk getting it anywhere else. Highly recommend, thank you Dipen!!“

“I’ve been here twice in the last 8 days. This location is very generous with their toppings and the pies are true to size. No shrinkflation here! Also, the prices are 10% cheaper than the location opposite of Markville Mall and the staff is quite friendly. I had read the reviews and spotted the 3.7 rating, but still decided to try em out. Anyways, I think this place got new owners who were able to turn it around, and it shows.“

“Excellent meal - grilled calamari appetizer was delicious. Main dishes were outstanding (crispy duck leg, braised short ribs, veal chop). Excellent dessert & nice wine selection. Great, friendly, attentive service & cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Friendly owners, had the chicken souvlaki salad. Lettuce was fresh and crisp, nice green colour and good quality too, not that subway type. Very fast service with the chicken already being ready, and the price is 3-5 dollars cheaper then most places. All you need for a lunch spot!“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Tutto Pronto. The food was excellent. The service was beyond wonderful. Grilled Calamari. An incredible risotto with lobster and grilled cod. Huge serving. The grilled branzino is perfectly cooked. Don't hesitate to eat in or take out as well“

“A very nice experience overall, very good food, nice atmosphere and excellent service. We had shrimp al pesto and a small pizza with pepperoni , mushrooms, red peppers and and anchovies. The pasta was perfect, sauce included pine nuts, tiger shrimp were perfectly cooked and plentiful. Pizza crust was quite good, sauce a nice balance between sweet and savory. Toppings were delicious. As for dessert...the tiramisu is outstanding. We'll certainly be back!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options, including vegan lasagna and even a vegan burger.“

“Have been coming to this location for a while now. It is the best PiCo in the GTA after going to several others over the years. Very friendly staff, extremely clean from inside, and great food as well with several vegan and vegetarian options.“

Every time when I ordered food from this location such a great experience. Wings and other food also so yum and always fresh.. highly recommend..“

“The food is fantastic here.The bread... they are doing something special bc this bread is really good.Now, if you like pizza, get one of their brick wood oven pizzas when they have the oven going. I was there at lunch. The pizza is Amazing! And I'd put it up against any pizza in Italy ... it's that good. ?“

“Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the pizza. The proximity to the neighboring table made it quite noisy... The service was good though.Unfortunately, I didn't really like the pizza. The table next to me was so close that it was so noisy that I couldn't hear the conversation at my table.“

“OMG!! It took me back to the original California sandwich place in Little Italy. I remember the 2 girls of Papa that’s how the sandwich got the name(California Sandwich) I think it was they came back from California all tanned and we all called them the California girls.The best place to get a great Sandwich & olives ..so I was telling the young people behind the counter that I was so excited to have bumped into this place.I was not disappointed it was just like I remember absolutely delicious & the young people working there were so kind to listen to me talk about the “Good old days” thank you very muchYou made my day xoxParking: Very easy to park lots of spots & free“

The menu offers wide variety of pizza options, all made with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavour. The restaurant ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for family dinners or casual outings. I highly recommend this place.“

“It was my first visit to an Italian restaurant. As I entered the entrance, I was greeted with a bright welcome, which made me feel very good.I started with the daily soup and garlic bread as appetizers, which was my mistake... because the portions were so large!! (the best) I was able to fill my stomach with just this.But I couldn't pass up the pasta, so I immediately ordered the Shrimp Al Pesto, which was also perfect. The seasoning was appropriate and the quantity was sufficient.I'm not good at English, but the server checked on me often and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. The service was top notch.I will definitely visit this place again!“

“Decided to check this place out before grocery shopping. First impressions are clean and contemporary. Interesting setup in that you go up to the counter to order cafeteria-style, and then they bring your food to your table; food that may not be authentic, but that doesn't stop it from being pretty delicious! All in all, it's a cute little establishment to stop by for a quick bite at a decent price, especially for lunch on the weekdays!“

“Its been renovated since I was last there looks great now and the pizza still has it's quality 6 out of 5 from me when ever Im in the area I still come here. I haven't found better pizza yet and I've been searching. It's very authentic and hommy in here they are definitely doing something right I will be back“

“Seafood risotto, burrata, prosciutto, cherry tomato pizza, and ricotta pear dessert were amazing!!!Steak was a miss here. Aged steak was unevenly cooked where one half was perfectly cooked medium rare while other half was well done. Medium rare side was good though.It was unfortunate that they did not have another new aged steak. Instead, we got an angus steak that was cooked medium rare but steak was bland and on the tough side. I think it was not seasoned beforehand. As well, it was odd that half the fries that came with the angus steak were cooked and crispy while other half were undercooked.“
